About this award
This delivery order, awarded to DAR Schmid Pilot Services LLC on March 1, 2026, provides on-call smokejumper pilot services to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Region through February 28, 2029. The contract is valued at $249,000 and employs firm fixed-price pricing with no set-aside designation. DAR Schmid Pilot Services LLC will provide a pilot in command to operate a Twin Otter DHC-6-300 aircraft for transporting smokejumper firefighters to remote wildfire locations throughout Idaho. This delivery order falls under a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a $1.253 million ceiling that was awarded to the contractor on March 1, 2025, with a 100% small business set-aside designation, enabling the BLM to access specialized aviation services on an on-call basis to support regional wildland fire management and emergency response operations.
DAR Schmid Pilot Services LLC, a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Boise, Idaho, specializes in providing aviation services exclusively to federal agencies, particularly the BLM. The company maintains an active status in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) as a federal contractor and has demonstrated competitive positioning in the federal marketplace through multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $191,000 to $249,000. The contractor's expertise in operating specialized aircraft for wildland fire operations makes it a critical resource for the BLM's smokejumper program, which relies on rapid deployment capabilities to respond to wildfires across the western United States.
