Montgomery Airport Authority

Montgomery Airport Authority, a nonprofit organization and federal grant recipient based in Montgomery, Alabama, receives federal funding from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to construct, rehabilitate, and maintain airport infrastructure at Montgomery Regional Airport. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient (100% of recent awards) and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; all federal activity is grant-funded under FAA programs.

Montgomery Airport Authority's recent grant portfolio concentrates on airfield and terminal infrastructure modernization funded through three primary FAA grant programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), and the Payments for Small Community Air Service Development program (CFDA 20.930). Representative work includes a $4.175 million Airport Infrastructure Grants award (August 2026) to construct and expand a fuel farm at Montgomery Airport by adding four fuel tanks, two self-service pumps, and associated apron pavement; an $8.954 million Airport Improvement Program award (August 2026) to rehabilitate 9,020 feet of Runway 10/28 as part of Phase 2 construction; a $5.263 million Airport Improvement Program award (June 2025) to reconstruct terminal baggage handling systems and escalators; and multiple lighting reconstruction grants totaling approximately $7.8 million (August 2025, combined across two awards) to replace Runway 10/28 and Taxiway A and B lighting infrastructure. Earlier activity includes a $2.75 million American Rescue Plan Act grant (November 2021) providing economic assistance to cover airport operations, personnel, and sanitization costs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a $300 thousand Small Community Air Service Development grant (September 2022) to support and retain commercial air service to Reagan National Airport.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the FAA Southern Region, which issued 22 awards across the recent footprint, though the portfolio also includes General Services Administration leasing grants (15 awards, $3.6 million combined potential value) and Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration activity. The Authority placed 56 task orders under a GSA Basic Ordering Agreement (GS04B46070) carrying $11.5 million in combined potential value, reflecting real estate and facilities management support to federal offices. The category concentration shows 57 awards in the Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings classification, indicating a strong facilities and property-leasing posture alongside core airport infrastructure grants. Activity has been episodic — six awards in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, six in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only one award completing in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the 95-award footprint stands at $12.3 million, though combined obligated dollars reach $89.2 million, indicating substantial prior-year funding execution on infrastructure projects with multi-year completion horizons running through 2030.
