This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Region to New Frontier Aviation, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Fort Benton, Montana. The $400 million single-award IDC, awarded as a total small business set-aside, allows the DOI-BLM, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Forest Service, and other federal and state agencies to rapidly issue firm fixed-price task orders for on-call and exclusive use Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) aircraft to support wildfire response efforts on federal and tribal lands across the western United States. Under this IDC, the DOI-BLM has issued several substantial delivery orders to New Frontier Aviation, including a $9.3 million order for SEAT services in Ronan, Montana, and an $11.1 million order for services in Tooele, Utah. These delivery orders provide SEAT exclusive use flight services to support wildland fire suppression activities in those locations, with periods of performance typically running through April 2029. The IDC and associated task orders demonstrate New Frontier Aviation's capability to deliver large-scale, flexible aerial firefighting support to multiple agencies across a wide geographic area.
