About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian sub-agency of USDA, procures fire suppression services, aircraft operations, and related aviation support across the national interagency wildfire response system.
The Center has awarded 23,005 federal contracts since 2004, with combined potential value of $75.61 billion and $11.77 billion obligated. Contract award volume has declined over the last five years: 2,827 awards in 2022, 2,178 in 2023, 2,012 in 2024, 1,546 in 2025, and 1,495 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is October 15, 2026.
Among the top five primes by recent award count over the last five years, the competitive base is highly fragmented — these five vendors hold only 20% of recent awards. EAN Holdings, LLC leads by count with 639 awards but only $58.1 million combined potential value, followed by Helicopter Express LLC with 550 awards and $327.5 million. Croman Corp, Aero-Flite, Inc., and Bridger Air Tanker LLC round out the top five. When ranked by combined potential value over the same window, concentration remains highly fragmented at 2% coverage of recent spending — Aero-Flite, Inc. leads at $586.4 million across 269 awards, but the top five by value span only a small portion of the Center's total transactional footprint. The Center has awarded contracts to 2,459 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history.
The set-aside mix is overwhelmingly unrestricted: 20,520 awards (89%) carry no set-aside designation. Total Small Business set-asides account for 2,264 awards (10%). 8(a) Sole Source, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Competitive 8(a) together represent fewer than 100 awards cumulatively.
No recent contract or grant opportunities are recorded in the source data.
