About the company
Kalitta Charters, LLC, doing business as Kallita Medflight, is a small-business prime contractor providing medical air charter and inmate transportation services to the federal government, headquartered in Ypsilanti, Michigan as a subsidiary of Kalitta Air LLC, a U.S. certificated all-cargo carrier. The vendor operates as a limited liability company sole proprietorship competing predominantly under small-business set-asides (Total Small Business designations appear across roughly one-third of recent awards) and full-and-open competition on GSA schedules and agency blanket purchase agreements.
Kalitta Charters delivers discrete medical air ambulance flights, inmate medical transfers, emergency medical evacuations, and scheduled personnel and inmate transportation between federal facilities. Recent representative work includes a $8.9 million total small business definitive contract awarded by Air Mobility Command on February 1, 2024, for dignified transfer of deceased service members and escorts from Dover Air Force Base with continental U.S., Alaska, Canadian, and Caribbean coverage through September 2026; a $42 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Mobility Command for air ambulance services for active duty and retired military personnel and dependents across CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories, running through September 30, 2027; and recurring facility-specific purchase orders and delivery orders from the Bureau of Prisons for inmate medical charters and transportation, each typically valued between $11,700 and $86,300.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense air mobility. Air Mobility Command accounts for 79 awards and $876.1 million in combined potential value—over 81% of the vendor's total portfolio dollar magnitude. The Department of Defense United States Transportation Command places 10 awards worth $186.2 million. The top five customers by award count (Air Mobility Command, Bureau of Prisons facilities at Victorville, Milan, Allenwood, and Tucson) account for 44% of awards but only a fraction of dollars, signaling that Bureau of Prisons work consists of numerous small discrete medical flights while Air Mobility Command work anchors the largest contract vehicles. The vendor serves 69 distinct federal customer agencies across both civilian and defense missions.
Kalitta Charters holds positions on multiple parent vehicles: a $42 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (HTC71112AR005) with 39 task orders and $4.3 million combined potential value; a Bureau of Prisons Blanket Purchase Agreement (DJBP0700BPA13008) with 95 task orders and $2.4 million combined potential value; the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 47 task orders and $6.5 million combined potential value; and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HTC71109A0002) with 13 task orders and $2 million combined potential value.
Activity has accelerated materially in the past three years. Awards per year rose from 6 in 2022 to 33 in 2024, declining to 8 in 2025 and recovering to 22 in 2026 as of September. The vendor has no subcontract footprint—all 340 recent awards are prime contractor work. The parent company, Kalitta Air LLC, holds three major indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with Air Mobility Command and the Office of the Secretary of Defense valued at approximately $2.68 billion in aggregate potential value for civil reserve air fleet services, domestic and international charter air transportation, and global heavyweight cargo services, providing operational and fleet infrastructure that Kalitta Charters leverages for federal medical and personnel airlift missions. Primary NAICS coding centers on Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (273 awards) and Ambulance Services (20 awards); PSC work is predominantly Passenger Air Charter (138 awards) and Air Passenger transportation (74 awards).
