Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport Commission

The Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport Commission, doing business as Public Airport, is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2004, operating as an airport authority in Weyers Cave, Virginia. The organization provides critical infrastructure and operational services for the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (SHD), serving as a key transportation hub in the region. Through federal contract and grant awards, the airport commission manages airport development, infrastructure improvements, land acquisition, and pandemic response initiatives, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to airport management and regional transportation needs.

In terms of federal contract awards, the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport Commission has received two notable contracts. The first was a $6,650 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region for land/facility use related to the "Waterfall Mountain" project. The second was a $120,450 Other Transaction Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration to establish a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Reimbursement Program at the airport. Neither contract had a specific set-aside designation, and both were aimed at supporting airport infrastructure and operational needs.

The airport commission has been the recipient of multiple federal grants, primarily from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program. These grants totaled approximately $11.4 million and covered a wide range of airport improvements and operational support. Key grant activities included runway rehabilitation (6,002 feet of Runway 5/23), land acquisition for future development (totaling over 40 acres), construction of new aircraft aprons and hangars, environmental assessments, and COVID-19 pandemic response funding. The grants also supported infrastructure enhancements such as lighting system rehabilitation, land easement acquisitions, and economic relief to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the pandemic. Most grants were awarded by the FAA Eastern Region and spanned project completion dates from 2025 to 2029, indicating a sustained commitment to airport modernization and expansion.
