This federal contract IDV award to Aero Air, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Hillsboro, Oregon, is for the provision of aerial firefighting services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The parent contract, known as the "Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023" multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC), has a total ceiling value of $350,000,000 and runs through December 31, 2033. Under this IDV, Aero Air has been awarded several firm fixed price delivery orders for the exclusive use of its large airtankers, including 120-day and 160-day task orders valued at $39,028,462.50, $44,126,960.00, and $40,876,537.50.

The original solicitation for this IDV, posted in October 2022, indicated that it would be competed as a total small business set-aside to supplement existing airtanker contracts and provide critical aerial firefighting capabilities on a nationwide basis through 2032.
