The USTRANSCOM Global Heavyweight Service (GHS) is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to Western Global Airlines Inc. to provide global logistics support for the transportation of outsized and oversized cargo weighing over 100 pounds. Under this $415.6 million master IDIQ contract, Western Global Airlines has received multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders valued at over $591,000 to $4.9 million to ship heavy military equipment and supplies to locations such as Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Jordan, Germany, and other overseas sites in support of various Department of Defense programs and operations, including Operation Freedom's Sentinel. The USTRANSCOM GHS contract vehicle allows Western Global Airlines to utilize its fleet of long-range Boeing 747 freighters to fulfill the Defense Department's global transportation requirements without the use of any set-aside designations.
The USTRANSCOM GHS IDIQ facilitates the delivery of critical cargo worldwide in support of combatant commands and military forces stationed abroad. As the prime contractor, Western Global Airlines leverages the contract's terms and conditions to provide expedited, heavyweight air freight services for the pickup and delivery of overweight shipments weighing up to 300 pounds. This enables the Office of the Secretary of Defense and its components to meet their global logistics needs by transporting supplies, equipment, and other materiel to locations worldwide through a flexible, multiple-award contract structure.
