Guardian Flight LLC

Guardian Flight LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in South Jordan, Utah, operates as a prime contractor providing air ambulance services and aviation facility rental to federal agencies, competing full-and-open with no SBA certifications or set-aside designations.

Guardian Flight's federal footprint centers on two concrete capability areas grounded in recent award activity. Air ambulance services dominate the portfolio — the vendor holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (36C26124D0040) from Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 valued at $35.2 million with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2029, from which three delivery orders have been issued totaling $6.5 million in combined potential value. The most recent delivery order, awarded October 1, 2026, is valued at $1.7 million for air ambulance services performed in Honolulu, Hawaii, with completion by March 31, 2027. Earlier delivery orders under the same IDIQ (April 1, 2026, and October 1, 2024) carried values of $1.7 million and $3.1 million respectively, supporting VAPIHCS (VA Pacific Islands Health Care System) operations across Hawaii, American Samoa, and Guam. The second capability line is hangar rental and aviation facility operations. Guardian Flight provides hangar rental services to the U.S. Coast Guard at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, supporting MH-65 aircraft maintenance during Bering Sea patrol missions — two purchase orders (October 1, 2022, and April 1, 2024) carried values of $128,640 and $127,342 respectively.

Customer concentration is acute. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 accounts for all but $585 thousand of the vendor's combined potential value across four awards ($41.8 million of $42.3 million total). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard represents the second active customer with five awards ($461 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc appears as a single small award ($124 thousand). Guardian Flight operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint reported across its portfolio. The vendor's award activity shows episodic growth — one award each in 2020, 2021, and 2022, followed by three awards in 2024, and two in 2026 — though the trajectory masks the reality that the April 2024 VA IDIQ establishment and subsequent delivery orders represent the material expansion of the federal business. One award (the October 1, 2026, delivery order valued at $1.7 million) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months, though the underlying IDIQ ceiling of $35.2 million remains available through March 2029.
