Trojan Phlyers Inc.

Trojan Phlyers Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Midlothian, Texas, operates as a prime contractor providing T-28 aerobatic formation demonstrations and aerial show performances to the U.S. Air Force and Navy Reserve in support of military recruitment, training, and public engagement activities. The vendor competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open designations, with 100% of its federal award footprint as prime work and no subcontractor role.

Trojan Phlyers' customer concentration is almost entirely within the Department of the Air Force and its major commands. The top five customer entities account for 88% of recent awards, with Air Education and Training Command leading by award count (14 awards, $58 thousand combined potential value), followed by the parent Department of the Air Force (9 awards, $62 thousand), Air Combat Command (6 awards, $33 thousand), and Global Strike Command (7 awards, $29 thousand). The Navy Reserve has placed one award valued at $12.5 thousand. The two rankings align closely — Air Force commands dominate both volume and dollars — reflecting a narrow customer base entirely within aviation and air show programming.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers exclusively on warbird aerial demonstrations. Recent representative contracts include a $8.8 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Air Combat Command awarded August 7, 2026, for a T-28 demonstration team (two aircraft) at the 2026 Offutt Air Force Base Defenders of Freedom Air and Space Show; a $7.9 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Education and Training Command awarded March 27, 2026, for Trojan Phlyers performance services at Laughlin Air Force Base; and a $12.5 thousand Navy Reserve award from April 11, 2024, for aerial demonstration team services. Individual purchase orders typically range from $7.4 thousand to $8.8 thousand for two-ship or formation demonstrations with one to two performance slots per event.

Activity has remained modest and flat, with one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — a total of 43 awards across the source period carrying a combined potential value of $216 thousand. The vendor operates exclusively on small purchase orders under $50 thousand thresholds; there is no parent GWAC, IDIQ, or BPA in the source data. The vendor is registered in SAM as a Subchapter S Corporation and has maintained federal contracts since at least 2004. With all work routed through individual Air Force and Navy purchase orders for discrete air show events, Trojan Phlyers' federal footprint is characterized by high fragmentation, low transaction value, and deep specialization in a single service line with no apparent recompete cliff or vehicle consolidation opportunity.
