Alaska Weather Operation Services Inc.

Alaska Weather Operation Services Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Anchorage, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor providing automated weather observation services and weather station equipment maintenance at airports throughout Alaska for the Federal Aviation Administration. The vendor competes as a small business and holds three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with FAA Franchise Acquisition Services, all designated as total small business set-asides with combined ceiling values exceeding $41 million extending through May 31, 2028. Alaska Weather Operation Services Inc. has been a registered federal contractor since 2001 and specializes exclusively in Contract Weather Observing (CWO) program work under Primary PSC Support-Professional: Weather Reporting/Observation and NAICS All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.

The vendor's entire recent portfolio consists of prime awards — 21 awards totaling $122.3 million in combined potential value, with no subcontract activity. Customer concentration is singular: the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration represents all but one of the vendor's awards, split between FAA Headquarters (8 awards, $71.9 million) and FAA Franchise Acquisition Services (7 awards, $47.9 million), with minimal defense exposure (one Army award, one Air Force award). The two rankings converge on the same customer concentration, indicating that FAA's award volume and dollar value are closely aligned. Recent representative work includes a $1.29 million delivery order under CWO Program Area 11 (Option Year 3) awarded July 7, 2026, with completion through May 31, 2027; a $1.99 million CWO Program Area 9 delivery order awarded July 9, 2025; and a $4.4 million CWO Program Area 11 delivery order awarded July 10, 2025.

The vendor operates under three FAA IDIQs: CWO Program Area 9 (single-award, $9.6 million ceiling, May 31, 2028); CWO Program Area 11 (single-award, $16.3 million ceiling, May 31, 2028); and a prior CWO Program Area 11 vehicle ($15.1 million ceiling, May 31, 2023). Task orders flowing against these IDIQs numbered approximately 4, 4, and 1 respectively in the source window. Activity has remained modest and flat — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only $2.1 million in combined potential value facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. Obligated dollars across all awards total $63.3 million, representing 52% of combined potential value, indicating mature execution on a stable customer relationship. The vendor's focused positioning on FAA weather observation infrastructure in Alaska creates high customer concentration and limited product diversification outside the narrow CWO scope.
