About the company
Bessemer Airport Authority Division, a U.S. local government entity and FAA-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise based in Bessemer, Alabama, operates as a prime recipient of federal contracts and grants. The organization serves exclusively in two federal transactional roles: hangar and office rental services to law enforcement agencies under purchase orders, and airport infrastructure grant recipient under Federal Aviation Administration programs.
Bessemer Airport Authority's customer base is heavily concentrated. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 18 awards (95% of recent contract volume) with combined potential value of $148 thousand, all low-dollar annual purchase orders for hangar and office space rental at Bessemer Airport supporting DEA aircraft maintenance and storage. The Drug Enforcement Administration has maintained this relationship continuously since 2020, with annual purchase orders ranging from $7,400 to $18,775. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region and the Federal Aviation Administration hold 12 and 8 awards respectively, representing the organization's federal grant footprint for airport infrastructure improvement.
Bessemer Airport Authority operates exclusively as a prime — no subcontract work appears in the source. Recent activity has grown modestly: one award per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, rising to three awards each in 2025 and 2026. However, the "combined potential value" figure of $150 thousand sits in stark tension with combined dollars obligated of $12.8 million — a discrepancy indicating that the source's potential-value ceiling captures only the small annual DEA hangar rental contracts, while obligated dollars reflect the full value of multi-year FAA infrastructure grants that carry performance periods through 2029 and 2030.
Grant work dominates recent awards by dollar magnitude. Between July 2025 and August 2026, Bessemer Airport Authority received FAA Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and Airport Infrastructure Grants (CFDA 20.117) totaling approximately $3.95 million in combined potential value to fund design, apron rehabilitation (36,700 square yards of west apron pavement), taxiway expansion (18-foot width increases to existing connector taxiways), and taxilane reconstruction (2,000 linear feet of hangar-area taxilane pavement reaching end-of-life). Performance periods run through 2029 and 2030. Earlier FAA grants include a $59 thousand American Rescue Plan Act grant for COVID-19 pandemic economic relief (operations, personnel, cleaning, and debt service) and a $2.2 million taxiway lighting and pavement rehabilitation project. All awards were made on a non-set-aside, full-and-open basis.
