About the company
Butler Aircraft CO., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Walla Walla, Washington, operates as a prime contractor providing fixed-wing aircraft services and air-support logistics for wildland fire management and resource conservation programs, competing exclusively under small-business set-asides. The company is a subsidiary of Howdy Aviation LLC, a for-profit partnership headquartered in Prineville, Oregon, and operates under NAICS codes spanning nonscheduled chartered freight and passenger air transportation (481211, 481212) alongside aircraft maintenance and support-services categories.
Butler Aircraft's federal footprint is concentrated in wildfire and natural-resource management through two primary customer agencies: the Department of the Interior accounts for 89% of combined potential value through a $18.6 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded September 15, 2026, for on-call fixed-wing flight services supporting the Interior's Office of Aviation Services across fire and resource management, law enforcement support, and general transportation activities in Alaska; and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 11% through three awards totaling $1.3 million from the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center for call-when-needed and light fixed-wing aircraft operations supporting wildland fire management, plus four smaller awards ($32 thousand combined) from the Forest Service's R6-Pacific Northwest Region. Work is performed in Alaska and Prineville, Oregon.
Butler Aircraft operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no documented subcontract activity. The company holds a single-award IDC with USDA NIFC (ceiling $1 million, expired March 2024) from which a $3,880.50 delivery order was issued in September 2022 for wildfire-support operations in Prineville. Activity is episodic — one award in 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2022, followed by one in 2026 — and recent obligations total $487 thousand against combined potential value of $22.5 million. The parent company, Howdy Aviation LLC, is identified in USDA NIFC contract documentation as expected to serve as a major subcontractor, though no separate federal awards are documented under the parent vendor name.
