Partners In Air & Space Inc.

Partners In Air & Space Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Littleton, Colorado, operates exclusively as a subcontractor (91% of recent awards) to defense primes on space acquisition support and advisory services, with no prime contract vehicle presence and minimal dollar throughput relative to its activity volume.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated almost entirely on the Department of the Air Force, which accounts for 95% of awards in the source data. Within that agency, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) under Space Command anchors five awards carrying $100 thousand in combined potential value. The extreme concentration on a single agency and sub-command reflects Partners In Air & Space's positioning as a specialized subcontractor to the space acquisition ecosystem rather than a multi-agency prime.

Partners In Air & Space sits on two OASIS (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services) vehicles — placing 14 task orders under OASIS Small Business and 3 under the full OASIS — but does not hold prime positions on these vehicles. The vendor performs space enterprise subject matter expert (SME) advisory and acquisition support work. Recent sub-award examples include a Space Systems Command acquisition support role under Galapagos Federal Systems LLC (awarded January 2025) providing space enterprise SME advisory and assistance services, Space and Missile Systems Center acquisition integration support also under Galapagos (awarded May 2023), and multiple Strategic Initiatives Group consulting tasks under Science Applications International Corporation (awarded October 2023) advising Space Systems Command on external engagement positioning. Most recently, the vendor delivered HQSF analytics support for the Air Force Space Command under a KPMG LLP sub task (awarded October 2025).

Activity timing in the source is fragmented and does not form a coherent growth narrative — the dataset shows 2 awards in 2007, a spike to 14 awards in 2019, then 4 in 2023 and 2 in 2025. The combined potential value across all 22 awards is $1.1 million, but combined dollars obligated total $28.1 million (2,555% of stated potential value), indicating either that potential-value figures in the source are obsolete, underestimated, or reflect task-order ceilings rather than actual contract scope. The top NAICS category is Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (17 of 22 awards), anchoring the vendor's profile as a technical advisory firm rather than a services integrator. SCI-reported federal service contract activity spans only five records (all as named subcontractor, none as prime) across FY2022–FY2024, with workforce scaling from 5.3 FTEs in FY2022 to 7.0 FTEs in FY2024 — suggesting modest but growing engagement on reportable service contracts. The vendor operates as a feeder subcontractor to larger defense primes (Galapagos, SAIC, KPMG) and has no disclosed parent company or subsidiary relationships.
