The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management awarded a delivery order valued at $60,033.74 to Minuteman Aviation Inc.

Minuteman Aviation, a Montana-based subchapter S corporation registered in the federal system since 1999, operates an extensive fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters and has established itself as a primary aviation support provider for federal land management agencies. The company's expertise in prescribed burn operations, aerial firefighting, cargo sling operations, and personnel transport across the U.S. Forest Service, National Interagency Fire Center, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and related agencies positions it well to execute this specialized mission. The company maintains multiple large parent IDV contracts totaling over $149 million across various federal agencies through 2033, enabling rapid deployment of helicopter assets for wildland fire management and natural resource operations.
