About the company
Priority 1 Air Rescue Operations (Arizona), LP, a foreign-owned for-profit limited partnership and subsidiary of Priority 1 Air Rescue Services Inc., delivers helicopter search-and-rescue training, aviation aircrew instruction, and tactical hoist operations training to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), with a heavy concentration on total small business set-aside work under its Coast Guard IDC. Headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, the company operates primarily under NAICS 611710 (Flight Training) and delivers specialized helicopter hoist operator certification courses, dynamic hoist training, aviation medic instruction, and MH-139A special-mission-aviator transition training across multiple federal customers.
The Coast Guard dominates Priority 1's customer portfolio and vehicle position. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard accounts for 33 awards and $14.6 million in combined potential value (48% of the prime footprint), anchored by a single-award total-small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contract valued at $5.567 million running through July 2029 (IDIQ 70Z02324D71100002). This Coast Guard IDC is the vendor's highest-value vehicle, with 10 task orders across the source data worth $1.6 million combined. Recent Coast Guard delivery orders include a $159,600 helicopter hoist operator training call completed in September 2026 for MH-60 and MH-65 courses, a $380,000 order (January 2025 award, July 2025 completion) for MH-60T and MH-65E training, and a $239,400 order (June 2025 award, August 2026 completion) for hoist operator training. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command places the second-largest dollar concentration at $5.3 million across three awards, including a $5.27 million firm-fixed-price delivery order (September 2023 award, completion through September 2028) for MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter crew training at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, part of the broader Utility Helicopter Replacement Program transitioning from the legacy UH-1N. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division rounds out the top three at $5.2 million across seven awards; a $4.99 million blanket purchase agreement for helicopter operations and hoist training and a $23,802.59 BPA call (March 2022 award) for advanced daylight helicopter operations and hoist training under total small business set-aside designation are representative. GSA Federal Acquisition Service places $3.9 million across four awards under the Multiple Award Schedule vehicle, including a $5.27 million Air Force MH-139A training delivery order and equipment calls (treadmills, exercise bikes, weight equipment worth $37,083).
Priority 1's activity footprint spans 12 federal agencies across 63 total awards since 2014, with recent volume at seven awards in 2022, six in 2023, eleven in 2024, four in 2025, and five in 2026 through August—a growth arc from 2022 through 2024 followed by a decline in 2025–2026 award count. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $30.1 million, with $9.5 million obligated (32% of potential). One award—the Air Force's $5.3 million MH-139A training delivery order—faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. Priority 1's parent vehicle portfolio beyond the Coast Guard IDC includes 18 task orders under an older Coast Guard IDC (70Z02318DPBR00700) worth $3.2 million combined, a seven-call FBI BPA (15F06719A0003594) for $265 thousand, and six Multiple Award Schedule calls totaling $5.5 million. The vendor also delivered a $27,151 Army purchase order (February 2026) for aircraft hoist training in Marietta, Georgia and a $90,988 Colorado National Guard purchase order (September 2024) for HAATS simulator installation.
SCI-reported federal service contracts capture $1.8 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2023 (FY2022: $1.3 million; FY2023: $502 thousand), with workforce delivery of 5.3 FTEs in FY2022 and 2.3 FTEs in FY2023. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor paid government-paid hourly rates at the median around $109/hr, ranging from roughly $108/hr at the tenth percentile to $118/hr at the ninetieth percentile, reflecting instructor and training-delivery labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed zero percent of contractor hours, indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams for training instruction rather than relying on sub-vendor capacity. The single sub-award on record—a February 2024 aviation support service order under prime contractor V2X Aerospace LLC—represents peripheral activity; Priority 1 operates as a pure prime across its federal footprint.
