Airline Passenger Transportation Services

The 962-M8 multi-award vehicle provides airline passenger transportation services to Texas state and local government entities. This indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) encompasses both scheduled and unscheduled commercial airline travel options, including helicopter services and commercial airplane transportation. The vehicle is designed to streamline procurement processes for governmental organizations requiring air transportation services, offering a pre-negotiated contracting mechanism that addresses diverse mobility requirements across the state.

The 962-M8 vehicle is managed by CPA Contract Management and covers the state of Texas. Three prime contractors have been awarded under this term-based contract: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines Inc., and Southwest Airlines Co. All three awards were established on September 1, 2020, with a completion date of August 31, 2025, representing a five-year performance period. The vehicle is classified under UNSPSC code 78111501 (helicopter services) and NIGP code 96288 (non-local travel services provided by third-party carriers).

Under the 962-M8 vehicle, three separate IDV awards were made to major commercial carriers. The awards to American Airlines (962-M8 (American Airlines)), Delta Air Lines Inc. (962-M8 (Delta Air Lines Inc.)), and Southwest Airlines Co. (962-M8 (Southwest Airlines Co.)) each provide independent contracting pathways for airline passenger transportation services. All three awards share identical performance periods from September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2025, and operate under term-based contract structures. While individual contract values were not disclosed in the available documentation, the multiple-carrier approach provides Texas government entities with competitive options and operational flexibility in meeting their air transportation needs.
