About this award
Neptune Aviation Services, Inc. (doing business as Northstar Jet) was awarded a delivery order valued at approximately $497K under the Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023 Indefinite Delivery Vehicle by the National Interagency Fire Center on January 1, 2024. This award represents part of a larger $48.09 million multiple-award IDV contract extending through December 2033 that establishes Neptune as a primary provider of national light fixed-wing aerial firefighting and aviation support services. The contract covers a comprehensive range of capabilities including large airtanker operations, air attack coordination, aircraft maintenance and repair, aerial fire retardant drops, and aerial reconnaissance services. As a woman-owned small business headquartered in Missoula, Montana, Neptune operates the largest privately-owned fleet of large airtankers in the United States and maintains extensive aviation maintenance facilities critical to federal wildland fire management operations.
This delivery order was issued without a small business set-aside designation, reflecting Neptune's competitive standing as a trusted prime contractor to federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Interagency Fire Center. The firm's work under this vehicle ranges from routine aircraft inspections valued at approximately $1,700 to complex exclusive-use airtanker operations valued in the tens of millions annually. With over 25 years of operational experience, Neptune provides essential emergency response infrastructure for the western United States during peak wildland fire periods, maintaining operational readiness through a combination of active firefighting services and planned aircraft maintenance and component repair activities.
