About Desert Air Transport Inc.
Desert Air Transport Inc., doing business as A+ Desertair Alaska, provides on-call fixed-wing aircraft services, pilot qualification training, and emergency fire support to federal agencies in Alaska as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards). The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint. Its primary capability areas are nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation (11 awards, NAICS 481211) and FAA-certified pilot training (3 awards, NAICS 611710), with ancillary expertise in fuel logistics and aerial remediation support.
Desert Air Transport's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of the Interior. The Interior Business Center and Bureau of Land Management account for 12 of 16 total awards and 100% of combined potential value ($59.4 million), with the FAA and National Park Service rounding out federal activity. The Interior Business Center dominates by dollar magnitude — three awards (one active IDC and two predecessors) carry $58.6 million in combined potential value, while BLM's Alaska and Idaho regions hold six and three awards respectively totaling $370 thousand. The Federal Aviation Administration places three purchase orders for McDonnell Douglas DC-3TP pilot qualification training (initial and recurrent), worth $144 thousand combined.
Desert Air Transport holds two parent contract vehicles: a $18.6 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded by the Interior Business Center on April 1, 2026, set aside for small businesses and running through March 31, 2031, from which eight task orders have been issued totaling $369 thousand in combined potential value; and a $250 thousand single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the BLM's Alaska Region for fuel and aviation support services extending through June 30, 2030. Prior to the April 2026 award, the company held a $20 million IDC with the Interior Business Center for fixed-wing on-call flight services, which generated most delivery orders visible in the source data through 2024. Recent work includes a $28.5 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from the FAA for DC-3TP recurrent pilot qualification training (awarded April 2, 2026, completion April 1, 2027); an $83.25 thousand FAA order for DC-3TP initial pilot qualification (awarded May 12, 2025, completion November 11, 2026); and a $53.4 thousand BLM delivery order for emergency fire flight operations (awarded July 11, 2025, completion July 13, 2025). Activity has been uneven — one award in 2021, five in 2022, a gap in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 through mid-April. Only two awards face completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $112 thousand. The company subcontracts minimally, appearing as a sub-tier air support resource to ASRC Consulting & Environmental Services on an Arctic Slope Regional Corporation contract for NPRA legacy well remediation work.
