Domestic Full-Plane Charters under the Master Solicitation

This contract solicitation, identified as HTC711-07-R-0007, concerns the sourcing of domestic full-plane charter services under a Master Solicitation effective from October 1, 2007, until September 30, 2010. The Department of Defense, through the USTRANSCOM agency at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, seeks to expand its list of eligible air carriers capable of providing short-notice domestic charter services. These carriers must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 121 requirements and be either official members of the Civil Air Reserve Fleet (CRAF) or be designated as technically ineligible for CRAF by the Air Mobility Command (AMC). Additionally, carriers need to be DOD-approved by AMC, meeting specific quality and safety standards to qualify. The solicitation is published quarterly to continue building a pool of both small and large business carriers eligible for these taskings, under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 481211. Interested parties are encouraged to contact designated representatives for details regarding CRAF membership, DOD approval, and small business considerations. The contracting officer, Suzanne M Mudd-Yarber, and the contract specialist, Deborah J Wagener, serve as primary points of contact, facilitating communication through provided email addresses and phone numbers. This structured approach ensures that qualified commercial air carriers are ready and compliant to meet the Department of Defense’s domestic charter transportation needs on short notice.
