About this award
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $260,511.44 firm fixed-price delivery order to Bridger Air Tanker LLC on March 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This delivery order, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, is issued under one of two significant indefinite delivery vehicles held by the contractor: the $75 million CWN Water Scooper 2.0 contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which also carries a total small business set-aside designation. Bridger Air Tanker LLC, based in Belgrade, Montana, provides specialized aerial firefighting services including air tanker flights for fire retardant delivery, aerial supervision operations, and command and control support during wildland fire suppression efforts.
This delivery order represents a continuation of the government's sustained investment in Bridger Air Tanker's aviation capabilities as a critical resource for wildland fire management across federal land management agencies. The contractor's two primary IDVs, collectively representing over $475 million in potential value, enable rapid deployment of aerial firefighting assets in response to active wildfire incidents. The firm fixed-price structure and performance location in Belgrade, Montana reflect the contractor's established operational base and the government's reliance on Bridger Air Tanker's specialized assets during peak wildfire seasons managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management.
