DEG Enterprises Inc.

DEG Enterprises Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Norfolk, Nebraska, provides airport infrastructure and airfield modernization services to the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor exclusively under total small-business set-asides. The company specializes in the installation and replacement of precision navigational aids, lighting systems, and runway safety equipment at commercial and regional airports across the United States, with 113 prime awards spanning four decades and a combined potential value of $111.9 million.

DEG's customer footprint is concentrated entirely within the Federal Aviation Administration across multiple regions. The top five FAA offices account for 73% of awards by count: the FAA Southwestern Region leads with 14 awards totaling $59.3 million in combined potential value, followed by the FAA Headquarters (11 awards, $12.6 million), the FAA Northwest Mountain Region (14 awards, $5.8 million), the FAA Aeronautical Center (2 awards, $9.1 million), and the FAA Southern Region (3 awards, $7.8 million). The dollar rankings differ materially from award count — the Southwestern Region dominates potential value despite matching the Northwest Mountain Region's award count — a reflection of larger project scopes in that region. Recent representative work includes a $8.7 million firm fixed-price contract with FAA Headquarters to replace and hurricane-harden the Approach Lighting System (ALSF-2) at Runway 26L at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas (completed August 2023); a $899,100 contract with FAA Headquarters for Instrument Landing System (ILS) replacement at Richmond International Airport scheduled for completion December 2026; and two contracts totaling approximately $968,000 to replace Runway Visual Range systems east and west of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (completed June 2024 and September 2024, respectively).

DEG's work sits on a handful of FAA indefinite delivery and blanket purchase agreements, including Indefinite Delivery Contract DTFACN15D00011 (3 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement DTFAEN11A00025 (2 task orders, $4.2 million combined potential value). The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on electrical contracting and other wiring installation (19 awards), heavy and civil engineering construction (18 awards), and commercial building construction (10 awards); PSC coding emphasizes construction of radar and navigational facilities (25 awards) and maintenance of air traffic control towers (6 awards). Recent activity has been sparse — one award per year in 2023, 2024, and 2026 — with only one award carrying completion inside the next twenty-four months ($899 thousand potential value recompete exposure). DEG operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data; the vendor has obligated $40.1 million (36% of combined potential value) across its award portfolio to date.
