The U.S. Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Air Greenland A/S, doing business as Greenlandair Inc A/S, to provide charter and scheduled passenger and cargo air transportation services between Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) in Greenland, Copenhagen in Denmark, and Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. The IDC has a ceiling value of $34,206,030.98 and a period of performance through February 28, 2025. This contract supports ongoing government operations and research activities in the Arctic region, with Air Greenland, the national airline of Greenland, serving as the prime contractor. Under the IDC, the AFSPC has issued multiple delivery order contracts to Air Greenland for these air transportation services, with recent awards valued at $2,331,682.33, $6,246,115.31, $5,673,692.15, and $3,789,081.92. These firm-fixed-price delivery orders do not have set-aside designations and were competitively awarded using a best-value tradeoff source selection, with past performance considered approximately equal to price.
The IDC and associated delivery orders aim to procure charter and scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo, primarily between U.S. military installations and research facilities in Greenland, Denmark, and the surrounding Arctic region. The contracted services include round-trip charters with specific capacity requirements, as well as ad-hoc scheduled flights. Air Greenland has provided these critical air transportation services to the U.S. government for many years, demonstrating its expertise in facilitating the military and scientific presence in the Arctic.
