About this award

Coyote Air, LLC, a small business based in Fairbanks, Alaska, was awarded a $331,750 firm fixed-price contract by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) on December 13, 2024, to provide air services supporting sea ice buoy deployments in northern Alaska. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, requires Coyote Air to furnish aircraft, pilot, and crew capable of short-field landings on unimproved sea ice to deploy approximately twenty-five research buoys. The work will be performed across three locations—Prudhoe Bay, Utqiagvik, and Kaktovik—with operations extending up to 300 nautical miles from base locations. The aircraft must accommodate up to 450 pounds of scientific equipment and be suitable for operations in extreme cold conditions. Contract performance is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2025.

This award reflects the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's ongoing need for specialized Arctic aviation support to conduct sea ice research off the northern Alaska coast. Coyote Air's selection was based on best value considerations, including technical capability, relevant experience with extreme cold weather operations, delivery schedule, and pricing. The contractor's prior experience conducting similar ERDC-funded air transportation missions in remote Arctic regions, combined with its established expertise in deploying research equipment on sea ice, positioned it as a qualified vendor for this mission-critical scientific research support.
