Indefinite Delivery Contract 140D8121D0024

The U.S. Department of the Interior awarded Shadow Aviation, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Fairbanks, Alaska, a $20 million multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for on-call fixed-wing flight services to support various Interior agencies operating across Alaska's remote regions. Under this IDIQ, Shadow Aviation has received numerous delivery orders to provide aerial transportation, wildlife surveys, scientific data collection, land management activities, and emergency response missions for Interior bureaus such as the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The contract allows these agencies to rapidly acquire flexible aviation support as operational needs arise in Alaska's challenging terrain. In addition to the IDIQ, Shadow Aviation holds a $7.5 million basic ordering agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to provide aviation support for wildland fire management operations in Alaska.

The delivery orders issued against Shadow Aviation's IDIQ cover a wide range of services, including moose, Dall sheep, and brown bear population surveys, stream gage maintenance, vegetation monitoring, and other scientific research and land management activities. The orders are primarily fixed-price with economic price adjustment to account for fuel cost fluctuations, and do not utilize small business set-asides, demonstrating Shadow Aviation's competitiveness in providing these specialized aviation services. The contracted services are delivered from Fairbanks, Alaska and other locations across the state to support the Interior Department's mission-critical operations in Alaska's national parks, preserves, and wildlife refuges.
