About this IDV
The U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command awarded Southwest Airlines Co. a Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) Indefinite Delivery contract effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2030, with a ceiling value of $18,000,000. This multiple-award contract, which was not set-aside designated, establishes Southwest Airlines as a prime contractor providing domestic and international charter air transportation services to support Department of Defense air mobility and logistics requirements. The contract leverages Southwest Airlines' commercial fleet and route network to enable the federal government to access additional airlift capacity during emergencies or periods of heightened transportation demand. The initial task order issued under this IDV carries a $3,000 firm fixed-price ceiling and is based in Dallas, Texas, where Southwest Airlines maintains operational headquarters.
The originating solicitation, posted in August 2023 as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside opportunity with a period of performance from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2028, sought air charter transportation services for the transport of human remains and escorts originating from Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, with coverage extending throughout the Continental United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, and other North American countries. The contracted services encompass all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, and materials required to execute charter transportation operations, including maintenance, supervision, and comprehensive documentation of services rendered. These services fulfill a critical Department of Defense capability under the CRAF program, which supplements the active-duty military airlift fleet by contractually obligating commercial carriers to provide aircraft and crews to the government during national emergencies or military contingencies.
