USTRANSCOM Domestic Chartered Airlift Services

The USTRANSCOM Domestic Chartered Airlift Services Master IDIQ contract provides comprehensive domestic air transportation services primarily for U.S. military and government agencies. Established through a Total Small Business set-aside solicitation, the contract enables charter passenger and cargo airlift using Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 135 fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The vehicle supports a wide range of mission-critical transportation requirements, including ad hoc and recurring airlift needs, military personnel movements, special assignment missions, emergency relief efforts, training movements, and contingency operations within the Continental United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and U.S. Territories.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to over $27 million, with performance periods typically spanning several months to a year. Frequent prime contractors include Phoenix Air Group, Berry Aviation, CSI Aviation, Kalitta Charters, and Corporate Flight Management, with the majority of orders originating from the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, Department of Navy, and other defense agencies. The contract vehicle does not consistently apply small business set-asides, with most recent orders having no specific set-aside designation. Common performance locations include military installations and naval air stations across the United States, with frequent routes connecting locations in Florida, California, Virginia, Rhode Island, and other states, as well as select international destinations like Canada and Cuba.
