About the company
Pentastar Aviation, LLC, a Michigan-based for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Waterford Township, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) providing aviation facility leasing, aircraft parts and supplies, and airfield infrastructure services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-aside designations. The vendor has served the federal government since at least 1992 and maintains a subsidiary, Pentastar Aviation Charter, Inc.
Pentastar's federal footprint is concentrated in real estate leasing. The top three customers by award count and combined potential value align closely: the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing dominates the portfolio with 16 awards valued at $2.9 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration with 9 awards totaling $149 thousand. These two customers account for approximately 31% of the award count across the vendor's portfolio. Recent GSA work centers on hangar and office rental at the Waterford Township facility, with successive single-year purchase orders for 2,146 square feet of hangar space and 900 square feet of office space valued at approximately $20 thousand to $24 thousand annually from October 2022 through September 2027. The DEA awards follow the same pattern — recurring annual purchase orders for temporary duty aircraft storage and maintenance, with values ranging from $4,700 to $22,536 per year since at least 2021.
Pentastar places 67 of 81 recent awards (83%) under NAICS 711310 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings except Miniwarehouses), with secondary capability in aircraft support services (5 awards under Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, 4 under Other Airport Operations). The vendor's work sits primarily on two GSA Basic Ordering Agreements: GS05B17998 carrying 50 task orders valued at $6.1 million combined potential value and GS05B17563 with 15 task orders at $71 thousand. Activity remains steady at one to two awards per year for the past four years, with minimal recompete exposure — only one award (valued at $24 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months. As a subcontractor, Pentastar delivers aircraft parts and supplies to Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC on both a Department of Defense task order and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory research and development sub-award as of August 2024 and September 2025. Combined obligated dollars total $745 thousand against $7.1 million in combined potential value, reflecting the firm-fixed-price purchase order structure of the core GSA and DEA lease portfolio.
