About this IDV
United Airlines, Inc. holds a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $37.3 million with the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command for Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) air transportation services, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2030. The contract was awarded on October 1, 2024, without small business set-aside designation, reflecting United Airlines' status as a large commercial carrier. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, United Airlines provides comprehensive air transportation solutions including passenger transport, cargo shipping, charter flights, and in-flight catering operations to support government mobility and logistics requirements. The CRAF program enables the Department of Defense to utilize commercial airline capacity during national emergencies and contingency operations. Most delivery orders under this contract specify a place of performance at 1173 Delaware Street in Denver, Colorado, with select orders extending to international locations including Poland and Chicago, Illinois.
As of the contract documentation reviewed, United Airlines has received at least 15 delivery orders totaling approximately $6.9 million against the $37.3 million IDV ceiling. These delivery orders, awarded between October 2024 and August 2025, are structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions, reflecting the variable nature of fuel costs and operational expenses in air transportation services. Individual delivery order values range from $86,107.10 to $3.87 million, with most carrying performance periods extending through September 30, 2030. The underlying solicitation referenced in the contract documentation indicated an initial intent to procure air charter transportation services for human remains transport from Dover Air Force Base under a small business set-aside; however, the awarded IDV to United Airlines proceeded without such restrictions, indicating the final procurement strategy prioritized the carrier's existing commercial capacity and established federal contract performance history for broader CRAF air transportation services.
