About this IDV
The Bureau of Land Management awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Bighorn Airways Inc. for $10 million on April 1, 2025, providing exclusive-use high-wing multiengine turboprop flight services for smokejumper operations in support of the Aviation Fire Service at Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska. The contract runs through March 31, 2027.
Performance occurs at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, with operations supporting smokejumper transport, paracargo operations, reconnaissance, search and rescue, and resource management activities. The solicitation required a contractor-operated and maintained aircraft meeting specific technical specifications: Standard Airworthiness Certificate, VFR/IFR certification, minimum 19 passenger seats, 85-knot stall speed, and ability to operate from 3,500-foot runways. The contract procures an IDIQ structure with fixed unit prices and economic price adjustment provisions for aircraft insurance, with an estimated exclusive-use period of 120 calendar days annually from May through August.
Under NAICS 115310, the procurement was unrestricted and competed among small and large businesses. A bilateral modification added FAR 52.222-90 and updated federal compliance guidance, eliminating non-statutory sustainability requirements per Executive Order 14398.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle. On May 1, 2025, the Idaho Region awarded a $1,958,736.73 order for smokejumper flight services with completion by October 27, 2025, using DHC-8 aircraft N990BH. On March 17, 2026, a second order valued at $2,917,184 was awarded for the same aircraft and mission, with completion targeted for October 15, 2026.
