The U.S. Air Force has awarded Vertex Aerospace a firm‐fixed‐price contract valued at $299.9 million to provide C‐12 Huron military fleet logistics and support services. The Department of Defense said Thursday that the indefinite‐delivery/indefinite‐quantity contract has an end date of Dec. 31, 2025.
Air Force Selects Vertex Aerospace
Work on the personnel and cargo lift aircraft will be delivered to three military sites across the United States and 17 international locations, including Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Honduras, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Norway.
The IDIQ was awarded following a competitive acquisition process, with three offers received, according to the DOD. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, which serves as the contracting activity, issued a request for information on companies that can provide the required services in March.
According to the notice, the USAF may add other aircraft and locations into the program in the future.
Vertex Aerospace’s Continued Partnership With US Military
The Madison, Mississippi-headquartered engineering company also won a contract to provide logistics services to the Air Force’s fleet of C-12 in December 2023. The award, valued at approximately $300 million, supported the Air Force Materiel Command, Pacific Air Forces, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
