About the company
Aero Spray Inc., a Minnesota-based aerial firefighting specialist, provides exclusive-use and on-call amphibious single-engine water scooping aircraft and pilot services to the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designations. The company operates as a subsidiary of Aero Spray Acquisition Company and competes entirely as a prime, with zero subcontract engagement across its federal portfolio.
Aero Spray's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Interior Department's wildland fire suppression mission. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 50 awards (75% of the award count and 86% of combined potential value, $567.1 million), anchored by a $237.5 million single-award IDIQ for on-call single-engine scooper flight services through April 30, 2031, and a $30.1 million single-award IDIQ for exclusive-use fixed-wing scooper services in Alaska through March 31, 2030. The Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region (16 awards, $40.7 million), Mid-West Region (12 awards, $19.1 million), and Western Region (3 awards, $8 million) together account for the remainder of material activity. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region and Departmental Offices account for the remaining volume. The top five customer entities account for 75% of awards and 98% of combined potential value.
Work is grounded in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry, 36 awards) and 488190 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation, 59 awards); PSC coding splits across passenger and freight air charter (76 awards under PSC Q2GA) and forest-range fire suppression (39 awards). Recent representative delivery orders include a $4.834 million exclusive-use scooper task order with DOI Idaho Region for Fort Wainwright, Alaska (awarded May 1, 2026, completion October 15, 2026), a $1.415 million exclusive-use scooper task order with DOI Northwest Region for Deer Park, Washington (awarded June 1, 2026, completion September 26, 2026), and a $648,500 exclusive-use scooper task order with DOI Mid-West Region for Bemidji, Minnesota (awarded March 4, 2026, completion June 26, 2026). The BLM on-call amphibious single-engine air tanker 2016–2021 vehicle and IDIQs 140D8021D0009 and 140D8021D0015 are the primary parent vehicles carrying multiple task orders, with 140D8021D0009 alone carrying five orders totaling $36.9 million.
Activity is steady at 4–6 awards annually over the past five years, with 118 total prime awards across the source data window carrying combined potential value of $655.2 million and obligated dollars of $143 million (22% of potential value). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $6.2 million), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (FY2022–FY2024), Aero Spray invoiced $86.7 million ($27.8 million in FY2022, $37.2 million in FY2023, $21.6 million in FY2024), with government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts clustering around a median of $219.37/hr, ranging from $218.98/hr (10th percentile) to $250.76/hr (90th percentile). The SCI dataset records 59.4 FTEs in FY2022, 80.0 FTEs in FY2023, and 44.7 FTEs in FY2024 on six to seven prime service contracts per fiscal year; zero subcontract hours are reported, confirming Aero Spray builds delivery teams internally and does not lean on subcontractors.
