About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Aero Air, LLC with a ceiling of $1.44 billion on January 1, 2024, under the Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023 (AERO AIR - AIRTANKER MATCO 2023) program. This is a multiple-award, small-business set-aside vehicle set aside for Total Small Business with performance extending through December 31, 2033.
Aero Air, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, operates a fleet of turbine-powered fixed-wing aircraft—primarily Lockheed P-3 Orion and Electra models—delivering exclusive-use and call-when-needed large airtanker aerial firefighting services including aerial fire retardant drops, reconnaissance, cargo transport, and personnel transport in support of federal wildland fire suppression operations. The company performs work on a 100% prime basis with no subcontractor engagement at primary operational bases in Hillsboro, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho.
The originating pre-solicitation was posted October 7, 2022, with a due date of January 13, 2023, for large airtanker services supporting federal wildland fire management. Recent delivery order activity spans May 2024 through August 2026, including several large exclusive-use orders: $53.02 million (May 2024, 160-day map), $46.23 million (July 2024, 120-day map), $45.51 million (May 2024, 160-day map), and $40.43 million (May 2024, 120-day map). Since mid-2025, smaller call-when-needed orders have predominated, ranging from $28,143 to approximately $1.05 million, issued under both Total Small Business and non-set-aside designations. Task orders carry firm fixed-price structures with completion dates typically within 10 to 160 calendar days depending on exclusive-use versus call-when-needed scope.
