About this award
The Federal Aviation Administration awarded a $15,600 firm fixed-price delivery order to Albuquerque Balloon Center, Inc. (operating as Aerco) on December 16, 2025, for balloon maintenance training services scheduled for January 12-16, 2026, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This delivery order falls under the FAA's Training, Studies, Analyses and Related Services (FAA29307) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle and carries an ultimate completion date of May 19, 2026. The award was made without a small business set-aside designation, despite the contractor's status as a small disadvantaged and veteran-owned business registered in the System for Award Management.
Albuquerque Balloon Center, Inc. is a specialized niche provider focused exclusively on delivering balloon maintenance and operational training to federal agencies, primarily the FAA. The company maintains a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the FAA (most recently awarded May 3, 2024, with a $65,000 ceiling and completion date of May 2029) and has consistently received delivery orders for comprehensive training programs involving classroom instruction and hands-on piloting practice designed to certify FAA personnel on proper balloon maintenance techniques. The FAA previously conducted a market survey of small business providers before selecting Albuquerque Balloon Center as a qualified provider for these specialized aviation safety training services critical to commercial balloon operations oversight.
