About this award
Guardian Aero, LLC was awarded a $22,050 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region on January 14, 2026 to conduct aerial reseeding operations on 1,260 acres burned by the Rabbit Valley Fire in Mesa County, Colorado. Under this Total Small Business set-aside contract, the contractor will distribute 13,900 pounds of native plant seed mix—including squirreltail, ricegrass, saltbush, yarrow, flax, wheatgrass, and bluegrass—at a rate of 11 pounds per acre using GPS-guided aircraft or drone technology. Work is scheduled for completion by March 15, 2026, with seeding operations to be conducted when at least one inch of sustainable snow has accumulated on the ground to optimize seed germination and restoration outcomes.
The solicitation, posted by the National Interagency Fire Center on December 22, 2025, required contractors to equip aircraft with differential GPS guidance systems and submit technical capability and past performance documentation alongside pricing proposals. Guardian Aero's selection reflects the contractor's demonstrated ability to execute specialized aerial application services necessary for post-fire habitat restoration on public lands managed by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management, which oversees millions of acres across the western United States.
