About this vehicle
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region awarded a Master IDIQ for Single Engine Scooper Flight Services on February 25, 2026, with ordering authority extending through April 30, 2031. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $237.5 million and operates under unrestricted competition with no set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified contractors.
The vehicle contracts fully contractor-operated and maintained single-engine aircraft for wildfire suppression, 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 stringent technical requirements: Standard or Restricted Airworthiness Certificates under 14 CFR 23 or 25, minimum 1,600 Shaft Horsepower, 799 US gallon tank capacity, cruise airspeed of at least 140 knots, endurance of 2 hours and 30 minutes at specified loading conditions, and capability to operate from 5,000-foot gravel runways at high altitude and temperature conditions.
Four task orders totaling $1.6 million in potential value have been awarded since vehicle establishment, with all dollars obligated. Henry's Aerial Service Inc. holds the dominant position, accounting for $1.6 million of combined potential value across one order. G B Aerial Applications Inc., Boedeker Flying Service Inc., and Fletcher Flying Service Inc. each hold one order with $500 in combined potential value. Three of the four orders carry minimum guarantees of $500; the fourth, issued to Henry's Aerial Service Inc., is a minimum guarantee task order valued at $1.574 million. All orders are firm fixed price, unrestricted competition designations with ultimate completion dates of April 30, 2031. All awards to date fund BLM Idaho Region operations. With 4 years and 9 months of ordering authority remaining and a $237.5 million shared ceiling against $1.6 million obligated, the vehicle retains significant available capacity for future orders.
