Virginia Aviation Associates, LLC

Virginia Aviation Associates, LLC, operating as Hampton Roads Executive Airport, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a limited liability partnership that receives federal grant funding as the direct recipient of airport infrastructure improvement awards from the Federal Aviation Administration. The vendor operates a nonprimary public-use airport in Chesapeake, Virginia, and has no prime or subcontractor footprint in federal contracts; all federal engagement to date flows through FAA grant programs administered by the FAA Eastern Region.

Virginia Aviation Associates functions exclusively as a grant recipient, not a federal contractor. The vendor's entire federal award portfolio consists of 20 project grants issued by the FAA under two primary programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). The single customer is the FAA, accounting for 100% of awards. Recent awards include a $1,137,052.63 project grant awarded September 2, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program for the final construction phase of a fuel farm expansion (two 12,000-gallon fuel tanks, two self-service pumps, and apron pavement improvements); a $237,947.37 project grant awarded May 21, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program for the same fuel farm expansion's final construction phase; a $237,947.37 project grant awarded July 22, 2024, for design-phase work on the fuel farm project; an August 29, 2022, project grant for rehabilitation of 765 feet of west apron taxiway pavement (construction phase of a 1,530-foot project); and a $237,947.37 American Rescue Plan Act economic relief grant awarded December 27, 2021, to support COVID-19 pandemic response operations.

Activity is episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2022, one in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the multi-year, phased-funding nature of airport infrastructure projects. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $33.7 million. The vendor operates Hampton Roads Executive Airport as a self-sustaining revenue-generating facility and competes for FAA infrastructure grants to fund critical facility enhancements aligned with the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. No federal contract prime or subcontractor relationships are present in the award record.
