About the company
Lynden Air Cargo, LLC, a subsidiary of Lynden Inc. headquartered in SeaTac, Washington, is a prime contractor providing Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) air transportation, international and domestic air cargo services, and heavyweight door-to-door delivery for the Department of Defense across full-and-open competition with no set-aside utilization. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint (513 awards across recent federal activity) with no subcontract exposure, competing exclusively on commercial air cargo and passenger airlift capabilities rather than small-business set-asides.
Lynden Air Cargo's customer concentration is tightly anchored to Air Mobility Command operations. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command accounts for 280 awards carrying $3.86 billion in combined potential value — representing 93% of all awards by count and 87% of total potential value across the portfolio. The next-largest customer by potential value is Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support with a single $254.4 million indefinite-delivery contract awarded July 1, 2026, for time-definite international commercial air cargo transportation of medical freight weighing over 300 pounds to destinations outside the Continental United States, requiring CRAF participation and FAA certification. Department of Defense United States Transportation Command (69 awards, $141.7 million) and Air Combat Command (2 awards, $12.7 million) round out the top four. This concentration reflects Lynden's positioning as a specialty carrier for military airlift augmentation rather than a diversified logistics provider.
Lynden Air Cargo's prime vehicle portfolio splits across four major IDIQs with Air Mobility Command: the $1,503,341,617.56 Global Heavyweight Services (GHS) multiple-award contract (awarded December 21, 2022, through September 30, 2032) for worldwide commercial door-to-door delivery of domestic shipments exceeding 150 pounds and international shipments exceeding 300 pounds on a less-than-planeload basis, with 29 task orders totaling $2.5 million in combined potential value; the $18 million International Charter Airlift Services in support of CRAF contract (awarded October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2030) for civil reserve air fleet air transportation, with multiple delivery orders supporting operations in Hawaii, Saudi Arabia, and other strategic regions; the $1,500 Domestic Charter and CRAF air transportation services contract (awarded April 1, 2024, through September 30, 2028) with four delivery orders totaling approximately $16.2 million; and the newly awarded $254.4 million Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support medical freight transportation vehicle (awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031). The company's four highest-volume task-order vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contracts HTC71107D0028 (45 task orders, $116.7 million), FA442806D0013 (38 task orders, $66.1 million), HTC71108D5006 (34 task orders, $95.2 million), and HTC71109D5022 (35 task orders, $29.5 million).
Recent contract work is representative of the embedded scope: the $7,804,280.50 National Weather Service heavy fixed-wing airlift services contract awarded August 1, 2026, through Air Combat Command, delivering cargo to radar sites across the Canadian Arctic using contractor-furnished aircraft; multiple $300,000–$400,000 Civil Reserve Air Fleet delivery orders from Air Mobility Command in October 2025 for transportation services in Hawaii; and numerous monthly Global Heavyweight Services delivery orders to the Office of the Secretary of Defense ranging from $902 to $961,143 for international and domestic heavyweight shipments across locations including Angola, Australia, Bahrain, Japan, and the Philippines. The company also held a $1.5 million minimum-guarantee delivery order under GHS for cargo transportation support at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Anchorage, running February 1 through September 30, 2023.
Activity has accelerated materially in the past two years — four awards in 2022 and 2023 respectively, climbing to 23 in 2024 and 12 in 2025. The $4.45 billion combined potential value across 513 awards reflects a recompete-heavy portfolio concentrated in civil reserve air fleet and heavyweight logistics vehicles running through September 2032, creating sustained opportunity for task-order pursuit but also concentration risk around AMC contract renewals. The vendor's $897.6 million in combined dollars obligated (20% utilization of potential value) signals active program execution.
