Mid-Pacific Air Service LLC

Mid-Pacific Air Service LLC, a small-business-certified aviation contractor based in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) providing fixed-wing chartered passenger air transportation services to remote Pacific island locations, with work heavily concentrated under Department of the Interior contracts and IDCs.

Mid-Pacific Air Service is a for-profit Limited Liability Company operating under NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation). The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides; 12 of 14 recent awards carry either Total Small Business or no set-aside designations, with most set-aside work routed through the Fish and Wildlife Service. The company specializes in fully contractor-operated aviation logistics — including aircraft, pilots, fuel, and maintenance support — tailored to the logistical demands of remote, environmentally sensitive federal facilities where commercial air service is unavailable or impractical.

Customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 accounts for six awards and $17.6 million in combined potential value, while four additional FWS awards carry $2.8 million, together representing 93% of all recent awards. The remaining volume splits among the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($39 thousand), the US Geological Survey Water Resources Division ($35 thousand), and the Department of the Navy. Potential value concentration tracks identically across both top-customer rankings — FWS dominates dollars and volume in tandem.

Mid-Pacific Air Service holds two primary IDCs with FWS Region 1. The larger single-award IDC, valued at $12.49 million and running through May 31, 2027, procures fully contractor-operated commercial aviation services between Honolulu and the Midway and Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuges; seven delivery orders issued under this vehicle carry $5.3 million in combined potential value as of the source date. A second IDC, valued at $1.04 million with ultimate completion June 30, 2024, covers emergency fixed-wing flight services to the same refuges; two delivery orders total $1.6 million. Recent concrete examples include a $1.37 million Total Small Business delivery order awarded May 28, 2026, for aviation services to Midway Atoll with completion by May 31, 2027; a $1.54 million Dassault Falcon 50 exclusive-use charter delivery order awarded June 24, 2024, for Midway and Palmyra operations; and a $1.55 million emergency fixed-wing delivery order awarded August 1, 2023, for urgent transportation to both atolls.

Activity has remained modest in absolute scale but consistent. The vendor received three awards in 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. Only two awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited near-term recompete exposure; the bulk of potential value sits in the large FWS IDC running through mid-2027. In its subcontractor capacity, Mid-Pacific Air Service performs nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation under Jacobs/B&V (a joint venture) on a Wake Island bulk fuel storage and offshore mooring project, and provides services under ASRC Communications on an Air Force continuation contract beginning September 30, 2024. Across SCI-reportable service contracts, the vendor invoiced $2 million in FY2024 on a minimal FTE footprint (0.1 FTEs), with government-paid hourly rates averaging around $7,757 per hour — a rate structure consistent with specialized aviation charter operations where aircraft and crew represent fixed overhead costs allocated to limited billable hours.
