About this award

Aero Air, LLC has been awarded a delivery order valued at $7.29 million under the Next Generation Large Airtanker Services 3.0 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, effective January 1, 2025, with completion by December 31, 2025. This firm fixed-price delivery order, issued by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), represents exclusive use of Aero Air's aerial firefighting capabilities and is based at the company's operations in Boise, Idaho. As a specialized aerial firefighting provider based in Hillsboro, Oregon, Aero Air operates a fleet of turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft, including Lockheed P-3 Orion and Electra models, to deliver critical wildfire suppression services across the nation.

This award carries no set-aside designation and supports NIFC's wildland fire management operations through rapid deployment of large airtankers for aerial fire retardant drops, reconnaissance, cargo transport, and personnel support missions. The delivery order falls within the $100 million Next Generation Large Airtanker Services 3.0 multiple-award IDIQ, which enables NIFC to secure dedicated aircraft availability for extended periods. Aero Air's established performance under this contract vehicle, combined with its significant portfolio of federal airtanker contracts exceeding $1.5 billion in total value, positions the company as a primary provider of aerial firefighting support to federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service and NIFC.
