Air & Space Forces Association

Air & Space Forces Association, doing business as Air Force Association, is a non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia that operates as a 100% prime contractor delivering leadership development training, professional development workshops, research and analysis services, and exhibit booth rental for Air Force and Department of Defense events. The organization holds no set-aside designations and competes on a full-and-open basis across all federal work.

Air & Space Forces Association's recent award portfolio centers heavily on two distinct service lines: event logistics (booth rental and conference exhibit space) and specialized defense-focused research and training. The top customer by award count, Air Education and Training Command, accounts for 15 awards valued at $443 thousand combined potential value, almost entirely for exhibit booth space at Air Force conferences and symposia—the 2025 AFA Warfare Symposium booth rental ($33,200), the Air University AFA booth exhibit ($62,200), and multiple annual booth spaces at AETC events across 2022–2026. By potential dollars, the ranking inverts sharply: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors $4 million in combined potential value through a single Multiple Award Schedule vehicle, delivering analytical services in national security and defense strategy. The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded $1.6 million for a COVID-19 after-action report (delivery order, firm fixed-price, performance in Washington DC, completion December 2026), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has placed two awards totaling $828 thousand. Air Force, Air Forces Europe and Africa, Pacific Air Forces, and the Air National Guard round out active customers, with most awards under $250 thousand.

On the training side, recent work includes a $75,950 purchase order from Pacific Air Forces (February 2026) to deliver the "Lead Develop Care: Proactive Leadership for Competitive Advantage" workshop at Kunsan and Osan Air Bases in South Korea, and a $24,427 delivery order from Air Force Space Command for instructor-led professional development workshop delivery (May 2025). The Air National Guard awarded a $247 thousand definitive contract for a data-driven analytical report recommending courses of action to support Total Force strength. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency placed a $25 thousand purchase order for Cyber Patriot Competition sponsorship (March 2024, completed March 2025).

Air & Space Forces Association holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract valued up to $4 million with 22 active labor categories spanning research assistants ($67.24/hr, bachelor's degree) through senior subject matter experts and principal program directors ($350.76/hr, master's degree and 20 years experience). No security-cleared labor roles are offered. The organization's analytical labor rates cluster in the $140–$350 range for subject matter expert and director-level roles, supporting its positioning as a policy research and defense strategy advisory vendor.

Activity has been modest and variable—two awards in 2022 rising to six in 2024, then declining to three each in 2025 and 2026 year-to-date. One award (the OSA delivery order) is scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months with $1.6 million in combined potential value, presenting recompete opportunity. The combined potential value across all 36 prime awards stands at $8.2 million, with $4.1 million obligated to date. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; no subcontract activity appears in the source. Award categorization reflects the dual portfolio: 14 awards fall under Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (booth rental), 6 under Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, and 5 under Civic and Social Organizations. The PSC coding mirrors this split, with 17 awards coded to Lease/Rental of Conference Space and Facilities and 3 to Purchase of Conference Space and Facilities.
