NAICS 481112 covers Scheduled Freight Air Transportation, which encompasses specialized air cargo and transportation services. This category includes commercial air carriers and logistics providers that offer scheduled freight delivery services both domestically and internationally. The services involve transporting various types of cargo, ranging from standard packages to specialized shipments like oversized equipment, scientific specimens, and sensitive diplomatic materials. The transportation typically involves fixed-wing aircraft and encompasses door-to-door delivery of cargo for government and commercial clients.

The federal contract awards in this NAICS category predominantly feature large air carriers like United Parcel Service, Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and American Airlines executing delivery orders under the Global Heavyweight Services (GHS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. These awards range from approximately $1,500 to over $5 million, with performance periods typically spanning one month to one year. The primary funding agencies are the Department of Defense, specifically the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Air Mobility Command, with most contracts being firm fixed-price and having no specific small business set-aside. Performance locations are predominantly international, including Japan, Germany, Bahrain, and various locations in the United States.

The federal contract opportunities within this NAICS category include specialized transportation services with precise requirements. One opportunity involves the U.S. Embassy in Brazzaville seeking a contractor to transport diplomatic pouches from the Republic of the Congo to Washington Dulles airport, with specific constraints on transit time and handling. Another opportunity from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research solicits transportation services for 18 Indian-origin rhesus macaques from the United States to Bangkok, Thailand, requiring complex logistics including serology testing, vaccinations, and compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks. Both opportunities emphasize precise technical specifications and regulatory compliance in international cargo transportation.
