About the company
Grand Aire Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and minority-owned Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Swanton, Ohio, operates as a federal prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering specialized air charter services and aviation fuel logistics to civilian federal agencies. The company holds dual SBA certifications as both a VOSB and SDVOSB, valid through April 25, 2028.
Grand Aire's federal footprint splits into two distinct capability streams, each anchored to a different customer and vehicle. The primary business—representing 84% of awards by count—consists of recurring aviation turbine fuel delivery orders placed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy under a $2.2 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract running through November 30, 2028. That parent vehicle covers ground fuel support across a fourteen-state region for multiple fuel types including jet fuel, diesel, gasoline, biodiesel, and ethanol. The majority of those 248 fuel delivery orders fall below $50 thousand in individual value and carry fixed-price structures with economic price adjustment clauses, reflecting commodity-like procurement patterns. The second, smaller capability stream—16% of awards—supplies specialized air charter services for inmate and medical patient transport to the Bureau of Prisons and federal correctional institutions under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule. Representative air charter awards include a $96,400 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana in November 2025 for multi-leg inmate medical flight transfer, a $76,702 purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan in September 2025 for a multi-facility SOAP flight operation, and a $63,990 delivery order from Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont in December 2025 for medical flight services. Air charter work also includes a $325,580 delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center in July 2022 for large-jet firefighting personnel transport to Alaska, an outlier in scale that demonstrates occasional capacity for specialty aviation missions outside the correctional system.
Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Energy accounts for 248 awards (85% of the portfolio) and $4 million in combined potential value—a 37% share of Grand Aire's total $10.7 million ceiling value across all awards. The next tier of customers, all within the Bureau of Prisons system, collectively represent the remaining 15% of awards and are highly fragmented across individual facility locations: Federal Correctional Complex Tucson (6 awards, $300 thousand), Federal Medical Center Devens (4 awards, $142 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (4 awards, $102 thousand), Federal Detention Center Philadelphia (3 awards, $100 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana (3 awards, $157 thousand). The vendor works with 27 distinct agencies in total, but meaningful concentration exists only at DLA Energy; the Bureau of Prisons work spreads across dozens of individual facility purchase requests with no administrative consolidation.
Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor recorded one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and then 25 in 2025—growth driven primarily by recurring fuel calls under the DLA IDC established in July 2025. Through October 2026, Grand Aire has logged 20 awards year-to-date, tracking toward 30 to 40 awards for the full year if the DLA call-down rate continues. Of the total 293 awards in the portfolio, 45 (combined potential value $1.9 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twelve months, creating recompete exposure primarily in the form of new DLA Energy fuel delivery orders that operate on short completion windows (typically one to three weeks from award to finish). The DLA parent IDC itself expires November 30, 2028, representing the single largest recompete trigger in the vendor's near-term pipeline.
Grand Aire operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint. The vendor's SBA certifications and recent awards under both Total Small Business and SDVOSB-only set-asides (particularly on the DLA contract and selected Bureau of Prisons orders) indicate deliberate positioning within the small-business federal market. However, the majority of Bureau of Prisons air charter work carries no set-aside designation, suggesting Grand Aire competes on the GSA MAS against other pre-qualified vendors in both full-and-open and small-business set-aside competitions. NAICS category concentration reflects the dual business model: 248 awards are classified under NAICS 3241 (Petroleum Refineries), driven entirely by the fuel delivery stream, while 37 awards fall under NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Air Transportation) and related air charter codes. The fuel logistics work dominates by count but generates lower individual order values; air charter work commands higher per-order ceilings and represents the higher-skill, higher-margin capability relative to commodity fuel distribution.
Grand Aire operates as a subsidiary of Grand Aire Express, Inc., the parent company referenced in multiple award summaries as also holding federal contracts and SDVOSB certification.
