About this IDV
Bridger Air Tanker LLC, a limited liability company based in Belgrade, Montana, was awarded a $75 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center on June 3, 2021, designated as the CWN Water Scooper 2.0 contract with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This total small business set-aside indefinite delivery vehicle enables the Forest Service to rapidly issue delivery orders for specialized aerial firefighting services to support wildland fire management operations across multiple jurisdictions. The original pre-solicitation, posted in November 2020, sought aircraft capable of delivering water or fire retardant on wildfires from Forest Service bases nationwide, with proposals evaluated on technical approach, past performance in aerial firefighting missions, and pricing. Bridger Air Tanker operates from its Belgrade, Montana location and provides the specialized aviation assets and personnel required to execute the contract requirements.
Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, Bridger Air Tanker has received numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling millions of dollars since the contract's award, with order values ranging from approximately $100,000 to over $2.6 million for individual task orders. The contracted services include air tanker flights for fire retardant delivery, aerial supervision operations, and command and control support during active wildfire incidents. All delivery orders issued to date specify December 31, 2025, as the ultimate completion date and are priced on a firm fixed-price basis without small business set-asides, indicating open market competition for individual task orders. These delivery orders demonstrate the contract's critical role in providing on-call aerial firefighting capacity to the federal government, enabling the Forest Service and partnering agencies to deploy specialized aircraft assets in response to wildfire suppression and management requirements throughout the fire season.
