Skydive Elsinore Inc.

Skydive Elsinore Inc., a Lake Elsinore, California-based small business, provides military freefall training, high-altitude parachute instruction, aircraft support, and drop zone operations to the U.S. military and special operations forces as a prime contractor across 100% of its recent federal awards, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations.

Skydive Elsinore operates as a for-profit entity with federal registration dating to March 2002 and maintains active SAM.gov enrollment through November 2026. The vendor's work spans NAICS 611699 (Flight Training), 488390 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation), and 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries), with principal service codes concentrated in Social-Recreational and Education/Training activities. The company holds no SBA certifications beyond small business status and competes across both set-aside and unrestricted procurement streams, though roughly half its recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward special operations and Marine Corps training. United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) leads by potential value with 47 awards totaling $8.4 million, while the U.S. Marine Corps leads by volume with 66 awards worth $6.2 million combined potential value. These two customers account for 98% of the vendor's award footprint. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (7 awards, $1.5 million), Naval Special Warfare Command (4 awards, $391 thousand), and Army Special Operations Command (1 award, $390 thousand) round out the active set. This concentration reflects Skydive Elsinore's specialized niche: military parachute operations and advanced airborne training infrastructure are not broadly procured, and the vendor has entrenched relationships with the customer base most dependent on such capability.

The vendor's primary contract vehicles are five single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts. A $2,355,625 Marine Corps IDC (awarded January 5, 2024, extending through January 4, 2029) for HAHO training and flight hours has generated 20 task orders worth $949 thousand. A $1,339,250 Marine Corps IDC (awarded June 27, 2023, running through December 29, 2028) for military freefall progression and sustainment training has issued 17 delivery orders worth $249 thousand. A $1,950,000 SOCOM IDC for military free fall support (awarded July 10, 2025, extending through July 9, 2030) reflects the vendor's recent vehicle refresh and is designated total small business set-aside. Newer vehicles include a $750,000 single-award Air Combat Command BPA (awarded August 28, 2025, through August 27, 2030) for jump services within 400 miles of Nellis Air Force Base, designated total small business set-aside, and a $349,999 Air Force Materiel Command BPA (awarded November 17, 2025, through November 16, 2030) for tandem skydiving and wind tunnel services. These five vehicles account for a substantial share of recent task orders and embed the vendor across the special operations and tactical air training ecosystem.

Concrete representative work includes a $129,850 Naval Special Warfare Command airlift services delivery order (January 26, 2026), a $389,700 Army Special Operations Command purchase order for military freefall training venue and support (September 13, 2025, extending through September 12, 2030), and recurring Marine Corps delivery orders for lift tickets, flight hours, and parachute rigging packing services ranging from roughly $2,500 to $151,000 each. Most delivery orders are firm fixed price and issued against standing IDCs at Camp Pendleton North, California, with performance periods typically 30 to 120 days and ultimate completion dates extending into 2028 or 2029.

Activity has grown year over year from 12 awards in 2022 to 25 in 2025, though 2026 year-to-date count is four awards (reflecting only partial-year data through March 23, 2026). Combined potential value across all 129 prime awards is $17.3 million, with $4.6 million obligated to date (26% realization rate). Thirty awards representing $870 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus present recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors. The vendor holds no subcontractor footprint and receives no sub-awards; 100% of activity is as a prime contractor, indicating the company executes all work directly from its Lake Elsinore facility using organic staff and aircraft such as Cessna Caravans and Skyvans.
