About this IDV
The federal contract IDV award is for the Next Generation Large Airtanker Services 3.0 program, a $100 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract led by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency. The contract aims to procure exclusive use of next-generation turbine-powered fixed-wing large airtankers, including Lockheed P-3 Orion and Electra models, to support wildfire suppression operations nationwide. The prime contractor, Aero Air, LLC, is a for-profit limited liability company based in Hillsboro, Oregon that specializes in aerial firefighting services. The contract does not have a small business set-aside, with performance primarily taking place out of Boise, Idaho. The task orders awarded to date, ranging from $4 million to $8.5 million, provide firm fixed-price delivery of these large airtanker services over performance periods extending through December 2025. This contract is part of the Forest Service's broader efforts to modernize and enhance its aerial firefighting capabilities.
Under the $100 million Next Generation Large Airtanker Services 3.0 IDIQ, the NIFC has awarded multiple delivery orders to Aero Air, LLC for the exclusive use of next-generation large airtankers. These firm fixed-price contracts, valued at up to $8.5 million each, task Aero Air with providing turbine-powered aircraft like the Lockheed P-3 Orion and Electra to support wildland fire suppression operations throughout the United States. The IDIQ was originally solicited as a small business set-aside, with a focus on increasing the availability and capabilities of large airtankers for the Forest Service's firefighting efforts.
