Skydive Elsinore Inc.

Skydive Elsinore Inc., a Lake Elsinore, California-based small business, operates as a prime contractor providing military freefall training, high-altitude parachute instruction, aircraft support, and drop zone operations directly to the Department of Defense and Special Operations Command with no subcontractor footprint. The company competes entirely under small-business set-asides, with 100 percent of its 138 recent prime awards designated as total small business set-asides or competing in full-and-open market vehicle competitions where small business status is the governing distinction.

Skydive Elsinore's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward special operations training. The top five funding agencies account for 96 percent of awards, led by the United States Special Operations Command (47 awards, $8.4 million combined potential value) and the United States Marine Corps (71 awards, $4.2 million combined potential value). Air Combat Command, Naval Special Warfare Command, the Department of the Navy, and Army Special Operations Command round out the active set. The two rankings diverge markedly on potential value: SOCOM anchors the dollar concentration despite fewer awards than Marine Corps, reflecting the higher average value of special operations training task orders compared to the frequent smaller Marine Corps lift-ticket and site-support delivery orders.

Skydive Elsinore operates across five active indefinite delivery contracts. The Marine Corps has awarded two IDCs: a $1.34 million single-award contract (June 27, 2023, through December 29, 2028) for military freefall progression and sustainment training with 17 prior delivery orders totaling approximately $249 thousand, and a $2.36 million single-award contract (January 5, 2024, through January 4, 2029) for HAHO training and flight hours support. SOCOM holds a $1.95 million single-award IDC (July 10, 2025, through July 9, 2030) for military freefall support services. Air Combat Command established a $750 thousand single-award BPA (August 28, 2025, through August 27, 2030) designated total small business set-aside for jump services within 400 miles of Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, supporting the 414th Combat Training Squadron. The Navy Department awarded an $82,200 single-award IDC (May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2028) for air delivery and low-level static line progression and sustainment training support. Additionally, Air Force Materiel Command awarded a $349,999 multiple-award BPA (November 17, 2025, through November 16, 2030) for tandem skydiving and wind tunnel services.

Recent representative work includes a $129,850 delivery order from Naval Special Warfare Command (January 26, 2026) for airlift services supporting Navy Parachute Team operations, a $389,700 purchase order from Army Special Operations Command (September 13, 2025) for military freefall training venue and support services extending through June 30, 2030, a $78,175 delivery order from Naval Special Warfare Command (January 12, 2026) for fiscal year 2026 second quarter airlift services, and a $750 thousand Air Combat Command BPA for jump services. Marine Corps work consists predominantly of lift tickets, flight hours, parachute rigger packing, and site support, typically valued between $2,500 and $126 thousand per delivery order.

Activity has grown steadily from 12 awards in 2022 to 26 in 2025, with 12 awards recorded so far in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 26 awards with combined potential value of $571 thousand reach ultimate completion, creating recompete exposure across both the Marine Corps and SOCOM vehicle portfolios. The vendor executes all work directly from its Lake Elsinore facility using organic staff and owned aircraft, including Cessna Caravans and Skyvans, with no subcontractor involvement across the prime award footprint.

Work spans three primary NAICS categories: Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation (76 awards), All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries (34 awards), and All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (21 awards), reflecting the dual nature of the business—operational airlift and specialized training delivery. Performance occurs at Lake Elsinore, Camp Pendleton North, and designated special operations training sites across California and the Southwest.
