About this award
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $903,390.51 firm fixed-price delivery order to Bridger Air Tanker LLC on October 16, 2025, for aerial firefighting services with performance continuing through December 31, 2025. Based in Belgrade, Montana, Bridger Air Tanker provides specialized aviation support including air tanker flights for fire retardant delivery, aerial supervision operations, and command and control support during active wildfire suppression efforts. This delivery order carries no small business set-aside designation and represents task order work under one of two major indefinite delivery vehicle contracts that form the backbone of the contractor's federal work. The company operates under a $400 million indefinite delivery vehicle with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management for National Single Engine Air Tanker Flight Services, which enables rapid deployment of aerial firefighting assets in response to wildfire incidents across federal lands.
Bridger Air Tanker has established itself as a critical strategic resource for the federal government's wildland fire management infrastructure, with documented delivery orders exceeding $100 million since 2021. The contractor also holds a $75 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service designated as the CWN Water Scooper 2.0 contract. The consistency and frequency of delivery order awards throughout the calendar year demonstrate sustained federal demand for the company's specialized aviation capabilities during peak wildfire seasons, with the two indefinite delivery vehicles collectively representing over $475 million in potential contract value for aerial firefighting operations across the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior.
