About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, awarded a $75 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Aero-Flite, Inc. for Call When Needed Water Scooper 2.0 (CWN Water Scooper 2.0) aerial firefighting services. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, was awarded on June 3, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. Aero-Flite, a foreign-owned aviation services provider headquartered in Spokane, Washington, will perform work from its base in Sunset Hill, Washington. The IDC enables NIFC to rapidly procure on-demand water scooping aircraft and associated aerial firefighting support to supplement agency resources during peak wildfire seasons. Water scooping aircraft fill critical operational gaps by providing rapid retardant delivery and fire suppression capabilities across federal and state jurisdictions in the Western United States, enhancing the agency's ability to respond to emergency wildfire conditions.
Since the initial IDC award in June 2021, NIFC has issued numerous delivery orders to Aero-Flite under this vehicle, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $288,000 to $2.3 million and performance periods typically concluding by June 2, 2025. Representative delivery orders issued in fiscal year 2024 and 2025 include contracts valued at $1.99 million, $2.03 million, $1.36 million, and multiple other orders in the $1 million to $1.6 million range, all priced on a firm-fixed-price basis. The services provided include aerial fire detection and mapping, water or fire retardant drops, smokejumper transport, air attack platform operations, and other specialized aviation support activities. All delivery orders carry no small business set-aside designation despite the parent IDC being set aside for small businesses, reflecting the established relationship and Aero-Flite's demonstrated capacity to deliver these mission-critical aerial firefighting assets and personnel to support federal and state wildland fire management operations.
