The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded Aeronautical Technologies Inc., a for-profit aviation firm based in Alaska, a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract worth up to $400 million to provide nationwide single-engine air tanker (SEAT) flight services in support of federal wildland fire management programs. The contract, which has a performance period through April 2029, was set aside for small businesses. Under this IDIQ, the BLM has issued multiple delivery orders to Aeronautical Technologies Inc. for on-call and exclusive-use SEAT services, with firm fixed price contract values ranging from $180,000 to $1.8 million. These delivery orders support wildland fire suppression and management efforts across the lower 48 states, with performance primarily based out of Clovis, New Mexico. The original solicitation, which was open to total small businesses, sought proposals for a hybrid contract combining on-call and exclusive-use SEAT capabilities to meet the BLM's nationwide requirements for aerial firefighting assets.
