Aeronautical Technologies Inc.

Aeronautical Technologies Inc., based in Clovis, New Mexico, operates as a for-profit aviation services prime contractor specializing in single-engine air tanker (SEAT) flight services and wildland fire management support to federal land management agencies. The vendor holds a total small business set-aside posture on its largest vehicle and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders, with 100% of recent activity as prime awards.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and durable. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 45 of 143 awards (31% of total award count) and $887.8 million of $949.3 million in combined potential value (93.5% of dollars). The next four customer agencies — the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region (15 awards, $12.9 million), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (13 awards), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region (5 awards, $8.4 million), and the Department of the Interior Departmental Offices (4 awards, $6.5 million) — together account for only 37 awards and $27.8 million, demonstrating severe customer concentration on BLM Idaho Region wildfire suppression work. The ranking by award count and by potential value move in tandem; BLM Idaho Region dominates both dimensions.

Aeronautical Technologies Inc. holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (IND14PC00102) from BLM Idaho Region with a $400 million ceiling through April 30, 2029, set aside for total small business. This vehicle anchors the vendor's federal footprint. Recent task orders issued against this IDIQ include a March 30, 2026 firm fixed-price delivery order for $1,563,656.23 for SEAT flight services with completion targeted for April 30, 2026, and a June 18, 2026 delivery order for $13,597.53 with economic price adjustment, scheduled for completion April 30, 2027. The vendor also holds several secondary indefinite-delivery contracts under the Army Corps of Engineers (DACW6495D0006, 9 task orders valued at $7.6 million combined; DACW6492D0004, 4 task orders) and other parent vehicles, but none carry material dollar volume.

Award activity has been sparse outside the BLM Idaho Region relationship. Only three task orders were issued in 2024 and two in 2026; prior years averaged one award annually from 2020 through 2022. Combined obligated dollars stand at $75.6 million against $949.3 million in combined potential value (8% drawdown rate), reflecting the long-tail nature of SEAT service contracts and the IDIQ ceiling structure. The vendor's capability portfolio clusters in nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation (45 awards), support activities for forestry (37 awards), and soil preparation and planting services (20 awards), with secondary strength in aerial fertilization and spraying (30 awards) and aerial seeding (25 awards). Work is performed at Clovis, New Mexico, supporting wildland fire suppression and management for BLM, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Forest Service, and other federal and state agencies as called upon. No recompete pressure is visible in the next twenty-four months; only one award ($14 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within that window.
