About the company
Guardian Aero, LLC, a small business based in Flora, Illinois, performs aerial application services—herbicide treatment, chemical suppression, and native seed distribution—for post-fire habitat restoration and invasive vegetation control on public lands managed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, operating exclusively as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides.
The vendor's footprint is nascent and concentrated. Three purchase orders totaling $153 thousand in combined potential value represent all known federal award activity, spanning the past eight months. Two awards flow to the BLM's Idaho Region ($67 thousand combined potential value) and one to the BLM's Montana-Dakotas Region ($85.5 thousand), accounting for 100% of identified customer concentration. The vendor's capability profile sits squarely in aerial application: a $22.05 thousand firm fixed-price order from the Idaho Region for GPS-guided aerial reseeding of 1,260 acres burned by the Rabbit Valley Fire in Mesa County, Colorado (completion date March 15, 2026), to distribute native plant seed mix at 11 pounds per acre using aircraft or drone technology; a $45 thousand order from the Idaho Region for aerial herbicide treatment to control cheatgrass on approximately 600 acres in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area and Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness in western Colorado (completion date October 20, 2025); and an $85.5 thousand order from the Montana-Dakotas Region for aerial chemical treatment targeting brome suppression along the Marias River in Montana (completion window September 29 to October 24, 2025). Work is classified under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and soil preparation codes. All three awards carry 100% obligated status, indicating full funding. The vendor holds no parent IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles and operates no documented subcontract relationships. Activity velocity is minimal: two awards in 2025, one in 2026 year-to-date.
