About the company
Airborne Aviation Inc., doing business as Airborne Aviation Hawaii, is a woman-owned and minority-owned small business that provides helicopter flight services to the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor exclusively; the vendor operates no subcontract footprint and competes under Total Small Business set-asides on its core IDIQ and predominantly full-and-open on task orders issued against that IDIQ.
Airborne Aviation Hawaii is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Kilauea, Hawaii, classified under NAICS 488210 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) and PSC code R499 (Passenger Air Charter). The company's federal footprint centers entirely on a $9 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded by the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center on March 1, 2022, through February 28, 2027, set aside as Total Small Business. Under this IDIQ, Airborne Aviation delivers on-call helicopter flight services supporting hydrologic gaging station maintenance, aerial surveys, equipment transportation, post-fire rehabilitation operations, and scientific research across the Hawaiian islands—with primary performance locations in Aiea, Lihue, Honolulu, Anahola, and Mililani. Task orders are priced as fixed-price with economic price adjustment or firm fixed-price, with delivery orders ranging from under $2,000 to $37,750 in recent activity.
Customer concentration is tight: the Department of the Interior accounts for 100% of awards, split across the Interior Business Center (3 awards, $47.2 million combined potential value representing the core IDIQ and related administrative work), the USGS Pacific Islands Water Science Center (10 awards, $127 thousand), USGS Alaska Science Center (3 awards, $31 thousand), Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (3 awards, $20 thousand), and USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants (2 awards, $9 thousand). The portfolio's potential value is heavily anchored by the $9 million IDIQ ceiling; actual obligated dollars across all awards total $204 thousand as of the source date. The vendor places task orders against two parent vehicles: the primary $9 million Hawaii Helicopter On-Call IDIQ (14 task orders, $153 thousand combined potential value) and the now-completed DOI Alaska On Call Helicopter Flight Services 2017-2021 contract (9 task orders, $51 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $37,750 USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory delivery order for observatory operations support (April 29, 2026), a $30,025 USGS Pacific Islands Water Science Center order for hydrologic research support (December 1, 2025), and a $15,695 Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 order for helicopter services at the Hawaii-Oahu National Wildlife Refuge Complex Mililani Mauka barracks (May 7, 2025).
Activity has remained moderate and flat—ranging from two awards in 2023 to four in 2025, with three awards in 2026 to date. Only two awards (combined potential value $3 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, leaving the majority of the IDIQ runway intact through February 2027. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontract relationships, limiting its utility as a sub-tier partner in other federal programs.
