Indefinite Delivery Contract 140D0426D0020

Golden Eagle Outfitters, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Kotzebue, Alaska, was awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $18.6 million by the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2031. The contract provides fixed-wing on-call flight services to support Department of the Interior operations across Alaska's remote regions, with a Total Small Business set-aside designation. Primary funding agencies include the National Park Service Alaska Region, U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center, Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Services encompass wildlife monitoring and population surveys, environmental research and scientific data collection, stream gage maintenance and hydrological monitoring, law enforcement patrols and support operations, emergency extractions and rescue operations, cargo transport and logistical support, and general field activity support. The contractor operates a fleet of fixed-wing aircraft compliant with Federal Aviation Administration certifications under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 or 135 standards and serves as a critical transportation provider where conventional transportation methods are impractical in Alaska's challenging terrain.

The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on August 18, 2025, sought multiple award indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contract services for fire and resource management activities, law enforcement support, general transportation, and special use flights, explicitly excluding direct fire suppression or tactical fire support aircraft operations. The procurement was structured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 481211 for nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation, with anticipated solicitation release on September 1, 2025, and a five-year ordering period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031. Individual delivery orders issued under the contract have historically ranged from approximately $2,970 to $459,103, with flexibility enabling Department of the Interior bureaus to rapidly procure aviation support on an on-demand basis without requiring separate competitive solicitations for each mission requirement.
