Flying A Flight Service Inc.

Flying A Flight Service Inc. is a woman-owned small business and Subchapter S Corporation specializing in aerial firefighting and aviation services for federal government agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company provides critical light fixed-wing aircraft services primarily to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The company's primary operational focus is delivering comprehensive aerial support for wildland fire management, including air attack operations, aerial reconnaissance, personnel and cargo transport, and command and control functions across the western United States.

The company's federal contract awards demonstrate a specialized expertise in aerial firefighting support services. Flying A Flight Service Inc. has been awarded numerous delivery order contracts ranging from $32,823 to $6,065,064, consistently focusing on providing light fixed-wing aircraft for wildfire suppression efforts. Most contracts have been awarded by the NIFC without specific set-aside designations, though some contracts were designated for total small businesses. The delivery orders typically involve providing aircraft and qualified personnel to support fire management operations, including aerial supervision, fire support, project monitoring, law enforcement, and administrative flights. Performance locations have primarily been in California regions like San Bernardino, Deer Park, and Santa Maria, with operations conducted at altitudes between 1,000-3,500 feet and aircraft speeds of 120-150 knots.

Flying A Flight Service Inc. holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the NIFC, with the most significant being a $73,010,000 multiple-award contract for national light fixed-wing services running through December 2033. These IDVs include a single-award contract valued at $3,288,540 for air attack and supervision services, and another single-award contract at $3,000,000 for aerial firefighting support. The company also maintains a $2,954,315.69 Basic Ordering Agreement that provides flexibility for rapid procurement of aerial firefighting services during fire seasons. These contract vehicles are predominantly set aside for small businesses and allow the company to issue task orders for a range of aerial firefighting services, supporting emergency response efforts across the Forest Service's national network of bases. The IDVs consistently emphasize the company's core competency in providing light fixed-wing aircraft for comprehensive wildland fire management support.
