About this award
Neptune Aviation Services, Inc., doing business as Northstar Jet, received a $496,044.70 firm fixed price delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) on December 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for December 16, 2025. This delivery order falls under the Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023 indefinite delivery vehicle and does not carry a small business set-aside designation. The work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Missoula, Montana. Neptune Aviation Services is a woman-owned small business with over 25 years of experience operating the largest privately-owned fleet of large airtankers in the United States and providing comprehensive aerial firefighting and aviation maintenance services to federal wildland fire management operations.
Under the parent Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023 contract vehicle, Neptune Aviation Services provides critical support across multiple service categories including exclusive-use large airtanker operations, air attack coordination, aerial fire retardant drops, smokejumper and cargo transport, and extensive aircraft maintenance and repair services ranging from routine inspections to complex modifications and engine overhauls. The contractor maintains two primary indefinite delivery contracts with federal agencies: a $48.09 million multiple-award IDV with NIFC (January 2024–December 2033) for national light fixed-wing services and large airtanker operations, and a $16 million single-award IDV with the Bureau of Land Management (March 2024–April 2029) for air attack services in Nevada and Idaho. These contracts position Neptune Aviation Services as an essential provider of on-demand aerial firefighting capabilities and maintenance support to federal emergency response infrastructure during peak wildland fire periods across the western United States.
