High Country Contractors Inc.

High Country Contractors Inc., a Native American-owned and minority-owned small business based in Perkins, Oklahoma, provides aviation infrastructure construction and modernization services — antenna tower replacement, electrical system upgrades, runway visual range system installations, air traffic control tower renovations, and fire life safety improvements — exclusively to the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company holds active SBA 8(a) Program Participant certification through July 17, 2030, and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles; no full-and-open competition awards appear in the recent footprint.

High Country Contractors' customer base is concentrated singularly within the FAA. The four named FAA sub-organizations account for 100% of recent awards: FAA Headquarters leads with 22 awards worth $63.2 million in combined potential value, followed by FAA Franchise Acquisition Services with 10 awards worth $11.8 million, FAA Southwestern Region with two awards worth $975 thousand, and FAA Great Lakes Region with one award worth $230 thousand. The company does not work with any other federal agencies; the entire $76.2 million combined potential value portfolio is FAA-funded. Recent representative work includes a $1.39 million firm fixed-price contract for Remote Communications Air/Ground (RCAG) tower replacement at Ponca City and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (awarded November 18, 2025, completion December 31, 2026), a $730,525 contract to construct two 30-foot self-supporting antenna towers at the Sunnyside RCAG facility in Carbon County, Utah (awarded August 28, 2025, completion December 31, 2026), and a $529,232 contract for fire life safety upgrades at the Air Traffic Control Tower in Evansville, Indiana (awarded May 15, 2025, completion April 6, 2026).

The NAICS concentration underscores aviation infrastructure specialization: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (16 awards) and Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction (11 awards) dominate the portfolio, with PSC codes centered on Maintenance of Air Traffic Control Towers (10 awards), Construction of Radar and Navigational Facilities (7 awards), and Construction of Other Airfield Structures (7 awards). Activity has accelerated in recent years — one award in 2023 to seven in 2025 — though the source shows only one 2026 award to date. Five awards totaling $2.9 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. High Country Contractors operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontract footprint; the source notes no major subcontractors across the portfolio. One task order worth $9.5 million sits under Blanket Purchase Agreement DTFACN16A00010.

We are a general contractor that works closely with the FAA to build/remodel/upgrade navigational aids, fire life safety systems and other construction projects at airports all across the regional area and country.
