Henrys Aerial Service Inc.

Henrys Aerial Service Inc., doing business as Henry's Aerial Service, operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Greenbrier, Arkansas, delivering single-engine scooper, single-engine air tanker, and amphibious scooping aircraft services for federal wildland fire suppression and wildfire management as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of awards). The vendor competes full-and-open without set-aside designation on most work, though it holds a $400 million total small business set-aside single-award IDIQ for Single Engine Air Tanker flight services running through April 2029.

Customer concentration is acute and deliberate. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region dominates the footprint, accounting for 63 of 81 awards and $1.3 billion in combined potential value (94% of award count, 100% of combined potential value). Secondary Interior customers — the Bureau of Indian Affairs Mid-West Region (5 awards, $2.3 million), the Departmental Offices Interior Business Center (3 awards, $23 million), and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office (2 awards, $2 million) — round out the federal customer set. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Northern Region contributes 3 awards valued at $2.8 million. This concentration reflects Henry's specialized role as the primary aerial firefighting platform for BLM's Idaho Region operations.

Henry's competitive position rests on two large indefinite-delivery vehicles. The $400 million total small business set-aside IDIQ for Single Engine Air Tanker flight services (awarded February 8, 2024, running through April 30, 2029) anchors the portfolio with recent delivery orders valued at $4.09 million (August 28, 2025) and $2.76 million (March 5, 2024) for on-call SEAT and amphibious services to BLM, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Forest Service. More recently, a $237.5 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract for Single Engine Scooper flight services (awarded February 25, 2026, running through April 30, 2031, full-and-open competition) generated a $1.57 million minimum-guarantee delivery order on the same award date. Five legacy IDIQs (IND14PC00105, 140D8019D0013, 140D8021D0012, IND16PC00124, IND12PC00423) carry a combined 45 task orders valued at approximately $60.5 million, representing completed or near-completion deliveries under prior vehicles.

Award activity has moderated in recent years — four awards in 2022, two each in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — but the cumulative portfolio ceiling of $1.34 billion reflects the scale of the underlying IDIQs rather than new competing wins. Only $96.9 million of the $1.34 billion combined potential value has been obligated to date (7%), underscoring that most of the portfolio represents option-period or renewal ceiling rather than active task order flow. Recent SCI-reportable federal service contracts show invoiced revenue of $16 million in FY2022, $11.5 million in FY2023, and $12.2 million in FY2024 across a fluctuating workforce of 19.9 FTEs (FY2022), 7.8 FTEs (FY2023), and 13.0 FTEs (FY2024), with government-paid hourly rates running from a 10th percentile of $204.86/hour to a median of $456.92/hour and a 90th percentile of $798.98/hour. Henry's delivers exclusively as a prime with zero subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable base.

The vendor's capability scope is tightly specialized — NAICS codes cluster on nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation (56 awards) and support activities for forestry (24 awards), with PSC-level work split between passenger air charter (52 awards) and forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (16 awards). Place of performance spans Greenbrier and Brinkley, Arkansas, with operational assets deployed across federal wildfire zones nationwide. This specialization has positioned Henry's as BLM's dominant single-source platform for aerial firefighting assets across its most active region, but it also anchors the vendor to a single customer and a narrow mission set.
