Delta Air Lines, Inc. was awarded a $86,940 firm fixed-price delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services by the Air Mobility Command (AMC), a major command within the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract, awarded on May 31, 2017, with an ultimate completion date of June 3, 2017, represents a short-duration task order supporting AMC's personnel and cargo mobility requirements. This delivery order was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, which serves as the master contract vehicle enabling AMC to procure flexible air transportation capacity from commercial carriers. The performance location is designated as Fort Drum, New York, reflecting the military installation where services are required. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.
Delta Air Lines' selection as the awardee reflects its status as a major global air carrier and established federal contractor with extensive experience supporting the Department of Defense's transportation needs. As one of the nation's largest commercial airlines, Delta maintains a sophisticated fleet and extensive domestic route network that enables rapid response to government mobility requirements. The company currently holds multiple active indefinite delivery contracts with the federal government, including substantial CRAF (Civil Reserve Air Fleet) program commitments and GSA City Pair Program awards valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, demonstrating its significant role in providing both routine and contingency airlift services to federal agencies.
