About this award
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $532,384.48 firm fixed-price delivery order to Bridger Air Tanker LLC on February 23, 2026, for aerial firefighting services. This delivery order, designated as 0223-022826 N422BT PKG-70493, carries a total small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2026. Bridger Air Tanker, a specialized aviation contractor based in Belgrade, Montana, will perform services at its operational base, providing critical aerial firefighting support including air tanker flights for fire retardant delivery, aerial supervision operations, and command and control support during wildland fire suppression efforts.
This delivery order is issued under the National Interagency Fire Center's broader contracting infrastructure for federal wildland fire management, which coordinates resources across the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management. Bridger Air Tanker operates under multiple significant indefinite delivery vehicle contracts, including a $75 million contract with the Forest Service for the CWN Water Scooper 2.0 program and a $400 million contract with the Bureau of Land Management for National Single Engine Air Tanker Flight Services. These foundational contracts, representing over $475 million in potential value, demonstrate the government's substantial reliance on Bridger Air Tanker's specialized aviation assets as a critical component of the nation's wildland fire management infrastructure.
