Port Of Moses Lake

Port Of Moses Lake, a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Moses Lake, Washington, operates Grant County International Airport and derives its federal revenue from three distinct capability streams: landing services and maintenance contracts with the U.S. Air Force, facility space leasing to the Air Force and General Services Administration, and Federal Aviation Administration grants for airport infrastructure improvements. The Port operates exclusively as a prime contractor and grant recipient, with no subcontract footprint; all 155 awards in the recent portfolio are prime awards.

The Air Force dominates the Port's contract business. The Department of the Air Force accounts for 38 awards (including Air Mobility Command and Air Combat Command subcomponents) with $69.4 million combined potential value — 93% of contract dollars across the Port's portfolio. Recent Air Force prime work includes a $28.3 million definitive contract for landing services and maintenance running through September 2035 (awarded February 2026), a $6.6 million definitive contract for the same services running through January 2026 (awarded April 2023), and multiple $23,000–$97,000 delivery orders under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force valued at $249,999.99 through February 2028, issued to support the 92nd Air Refueling Wing's mobility training exercises and requiring space rental, sanitation, badging, IT support, and ramp access. The Port also holds a General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreement (GS10B07048) with 25 task orders carrying $1.9 million combined potential value, primarily for office building leasing, and participates in two Department of Defense indefinite delivery contracts (W911S811D0017 and W911S817D0002) with 13 combined task orders worth $15.3 million, supporting regional military facility space needs.

The Federal Aviation Administration supplies the Port's grant revenue stream. The FAA's Northwest Mountain Region has awarded six federal grants totaling $1.4 million under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106 and 20.116) over the past five years. Representative grants include a $478,483 formula grant (June 2026) for runway marking rehabilitation and signage installation on Runway 14L/32R, a $335,122 project grant (September 2025) for design of a 13,500-square-foot snow removal equipment building and 20,900-square-foot aircraft rescue and firefighting facility, a $346,624 project grant (August 2021) for aircraft rescue and firefighting safety equipment acquisition and taxiway reconstruction, and a $223,415 formula grant (July 2025) supporting the same snow removal and ARFF building design work. A seventh grant from July 2021 provided American Rescue Plan Act economic assistance ($627,000 implied from the FAA award pattern) for pandemic-related operational and facility costs.

Activity is recent but thin. The Port received two awards in 2026, four in 2025, one in 2024, three in 2023, and two in 2022. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure. The Port's revenue model centers on real-property and airport-operations NAICS categories — 83 awards under "Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)" and 25 under "Other Airport Operations" — reflecting its role as infrastructure provider rather than a services contractor. Place of performance is Moses Lake, Washington, with federal customers accessing the Port's facilities for Air Force mobility training, GSA administrative leasing, and commercial aviation operations in the Pacific Northwest region.
