About the company
Airways Aviation, Inc., doing business as Airways Aviation Center, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, that performs aircraft maintenance and modification work for the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor operates entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, competing on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations applied across its federal footprint.
Airways Aviation's capability portfolio centers on specialized aircraft modification and maintenance for wildfire operations. The vendor's recent work includes converting DHC-2 Beaver aircraft landing gear from floats to wheels (two separate purchase orders totaling $5,951.76 awarded in September 2026 and September 2025 by the National Interagency Fire Center), float re-painting and winterization services ($13,576.64 purchase order from February 2026), and related airframe structural maintenance. All work is performed in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency: 100% of awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split between the R9-Eastern Region (14 awards, $86 thousand combined potential value) and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (4 awards, $23 thousand combined potential value). Airways Aviation holds a seat on Blanket Purchase Agreement AG63A9B150001, which accounts for 13 task orders and $61 thousand of the vendor's total combined potential value of $109 thousand. The vendor's work falls primarily under NAICS 311811 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC codes for maintenance and repair of equipment, with secondary NAICS 488119 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation).
Recent activity spans 18 total awards since 2015, with $84 thousand obligated (77% of potential value). The vendor received one award in 2025 and three in 2026, reflecting continued but low-volume engagement with NIFC for fleet-maintenance operations on wildland firefighting aircraft.
