Wing & A Prayer Aviation Inc.

Wing & A Prayer Aviation Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Cantwell, Alaska, provides fixed-wing on-call flight services to the Department of the Interior and related federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, competing under Total Small Business set-asides on its core IDIQ and under full-and-open designations on most task orders. The vendor specializes in wildlife tracking and aerial surveys, search and rescue operations, and personnel and cargo transportation across Alaska's remote national parks, preserves, and refuges.

All 156 awards in the source represent prime contracting work; Wing & A Prayer holds no subcontract engagements. Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Interior accounts for substantially all awards and dollars. The National Park Service Alaska Region dominates by volume (104 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), but the Interior Business Center and the Office of Policy Management and Budget anchor the dollar position with three IDVs and BPAs valued at $59.2 million combined. The Interior Business Center holds a $18.6 million multiple-award IDIQ for fixed-wing on-call flight services awarded April 1, 2026, under Total Small Business set-aside, running through March 31, 2031. The Office of Policy Management and Budget awarded a $250,000 single-award BPA on August 20, 2025, and a $500,000 single-award BPA on September 5, 2024, both for on-call fixed-wing transportation in Alaska through 2029 and 2030 respectively. Below the IDV tier, the vendor draws on several legacy BPA vehicles (IND12PA00160, DOI Fixed Wing Flight Services - AK/HI 2017–2018, and 140D8121D0029) that collectively account for 131 task orders valued at $1.4 million.

Recent activity declined from 6 awards in both 2023 and 2024 to 4 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date (through April 17, 2026). Only 3 awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $244 thousand — minimal recompete cliff exposure relative to the $59.2 million IDIQ and BPA ceiling portfolio. Work is performed in Alaska, with place of performance spanning Denali National Park and Preserve, Fairbanks, Healy, and other remote locations across Interior agency lands. Pricing is predominantly fixed-price or fixed-price with economic price adjustment. Representative recent prime work includes a $52,883 delivery order from the National Park Service for wildlife tracking (April 17, 2026), a $126,192 BPA call from Interior for wildlife location services at Denali (March 18, 2026), and an $8,789.98 delivery order from the Bureau of Land Management for caribou composition surveys (September 14, 2025). The vendor's footprint is geographically concentrated and mission-focused, with no cross-agency diversification or sub-engagement strategy.
