About the company
Informa Media LLC, doing business as Penton Media - Aviation Week, is a for-profit publisher and information services vendor based in New York that sells subscription access to aviation and aerospace market intelligence databases and digital platforms to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating in full-and-open competitions with no set-aside designations. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime on purchase orders; recent awards total $11.7 million in combined potential value across 73 prime awards since 2004, with no subcontract footprint.
Informa's concrete service portfolio centers on subscription-based access to specialized aviation and aerospace databases and digital intelligence platforms. The Aviation Week Intelligence Network (AWIN) is the vendor's flagship product across federal customers, offering real-time and archived news, market analysis, and forecasting tools. Subsidiary products include Aviation Week Fleet Discovery Civil (a civil aviation fleet database), Commercial Fleet & MRO Forecast (maintenance-repair-overhaul and aircraft fleet projections), and Aviation Daily (real-time aviation news). Representative awards include a $1.64 million firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the Shared Services Center on January 1, 2025, for agency-wide access to AWIN Premium and Commercial Fleet / MRO Forecast / Fleet Discovery Civil subscriptions running through June 30, 2030; a $352,562 purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 1, 2025, for AWIN access through December 31, 2029; and a $1.37 million order from a civilian federal agency (identified only as Headquarters in the source) on December 30, 2024, exercising an option period on an Aviation Weekly subscription through December 31, 2026.
Customer concentration clusters around transportation and space agencies. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters and NASA's Shared Services Center each account for 6 awards and anchor the top customer rankings — FAA at $3.9 million combined potential value and NASA Shared Services at $3.1 million — together representing 16% of awards by count. The top five customers by count cover only 33% of total awards, indicating moderate concentration; the top five by potential value cover 92%, revealing that a small number of large multi-year subscriptions drive most of the dollars. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, Department of Justice offices, and the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary round out the active customer base. All awards are categorized under Periodical Publishers (27 awards), Convention and Trade Show Organizers (7 awards), or Internet Publishing and Broadcasting (6 awards), with PSC codes concentrated in Newspapers and Periodicals (14 awards) and Books and Pamphlets (9 awards).
Activity has been flat to declining — two awards in 2022 and three annually in 2023–2025 — with only one award recorded year-to-date in 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor carries no active presence on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide BPAs; all awards are direct purchase orders issued by customer agencies. Informa has operated as a federal vendor continuously since 2004 and competes as a large business across all civilian and defense customer agencies without SBA certifications or set-aside restrictions.
