Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc.

Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Fairbanks, Alaska, provides scheduled and charter air transportation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across Alaska's remote Arctic environment. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open; no set-aside designations apply to its prime portfolio.

The company's capability footprint centers on fixed-wing aircraft operations for personnel transport, cargo movement, and specialized mission support in remote Alaskan locations. Concrete work includes frequent small-value BPA calls under a $6,780 Air Force master agreement for Blair Lake charter flights supporting Eielson Air Force Base (69 task orders, $90 thousand combined potential value); a $250,000 single-award NOAA BPA for atmospheric air sampling flights near Fairbanks running through June 2027 since 1999; and a $20.1 million Department of the Interior multiple-award contract for fixed-wing flight services across Alaska. Recent awards include a $51,360 purchase order from NOAA in June 2026 for sampling services at Poker Flats near Fairbanks (ultimate completion June 2028), a $1,500 Air Force BPA call in November 2025 for two charter flights to Eielson, and a $750 Pacific Air Forces BPA call in December 2025 for one flight—representative of the vendor's high-volume, small-per-unit transactional pattern.

Customer concentration is fragmented across the Air Force ecosystem. The top five funding entities account for 87% of awards by count but a narrower share by dollars. Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces leads by award count (84 awards, $100 thousand combined potential value), followed closely by Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (66 awards, $178 thousand), and Department of the Air Force broadly (58 awards, $86 thousand). By potential value, however, the Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Interior Business Center dominates with 6 awards worth $20.1 million combined—anchoring the vendor's dollar exposure while the Air Force calls drive transaction volume. Department of Commerce NOAA (4 awards, $451 thousand), FEMA Region 10 (3 awards, $106 thousand), and Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region (18 awards, $105 thousand) round out the active set. This ranking divergence signals that Warbelow's operates two distinct revenue streams: high-frequency, low-value Air Force flight support and episodic, higher-value Interior contracts for regional aviation logistics.

The vendor places work under multiple BPA vehicles. Blanket Purchase Agreement FA500422A0001 (69 task orders, $90 thousand) and FA500416A0003 (58 task orders, $85 thousand) dominate the Air Force call traffic; FA500410A0004 (46 task orders, $44 thousand) and the Interior-issued BPA IND12PA00200 (31 task orders, $288 thousand) carry additional volume. Category concentration is heavily weighted to scheduled passenger air transportation (209 awards, NAICS 481111) and nonscheduled charter passenger air transportation (51 awards, NAICS 481212), with air passenger services (PSC T) and air charter (PSC U) capturing 144 and 112 awards respectively—a narrow, specialized footprint.

Award activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years: 20 awards in 2022, declining to 14 in 2023, then recovering to 19 in 2024 and 18 in 2025, with 1 award recorded in 2026 as of the snapshot date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 1 award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $51 thousand), indicating low near-term recompete exposure. The vendor holds no subcontract positions; all 268 awards are prime contracts or IDVs. Since SAM.gov registration in 2001, Warbelow's has built a stable, regionally focused federal footprint serving Alaska's military, interior conservation, and scientific-research customers with critical aviation logistics in an environment where geographic and operational constraints limit the vendor pool.
