About Kalitta Charters, LLC
Kalitta Charters, LLC, doing business as Kallita Medflight, operates as a small business prime contractor delivering medical air charter and inmate transportation services to federal correctional facilities and the Department of Defense, with 100% of its 336 awards in the past five years issued as prime contracts under GSA schedules and agency-specific Blanket Purchase Agreements. The company is a subsidiary of Kalitta Air LLC, a U.S. certificated all-cargo carrier headquartered in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and competes full-and-open on most task orders, though recurring Total Small Business set-aside designations appear across Bureau of Prisons awards.
Kalitta Medflight's customer concentration is severely skewed toward the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, which accounts for 79 awards carrying $876.1 million in combined potential value — 82% of the vendor's entire portfolio. The remaining 17% of customer-side dollar value derives from Department of Defense United States Transportation Command (10 awards, $186.2 million combined potential value) and dispersed Bureau of Prisons facilities, led by Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (25 awards, $930 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Milan (19 awards, $208 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (16 awards, $332 thousand). The two customer-ranking dimensions align closely, signaling that Air Mobility Command both places the most individual task orders and anchors the largest dollar volume. Recent activity has accelerated sharply — six awards in 2022 to 33 in 2024 — before moderating to 18 awards through July 2026. Only one award is scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
Work performed spans medical air ambulance services for active duty and retired military personnel under a $42 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Mobility Command (ultimate completion September 30, 2027), dignified transfer of remains transportation under an $8.9 million definitive contract with Air Mobility Command (extending through September 30, 2028, under Total Small Business set-aside), and discrete medical flight and inmate transportation task orders from individual Bureau of Prisons facilities typically valued between $11,700 and $86,300. Representative Bureau of Prisons orders include a $36,500 delivery order from United States Penitentiary Canaan on July 16, 2026 for medical air transfer of two inmates, a $26,500 delivery order from Federal Correctional Institution Elkton on July 1, 2026 for medical flight services, and a $46,420 delivery order from Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on October 2, 2024 for medical transfers. The vendor places work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (46 task orders, $6.4 million combined potential value), Bureau of Prisons Blanket Purchase Agreements including DJBP0700BPA13008 (95 task orders, $2.4 million), and Department of Defense indefinite delivery vehicles HTC71112AR005 (39 task orders, $4.3 million), HTC71109A0002 (13 task orders, $2 million), and HTC71117AR005 (7 task orders, $1.6 million). Kalitta Medflight's NAICS footprint is concentrated in 481200 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation — 271 awards), with subordinate work in 621910 (Ambulance Services — 19 awards), 481100 (Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation — 10 awards), and 481300 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation — 10 awards). The company has not secured sub-awards in recent years and does not operate as a subcontractor; all 336 awards are delivered as prime. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.07 billion, with $133.2 million obligated to date, reflecting a portfolio weighted toward large Air Mobility Command indefinite vehicles and smaller, frequent Bureau of Prisons task orders.
