Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc.

Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc., doing business as Dynamic Air, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Bridgewater, Virginia that delivers specialized aviation services to the federal government as a prime contractor on 97% of its awards, operating modified fixed-wing aircraft for aerial dispersal, atmospheric data collection, firefighting support, and airborne science missions across civilian and defense agencies. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, without set-aside designations on most of its prime footprint, though it holds at least two Total Small Business set-aside IDIQs with the National Interagency Fire Center and a Navy SeaPort-NXG unrestricted multiple-award vehicle.

Dynamic Aviation's capability portfolio centers on mission-critical aircraft operations and sensor-equipped airborne platforms. Representative work includes a $44.1 million definitive contract from USDA Plant Protection and Quarantine (awarded June 2026) for New World Screwworm aviation support services in San Fernando, California; a $15.999 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from USDA APHIS for aerial Medfly dispersal in the Los Angeles Basin through July 2027, with recent task orders totaling approximately $7 million; a $13.5 million indefinite-delivery contract with NASA Ames Research Center (awarded January 2025) for King Air B-200 and A-90 aircraft supporting airborne science missions including LIDAR, hyperspectral, and thermal data collection; a $50 million single-award Total Small Business IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center for National Smokejumper Aircraft Services through December 2034; and a $3.996 million definitive contract from the Army's Engineer Research and Development Center (awarded August 2025) for multispectral airborne imaging in cold environments. The vendor also holds a $4 billion Navy SeaPort-NXG multiple-award IDIQ (awarded January 2025) with a minimum-guarantee delivery order and operates under a $66 million National Interagency Fire Center multiple-award IDC for national light fixed-wing services.

Customer concentration is pronounced and fragmented across three agency clusters. USDA dominates award volume with 111 total awards across three sub-agencies (Wildlife Services: 44 awards, $51 million combined potential value; Plant Protection and Quarantine: 42 awards, $137.8 million; APHIS: 25 awards, $31.6 million), representing 55% of all awards. By combined potential value, however, the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio with four awards ($9.28 billion combined potential value) — almost entirely the $4 billion SeaPort-NXG IDIQ ceiling. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region ranks third by both metrics (42 awards, $77.7 million). The National Interagency Fire Center supplies 12 awards ($151 million combined potential value). These five customer clusters account for 98% of combined potential dollars and roughly 55% of award count, indicating a customer base weighted heavily toward pest-management and firefighting aviation missions within USDA and interior agencies, with substantial leverage from a single large Navy vehicle.

Recent activity shows growth from 2023 lows, with 11 to 19 awards per fiscal year over 2024–2025. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $66.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The recompete cliff is most acute among USDA APHIS Medfly and sterile-insect-release contracts and National Interagency Fire Center aerial tanker and smokejumper delivery orders.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (prime records), Dynamic Aviation invoiced $14.3 million over FY2022–FY2025, with activity concentrated in FY2022 ($7.6 million) and FY2024 ($6.7 million); FY2023 and FY2025 showed zero SCI invoicing. The SCI dataset reports 141 FTEs in FY2022 and 83.9 FTEs in FY2024, declining to 1.7 FTEs in FY2025 — suggesting SCI captures only a small fraction of the vendor's federal aviation work, with most deliverables structured as equipment leases, aircraft operations, or goods rather than reportable service labor. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates show wide variation, from a 10th percentile of approximately $43,089 per hour to a median of approximately $137,137 per hour and a 90th percentile of approximately $310,263 per hour — reflecting the mix of pilot labor, aircraft operations, and specialized sensor personnel. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 2% of total contractor hours, with one named subcontractor reported, indicating Dynamic Aviation delivers most work through its own team rather than building value via subcontract engagement.

In its subcontractor role, Dynamic Aviation supports Dewberry Engineers on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gravity data collection and shoreline mapping missions (aircraft and pilot services), George Mason University on the Mobile Unmanned/Manned Distributed Lethality Airborne Network (MUDLAN) accelerated development programs, Leidos on a Wide Area Surveillance Sensor lease renewal, and Yulista Solutions on Chesapeake Bay atmospheric and greenhouse-gas measurement flights. This sub footprint reflects demand for Dynamic Aviation's specialized aircraft platforms and airborne sensor integration capabilities among systems integrators and research universities rather than a feeder relationship to large defense primes.
