The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Desert Air Transport Inc., doing business as A+ Desertair Alaska, for fixed-wing on-call flight services in Alaska. The $20 million IDC, set aside for small businesses, has an ultimate completion date of March 2026. Under this contract, A+ Desertair Alaska provides critical aerial support for the BLM's wildland fire management and emergency response missions across Alaska's public lands. The company, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, specializes in fixed-wing aircraft services including pilot training, firefighting, and logistical assistance. The BLM has issued several delivery orders against the IDC, ranging from $22,000 to $62,000, for A+ Desertair Alaska to supply aircraft, pilots, and operational support for emergency fire response and other critical missions in the Alaskan region. These fixed-price with economic price adjustment contracts demonstrate the agency's reliance on the contractor's capabilities to quickly mobilize aerial resources as needed. In addition to firefighting, A+ Desertair Alaska has also been awarded a separate FAA contract to provide specialized pilot training services, showcasing its expertise across various aviation domains.
