Golden Eagle Outfitters, Inc.

Golden Eagle Outfitters, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Kotzebue, Alaska, operates a fleet of FAA-certified fixed-wing aircraft to provide on-call aviation services to the Department of the Interior and other federal agencies across Alaska's remote terrain as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards). The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with the bulk of work flowing through Total Small Business delivery orders and blanket purchase agreements on Interior's core IDIQ vehicles.

Golden Eagle Outfitters' capability portfolio centers on fixed-wing charter transportation in regions where conventional access is impractical. Representative work includes a $23,000 National Park Service delivery order for vegetation work at Primus Creek (July 2026), a $45,153 U.S. Geological Survey order for stream gage operations in west-region Alaska (June 2026), a $41,500 NPS order for ethnographic inventory work (July 2026), a $70,835.46 NPS order for wildlife viewing and natural resources interpretation (May 2026), a $39,753 USGS order for stream gage transportation support (April 2026), and an $80,757.94 U.S. Transportation Command purchase order for Arctic Exercise 2025 pioneering aircraft operations on unimproved sea ice floes north of Prudhoe Bay (February 2025). Beyond transportation, the company delivers wildlife monitoring support, environmental research flights, law enforcement patrols, emergency extractions, and cargo logistics for Interior bureaus and other civilian agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Interior components. The National Park Service Alaska Region accounts for 113 awards with $1.8 million combined potential value, and the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center accounts for 42 awards with $1 million combined potential value. However, the combined potential value distribution is dominated by the Interior Business Center's five awards totaling $59.1 million—these are the two large IDIQ vehicles anchoring the vendor's pipeline. The Interior Business Center issued a $20 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract on April 1, 2021 (now expired), and a replacement $18.6 million indefinite delivery contract on April 1, 2026, with a Total Small Business set-aside running through March 31, 2031. The Interior Business Center also awarded a $500,000 blanket purchase agreement on June 15, 2026, for fixed-wing on-call services through September 4, 2029. Golden Eagle Outfitters' two largest parent vehicles carry 89 and 80 task orders respectively under the expired and active Interior IDIQ contracts.

Activity has remained stable—roughly 18–21 awards per year over the past five years, with 19 awards so far in 2026. Only four awards (combined potential value $196,000) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In subcontractor roles, Golden Eagle Outfitters supplies fixed-wing air support to ASRC Consulting & Environmental Services on two Alaska Legacy and Abandoned Wells remediation projects (February 2024 sub awards) and charter flights to Southwest Research Institute supporting Kobuk Valley National Park work (March 2025 and August 2025 sub awards).

NAICS category concentration is extreme: 190 of 195 awards fall under Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (NAICS 481211). The vendor competes exclusively on Interior's small business set-aside vehicles and does not appear in the full-and-open federal contracting base; 90% of awards originate from Interior bureaus and components in Alaska. Golden Eagle Outfitters' footprint is regionally specialized and highly dependent on Interior's Alaska operations funding, with no material defense prime presence, no exposure to civilian agencies outside Interior or NOAA, and negligible sub-award volume.
