About this IDV
The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Henry's Aerial Service for $237.5 million on February 25, 2026, for single-engine scooper flight services supporting federal wildland fire suppression operations.
Henry's Aerial Service is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Greenbrier, Arkansas, operating exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor engagement. The contract runs through April 30, 2031, under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation.
The solicitation, posted June 24, 2025, sought on-call single-engine scooper aircraft capable of scooping water from natural sources or loading at ground locations and dispensing water, wetting agents, and chemical fire retardants as directed by the government. Aircraft must meet 14 CFR 23 or 25 airworthiness standards, carry minimum 799-gallon tank capacity, maintain 140-knot cruise speed, operate from 5,000-foot gravel runways, and deliver 2.5 hours endurance under specified load conditions. The procurement falls under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry).
Place of performance is Greenbrier, Arkansas. On February 25, 2026, the same award date, BLM issued a firm fixed-price delivery order to Henry's with a $6.2 million ceiling for single-engine scooper and amphibious scooping services under this IDIQ. This was a minimum-guarantee task order. The delivery order extends through April 30, 2031.
