Phillip Surrey

Phillip Surrey serves as a Contracting Officer for U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where he is responsible for managing complex mobility and expeditionary logistics contracts that support global military transportation operations. His portfolio focuses on securing air transportation services critical to the Department of Defense’s strategic mobility mission, ensuring the rapid, reliable movement of personnel and cargo across air, sea, land, and rail domains. Surrey executes full-cycle procurement actions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—primarily for nonscheduled air charter services that enable theater access and sustainment in contingency environments. He maintains established working relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, all of which provide specialized air transport capabilities under time-sensitive, mission-critical conditions. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements and deep operational alignment with USTransCom’s expeditionary logistics requirements, reflecting a preference for proven vendors with proven capabilities in austere and high-tempo environments. Surrey’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on capability, availability, and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance and responsiveness in support of global defense mobility needs. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) and 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation), where he secures specialized aircraft services including cargo charters, medical evacuation flights, and troop transport under flexible, on-demand contracts. His technical expertise centers on aviation logistics, airframe certification compliance, and operational tempo-based scheduling, ensuring that contracted services meet stringent DoD mobility standards.
