(doing business as Glacier Heli Tours) on March 17, 2026, for on-call small helicopter flight services supporting prescribed burn operations in Missoula, Montana. This contract award is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order under the parent Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract titled "On-Call Type III Helicopter Flight Services 2022-2027," a $49.5 million total small business set-aside multiple-award vehicle through the Department of the Interior. The small business set-aside designation reflects the government's preference for awarding work to qualified small business enterprises, and the contract carries an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026.

Under its larger Department of the Interior IDIQ, Minuteman Aviation has supported multiple federal agencies including the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Natural Resources Conservation Service, making it an established provider of specialized aviation assets for prescribed burn operations and related fire management activities.
