Midwest Weather, Inc.

Midwest Weather, Inc., headquartered in St. Peters, Missouri, operates as a small business prime contractor delivering weather observation and forecasting services to federal aviation, maritime, and defense customers. The vendor competes under total small business set-asides on its core FAA contract-weather vehicles and full-and-open on derivative delivery orders, with 100% of tracked awards held as prime contracts (no subcontract activity recorded).

Midwest Weather's capability footprint is highly specialized: manual and automated weather data collection, forecast preparation, weather briefings, and analytical expertise for air traffic control, flight planning, and national airspace system operations. The vendor delivers these services from fixed locations in Missouri and O'Fallon, supplementing the FAA's Automated Surface Observing System at selected airports nationwide. Representative prime work includes a $7.236 million delivery order under Contract Weather Program Area 5 (FAA, awarded July 2025, completion May 2026), a $2.38 million delivery order under Contract Weather Program Area 10 (FAA, awarded July 2025, completion May 2026), and a $989,554.94 delivery order under Contract Weather Observation Area 10 Option Year 3 (FAA, awarded July 2026, completion May 2027).

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects the vendor's specialized market position. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration accounts for 66 of 247 tracked awards; within FAA, the Headquarters contracting office anchors $137.4 million of the $275 million combined potential value across ten awards, while the Franchise Acquisition Services office holds seven awards worth $56.3 million combined. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 174 awards but carries only $119 thousand in combined potential value, indicating recurring micro-awards for specialized analysis or observation services. Together, these three FAA and NOAA customer segments represent 70% of combined potential-value exposure. The vendor holds four active single-award indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with FAA under the Contract Weather Program, structured as total small business set-asides: IDC 6973GH23D00063 ($34.597 million ceiling, completion May 2028), IDC 6973GH23D00058 ($11.797 million ceiling, completion May 2028), IDC 6973GH22D00056 (expired May 2023), and IDC 6973GH22D00057 ($8.126 million ceiling, completion May 2027). These four vehicles collectively represent the vendor's primary federal revenue stream, with four, three, one, and one task orders respectively.

Recent activity has declined materially: four awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The vendor faces a single recompete exposure of $990 thousand across awards completing in the next twenty-four months (IDC 6973GH23D00063 expires May 2027, well beyond that window). Midwest Weather has operated as a federal contractor since at least 1989, with 247 total tracked awards and $142.9 million obligated dollars (52% of $275 million combined potential value), indicating mature program execution and sustained relationships with FAA's contract-weather portfolio.
