About this IDV
The Department of the Interior, acting through the Interior Business Center, established a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Owyhee Air Research LLC, a small business, on January 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $9,982,083 and a completion date of December 31, 2027, for on-call fixed-wing aircraft rental services.
This is a multiple-award BPA designated as a total small business set-aside. Performance occurs at Owyhee Air Research's location in Nampa, Idaho, with aircraft operations and services deployed nationwide and in Alaska to support federal land management, wildlife monitoring, and resource survey missions.
The BPA is intended to provide on-call aircraft rental capacity for resource agencies across the Department of the Interior, including the U.S. Geological Survey, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service. All BPA calls are issued on a firm fixed-price basis.
Since award, the BPA has generated substantial ordering activity spanning multiple Interior bureaus and missions. Recent calls include a $60,588.84 award to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 on March 10, 2026, for polar bear surveys in the Chukchi region near Kotzebue, Alaska; a $11,200.67 call from the USGS Alaska Science Center on March 11, 2026, for Lower 48 flight services; and a $150,000 award to the Bureau of Land Management California Region on August 6, 2025, for Greater Sage Grouse infrared lek surveys. Additional notable calls include $158,006.58 for USGS sea otter surveys in southcentral Alaska (May 30, 2025), $58,725.26 for National Park Service moose population surveys (May 27, 2025), and multiple Bureau of Land Management calls for wild horse infrared surveys in Wyoming ranging from $17,417.88 to $221,854.91 (October 13, 2024). Cumulative ordering across the vehicle reflects sustained reliance on Owyhee Air Research's specialized aerial survey capacity for federal environmental and wildlife management operations.
