This federal contract IDV award to Global Ground Support, LLC, a small business manufacturer of deicing equipment, is focused on the procurement of specialized Class A truck-mounted and Class B extended reach deicer trucks to support aircraft deicing operations for the U.S. Air Force. The $69 million indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded in October 2021 by the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base, and is set aside for small businesses.
Under this IDC, the Air Force has issued multiple delivery orders totaling approximately $21.5 million as of early 2024 for the provision of deicing trucks and related equipment. The delivery orders are firm-fixed-price contracts typically specifying delivery of the deicing vehicles to Global Ground Support's facility in Olathe, Kansas, with performance periods extending through October 2027. This IDC serves as the primary mechanism for the Air Force to obtain Global Ground Support's specialized deicing capabilities, ensuring consistent availability of these critical assets to maintain aircraft readiness at global Air Force installations.
