About this agency
The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Aeronautical Center is a civilian sub-agency within the FAA that procures maintenance, repair, operations, and support services for the FAA's Kansas City-based aeronautical facilities and navigation systems. The Aeronautical Center awards contracts predominantly to small vendors through open competition, with limited set-aside activity.
The Aeronautical Center has issued 14,172 federal contract awards since 2001, with a combined potential value of $39.91 billion and $3.78 billion in combined dollars obligated to date. Recent award cadence has declined sharply: the Center issued 33 awards in 2022, falling to 9 in 2023, 19 in 2024, 18 in 2025, and 6 so far in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-09-22. Across the portfolio history, 1,757 distinct prime contractors have been awarded.
Competition is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count — CD & T Logistics Inc. (7 awards), O.c.e.m. Acquisition Corp. (6 awards), Cowboy Electrical Services Inc. (5 awards), Cornerstone Construction Services, LLC (5 awards), and Puyenpa Construction, LLC (4 awards) — account for 29 percent of recent awards. By potential value, Cowboy Electrical Services Inc. leads with $2.4 million across 5 awards, followed by Uavionix Corp. at $1.5 million. No single vendor commands significant market share; the long tail of small regional contractors comprises the bulk of the portfolio.
The overwhelming majority of awards carry no set-aside designation: 13,248 awards (93 percent) are open competition. Small-business awards total 828 (6 percent), distributed across Total Small Business, Competitive 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and smaller categories. This structure reflects the Center's procurement pattern of spreading work across many small, geographically dispersed maintenance and operational support vendors rather than consolidating spending among major primes.
No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source. Given the sharp decline in award volume from 2022 through 2026 and the absence of open solicitations in the current portfolio data, the Center's contracting activity is not currently active or is being executed through closed or non-standard procurement channels not reflected in recent federal solicitation records.
