Pettibone Concrete Construction Inc.

Pettibone Concrete Construction Inc., doing business as Small Business, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Panama City, Florida, that provides airfield pavement maintenance, repair, and minor construction services to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). The company competes predominantly under total small business set-aside vehicles and holds a $33 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Air Education and Training Command (AETC) awarded in September 2021 and expiring September 2026.

Pettibone's customer concentration is extreme: AETC accounts for 67 awards worth $104.4 million combined potential value, and Air Combat Command (ACC) accounts for 62 awards worth $54.8 million, representing 97% of all awards by count and essentially 100% of meaningful dollar value. The company has delivered over $30 million in cumulative work under its primary AETC IDV since 2021. Representative delivery orders under the AETC contract include a $4.8 million repair of stormwater drainpipe and drainage structures awarded June 2023 (completion date March 2027), a $4.8 million repair of Taxiway H awarded November 2021 (completion date May 2023), a $4 million repair of Taxiway A pavement awarded September 2022 (completion date February 2025), and a $1.3 million conversion and expansion of Taxiway Bravo awarded January 2023 (completion date November 2024). Recent awards include a $1.28 million delivery order for maintenance of airfield paint and rubber at Tyndall AFB awarded March 2026 (completion date July 2026) under Total Small Business set-aside, and an $834 thousand delivery order for airfield marking repairs and painting awarded August 2025 (completion date December 2025).

Pettibone's scope of work is tightly focused on runway and taxiway repairs, airfield marking and painting, drainage infrastructure improvements, concrete pavement restoration, grounding and mooring point installation, and airfield rubber removal. All work is concentrated at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida, and other Air Force installations. Work is performed as firm fixed-price delivery orders with no identified subcontractors; the company subcontracts minimally, with one recorded sub award in 2024 to BL Harbert International LLC for flightline aircraft sunshade construction at Tyndall AFB. The primary NAICS codes are Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (82 awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (65 awards), with top PSC codes focused on airport service roads (72 awards), airport runway and taxiway construction and repair (44 combined awards), and miscellaneous building repair (25 awards).

Activity has declined year over year — seven awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 year-to-date — though the dollar value per award has remained substantial. Only two awards totaling $6.1 million face completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. The company has held federal contracts continuously since 1996 and maintains a 61% obligation rate across its $159.6 million combined potential value.
