Services performed will include fixed-wing flight line and back shop maintenance for the 89th Airlift Wing aircraft, as well as back shop support services to the 811th Operations Group rotary-wing aircraft.

The competitively-awarded, firm-fixed-price contract has a base year plus four option years and an additional six-month option period, valued at $203.1 million if all options are exercised. The period of performance is September 1, 2018 through February 29, 2024.

“Maintaining the aircraft that transport our nation’s leaders is a tremendous responsibility,” said Joe Ford, DynAviation president. “We are honored to have earned the trust and confidence of the United States Air Force in this exceptionally important mission and look forward to continuing our legacy of superior service on this contract.”

DI was the first contractor awarded this contract, back in 2001.

The 89th Airlift Wing of the United States Air Force provides airlift, logistics, aerial port and communications for the US President, Vice President, Combat Commanders, senior leaders and the global mobility system. It flies an array of VVIP aircraft, such as the VC-35 "Air Force One", and C-32, C-40, C-20 and C-37 aircraft.
