Wrangell Mountain Air Inc.

Wrangell Mountain Air Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Glennallen, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor delivering fixed-wing on-call aircraft transportation and aviation support services to federal land management and scientific agencies across Alaska, competing predominantly full-and-open without set-aside designation except where Total Small Business applies.

The company's capability footprint centers on on-call fixed-wing passenger and cargo aviation services across remote Alaska terrain, with secondary work in helicopter maintenance, airstrip upkeep, search and rescue flights, and support for backcountry surveys and infrastructure inspections. Representative work includes a $32,467.50 delivery order from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region (June 2026) for fixed-wing on-call flight services supporting BLM cadastral survey operations in Wrangell; an $8,451.18 delivery order from the National Park Service Alaska Region (July 2025) for fixed-wing aircraft services supporting backcountry operations at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve; and a $9,337.09 delivery order from NPS Alaska Region (June 2024) for cultural resource survey flights in the Chitina area. The company holds two significant parent IDIQs: a $18.6 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Interior Business Center (April 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, completion March 2031) and a $500,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement from the Interior Business Center (June 2026, multiple award, completion June 2029).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior. The National Park Service Alaska Region dominates by award count (86 awards, $248 thousand combined potential value), while the Interior Business Center dominates by dollar value (6 awards, $40.6 million combined potential value), driven by the two large IDIQ vehicles. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors a $7.5 million aerial firefighting resources IDIQ. Together, these customers account for 94 awards and 100% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The vendor has served nine distinct customer agencies over time, including the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Activity has contracted significantly from a 2023 peak of nine awards down to two awards in both 2024 and 2025, with two awards logged in 2026 (as of mid-June). The portfolio shows 119 total prime awards with one recompete event (the $32 thousand BLM order) completing within the next twenty-four months. Task orders flow primarily through five parent vehicles: the Blanket Purchase Agreement IND12PA00269 (46 task orders, $101 thousand combined potential value), the Indefinite Delivery Contract 140D8121D0030 (24 task orders, $113 thousand combined potential value), and the DOI Fixed Wing Flight Services - AK/HI 2017-2018 vehicle (22 task orders, $53 thousand combined potential value). Wrangell Mountain Air is categorized under NAICS 488320 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) for 118 awards, with a single freight-air-transportation award. The company has been registered in SAM since 2003 and operates from bases in Glennallen, Copper Center, and Wrangell, Alaska.
