The U.S. Department of the Interior awarded a delivery order valued at $10,000 to Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments, Inc. (CATG) on March 9, 2026, for Alaska Wildland Fire Hand Crew Services with a minimum guarantee provision. This delivery order falls under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for Alaska Type 2 Wildland Fire Hand Crew Services, through which the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management procures trained wildland fire suppression crews. The contract, which is time-and-materials priced and carries no socioeconomic set-aside designation, will be performed in Fort Yukon, Alaska, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2031.

CATG is a tribally-owned, non-profit organization and Native American-owned business that serves as a consortium of ten self-governing Athabascan tribes in Alaska. The organization has established itself as a premier provider of wildland fire hand crew services, with previous delivery orders under the fire crew services contract ranging from $38,457 to $495,000. Under this award, CATG will provide trained Type 2 hand crews to conduct wildfire suppression, containment, and mitigation activities, including manual labor tasks such as constructing fire breaks, extinguishing fires, and post-fire cleanup operations across western United States public lands.
