Capital Region Airport Commission

Capital Region Airport Commission, a local government airport authority headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, operates as the prime recipient of federal infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related funding streams, with no federal contracting prime or subcontracting presence. The Commission's federal award portfolio spans 301 total awards over two decades, with recent activity concentrated in FAA airport infrastructure modernization grants and real estate leasing arrangements brokered through GSA Basic Ordering Agreements.

The Commission's current capability footprint is dominated by airport infrastructure development and terminal modernization. Recent representative grants include a $15.7 million FAA Airport Improvement Program award (June 2025) to reconfigure taxiways C and E at Richmond International Airport to meet FAA design standards, a $4.44 million award (August 2025) for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting building reconstruction, a $3.2 million award (July 2026) to update the existing airport master plan under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), and a $2.37 million award (June 2023) to fund Phase 1 preliminary design for terminal expansion (59,000 square feet including security screening checkpoint modifications). Earlier work includes a $6.17 million FAA grant (September 2023) to shift Taxiway E and a $4.21 million grant (September 2023) to replace six aging passenger boarding bridges. The Commission also received a $1.88 million grant (January 2022) under the American Rescue Plan Act to provide economic relief to airport concessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the contracting side, the Commission holds three active GSA Schedule Basic Ordering Agreements — GS03B03334 (93 task orders, $20.6 million combined potential value), GS03B03345 (78 task orders, $85.6 million combined potential value), and GS03B04356 (60 task orders, $37.1 million combined potential value) — primarily supporting real estate leasing and facilities operations for federal agencies. The Commission also delivers architectural and engineering services; a $181 thousand definitive contract was awarded August 2026 for Richmond Hangar Suite 206 architectural and engineering services, with ultimate completion December 2026.

Customer concentration reflects the Commission's dual role as an FAA grant recipient and federal real estate lessor. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing dominates the award count and dollar volume (47 awards, $50.2 million combined potential value across all three BOAs), while the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region accounts for 24 awards ($4.9 million combined potential value) driven by infrastructure grants. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration (9 awards, $8.3 million combined potential value), the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (11 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value), and the FBI Academy round out the top five customers. The top three BOAs account for 231 task orders and $143.3 million in combined potential value. Activity has remained modest in recent years (three awards in 2026, five in 2025 and 2023), with minimal recompete exposure — only one award ($181 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months. The category concentration reflects NAICS 4852 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings except Miniwarehouses) across 235 awards, with supporting specialty trade contracting and architectural/engineering work.
