About the company
Gulf Aviation Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and Hispanic American-owned business located in Harlingen, Texas, operating as a premier fixed-base operator at the Valley International Airport. The company primarily provides aviation-related services to federal government agencies, with a specific focus on aerial dispersal and flight support for specialized agricultural and environmental programs. While limited public information is available about the company's broader operations, its federal contract history demonstrates a consistent and specialized approach to providing targeted aviation services.
Gulf Aviation Inc. has exclusively provided flight services and aviation fuel procurement to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS), specifically supporting the Plant Protection and Quarantine program. The company's primary contract work involves aerial dispersal of sterile fruit flies in Texas, aimed at controlling invasive fruit fly populations that could potentially damage agricultural crops. These contracts have ranged from fuel purchases (100 low lead aviation fuel) to flight hours for sterile insect release programs. The federal contracts have consistently been firm-fixed-price delivery orders, with most awards not utilizing specific set-aside provisions, though one contract was designated as a total small business set-aside.
Gulf Aviation Inc. holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) with USDA-APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine, valued at $2.44 million and effective through February 15, 2028. This IDV provides a framework for issuing delivery orders for flight hours supporting sterile insect dispersal programs. To date, multiple delivery orders have been issued against this contract, ranging from $86,088 to $391,248, all focused on aerial dispersal services in Texas. The IDV allows USDA-APHIS to leverage Gulf Aviation's specialized capabilities for precise and targeted aerial insect control operations, with delivery orders consistently issued for flight hours and related services to support plant protection initiatives.
