Charter Airlift Services in Support of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet 2016-2018 (CRAF)

Air Mobility Command awarded this Master IDIQ for full-plane passenger and cargo airlift services in support of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program on October 1, 2016, with ordering closed as of September 30, 2018. The vehicle is no longer active; the last task order awarded September 26, 2018, placing this vehicle seven years and nine months past its ordering deadline with no successor vehicle identified in the source.

The vehicle contracted civil reserve air fleet air transportation services exclusively. Awarded task orders show firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from under $10,000 to approximately $2.3 million, with most orders in the $300,000–$900,000 range. Two thousand two hundred forty-eight task orders were issued against the vehicle over its two-year ordering window, with ordering momentum peaking in 2017 at 1,205 orders before declining to 735 orders in 2018.

The combined potential value of all task orders reached $2.62 billion, though obligated dollars hit $2.82 billion—108 percent of the stated potential value—indicating either scope growth, pricing adjustments, or re-obligations on awards. Patriot Team dominated prime contractor activity, capturing 1,039 orders worth $1.26 billion in combined potential value. Federal Express Corporation held the second position with 799 orders and $1.16 billion in potential value. These two primes accounted for roughly 80 percent of all orders. National Air Cargo Group, Inc., Miami Air International, Inc., and Delta Air Lines, Inc. followed with smaller order volumes; the remaining seven primes held minimal activity. All orders funded Air Mobility Command directly, with no customer dispersion.

All 2,248 task orders carried no set-aside designation. Individual task orders show completion dates concentrated at September 30, 2018, with several outlier orders extended to September 30, 2024. Pricing was uniformly firm fixed-price, suggesting commodity-like air transportation services with pre-negotiated rates.
