Air Wilmington, Inc.

Air Wilmington, Inc., doing business as Modern Aviation, is a for-profit aviation fuel supplier based in Wilmington, North Carolina, that delivers Jet Propulsion Fuel Type A (JP-8) to the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a prime contractor under single-award indefinite delivery contracts competed on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); it holds no subcontract positions and engages no subcontractors in its federal work.

Air Wilmington's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely on aviation fuel procurement for military operations across the Eastern United States and Caribbean region. The company maintains two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Energy supporting the Domestic Into-Plane 2.3 East region program: a predecessor contract (SPE60721D0084, valued at $8.405 million, extended through March 31, 2025) under which it issued thousands of small-value delivery orders, and a substantially expanded successor contract (SPE607-25-R-0201, ceiling $20.716 million, through March 31, 2029) awarded on October 1, 2025. The successor contract covers nineteen geographic service locations spanning Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, Southeast locations, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and portions of Canada. All delivery orders under both vehicles carry fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment provisions to accommodate fuel market fluctuations. Place of performance is exclusively Wilmington, North Carolina.

Recent activity reflects extremely high order volume concentrated in rapid-turnaround fuel deliveries. The source portfolio captures 8,234 awards spanning from July 1982 to April 2026, with 4,437 task orders flowing under the predecessor SPE60721D0084 contract alone (combined potential value $21.6 million) and additional volume under four other IDCs. In 2025, Air Wilmington received 291 awards; in 2026 (through mid-April), it received 496 awards. Individual delivery orders typically range from approximately $455 to $43,146 in ceiling value, with completion dates matching or immediately following award dates, indicating same-day or next-day fuel deliveries. Combined potential value across all recent awards totals $114.5 million against combined obligated dollars of $51.4 million (45% of potential value).

Customer concentration is absolute: DLA Energy accounts for 8,228 of 8,234 awards ($114.5 million combined potential value), representing 100% of identified federal revenue. This concentration—a single contracting agency issuing thousands of small orders—reflects Air Wilmington's role as a specialized regional fuel logistics provider rather than a diversified contractor. The company categorizes under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and PSC 9130 (Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base), with subsidiary classifications in petroleum product wholesale distribution. It operates without SBA set-aside certifications and competes in full-and-open competition across both its primary and secondary IDC vehicles. The business model emphasizes operational efficiency in fuel supply chain management and rapid delivery capability to support defense aviation operations at multiple East Coast and Caribbean locations.
