Benedum Airport Authority

Benedum Airport Authority, doing business as North Central West Virginia Airport, supplies aviation turbine fuel (Jet Propellant 8/JAA) to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy as a prime contractor through a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract valued at $4,959,473.91 running through March 2025. The organization is a for-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity based in Bridgeport, West Virginia, registered in SAM.gov since March 2006, competing in full-and-open federal contracting with no set-aside designations.

Benedum Airport Authority's federal footprint is nearly monolithic in focus. Of 6,862 total awards, 6,734 (98% of volume) are delivery orders under the DLA Energy IDV for aviation turbine fuel supply, with a combined potential value of $31.9 million. The remaining awards scatter across leasing arrangements with the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (16 awards, $1.5 million), security-related services for the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration (5 awards, $1.3 million), and Federal Aviation Administration grants for airport infrastructure. The vendor also holds smaller indefinite delivery contracts with GSA (SPE60017D0139: 1,501 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value) and with GSA (SP060013D0065: 2,420 task orders, $7 million combined potential value), though the DLA Energy vehicle dominates the portfolio by far.

Activity has been voluminous but declining. The vendor received 629 awards in 2022, 704 in 2023, and 787 in 2024, then dropped to 580 in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026. This steep recent decline signals a recompete cliff: only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting the bulk of the portfolio's potential value is now at risk of non-renewal or transition. The combined potential value of all awards stands at $45.1 million, but actual obligated dollars total $91.9 million—indicating that the vendor has over-delivered against contract ceilings or that prior-year awards have been fully drawn down and obligated.

Beyond fuel supply, Benedum Airport Authority operates as a recipient of Federal Aviation Administration grants under the Airport Improvement Program and related infrastructure programs (CFDA 20.106, 20.117). Recent grants include $1,299,248.42 (July 21, 2025) for runway lighting reconstruction and $576,074.74 (August 7, 2026) for taxiway reseal and resurfacing at North Central West Virginia Airport, both scheduled for completion in 2029 and 2030 respectively. These grants position the facility as a primary airport serving the Clarksburg, West Virginia region and underscore the organization's dual role as both a federal fuel logistics node and an airport infrastructure developer.

The vendor's federal revenue model is narrowly concentrated on routine delivery-order replenishment of aviation fuel inventory for a single customer. The DLA Energy relationship, while substantial in aggregate dollars and transaction volume, exposes Benedum Airport Authority to customer concentration risk: loss or significant reduction of the IDV would eliminate the vast majority of prime award activity. The vendor has no identified federal subcontract footprint and no teaming relationships in the source data.
