Delta Air Lines, Inc. was awarded a $97,870 delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services by the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command on December 12, 2017, with final performance completion expected by December 16, 2017. This firm fixed-price delivery order was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery vehicle and carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Delta's status as a large commercial carrier. Performance will be executed in West Columbia, South Carolina.
This award represents a routine personnel and cargo transportation requirement within Air Mobility Command's broader air mobility portfolio. Delta Air Lines has established itself as a primary government contractor for AMC's domestic charter needs, leveraging its extensive commercial fleet and logistics infrastructure to support Department of Defense transportation requirements. The relatively modest contract value and compressed performance timeline indicate this is a standard short-notice charter operation within the scope of Delta's existing federal contracting relationships with the Defense Department.
