About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $1.444 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery contract to Neptune Aviation Services, Inc., a woman-owned small business, on January 1, 2024, under a total small business set-aside designation. The contract extends through December 31, 2033.
The contract, titled Forest Service Airtanker Services 2023, covers large airtanker operations, air attack services, aircraft maintenance and repair, aerial fire retardant drops, aerial reconnaissance, smokejumper and cargo transport, and emergency aircraft recovery. Place of performance includes Missoula, Montana (headquarters and primary operations facility) and Boise, Idaho (secondary operational location for Next Gen 2.0 airtanker operations).
Neptune Aviation Services self-performs all work with no subcontractor engagement. The company operates the largest privately owned fleet of large airtankers in the United States and concentrates its federal customer base almost exclusively with the National Interagency Fire Center.
Recent delivery order activity reflects sustained demand. From June 2026 through August 2026, the National Interagency Fire Center issued Neptune Aviation at least 30 delivery orders under this IDIQ ranging from $35,889 to $1.198 million in individual ceiling values. Orders issued in early August 2026 included five delivery orders each valued between $996,163 and $1.167 million for completion by August 19, 2026 (Missoula, MT), and multiple longer-duration orders issued in June 2026 with December 31, 2030 completion dates for performance in Boise, Idaho. Earlier 2026 orders supported aircraft maintenance, aerial firefighting services, and air attack operations across both locations on firm fixed-price terms.
