About Choice Aviation LLC
Choice Aviation LLC, a small business headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, operates as a prime contractor providing wildland firefighting, wildlife survey, search and rescue, and disaster recovery services using fixed-wing aircraft and Type III helicopters to federal land management and emergency response agencies. The company is a subsidiary of R & R Conner Aviation, LLC, a woman-owned small business, and competes across both Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open procurement vehicles.
Choice Aviation's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), which accounts for 61 of 133 total awards (46% by count) and $77.9 million of $187.2 million in combined potential value (42% by dollars). The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center ranks second by dollars at $59.5 million across three IDV awards, while Fish and Wildlife Service regional offices and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service comprise the balance of the active customer base. The source data spans 133 awards from 2012 through February 2026, with strong volume through 2023 (25 awards) declining to single awards in 2025 and 2026, signaling a potential activity slowdown or portfolio shift.
Choice Aviation holds three substantive parent IDVs: a $48 million National Light Fixed Wing Services multiple-award IDIQ with NIFC (awarded January 2024, running through December 2033, set-aside Total Small Business); a $49.5 million On-Call Type III Helicopter Flight Services multiple-award IDIQ with the Department of the Interior Interior Business Center (awarded May 2022, running through April 2027, set-aside Total Small Business); and a $9.98 million On-Call Fixed Wing Aircraft Rental Agreement BPA with Interior Business Center (awarded March 2023, running through December 2027, set-aside Total Small Business). Delivery orders placed against these vehicles dominate the award footprint. Representative recent work includes a $178,485 firm fixed-price delivery order for wildland firefighting support from NIFC (awarded February 23, 2026, completing December 31, 2029) under the NLFW MATOC-R08 vehicle, a $165,719.62 fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment order from NIFC for aerial firefighting (August 2024), and a $26,165.90 BPA call from USDA NRCS West Region for compliance flights (May 2024). Smaller BPA calls for aircraft rental supporting wildlife surveys and wild horse census flights with Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management run $2,000 to $26,000 per award.
Performance takes place in Hamilton, Montana (company headquarters) and subordinate sites across the western United States, including Yellowstone National Park, Miles City, and Anaconda, Montana, reflecting the geographic scope of Forest Service and Department of the Interior operations. The category concentration by NAICS shows 102 awards under Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation and 29 under Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation; by PSC, 69 awards are coded to Passenger Air Charter and 62 to Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. All 133 awards are prime contracts; the source reports zero subcontract activity. Three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $294 thousand), creating limited near-term recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated stand at $4.4 million against $187.2 million in potential value, indicating that most of the vehicle ceilings remain unexercised.
