Mountain Air Spray CO.

Mountain Air Spray CO., a for-profit small business based in Craig, Colorado, provides fixed-wing aerial application and seeding services to federal land management and wildlife control agencies as a prime contractor across 293 awards, with no subcontract footprint. The company competes primarily full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations on most delivery orders, though recent indefinite delivery contracts are explicitly reserved for small businesses.

Mountain Air Spray CO. specializes in aerial services for vegetation management, predator control, and post-fire land restoration. The vendor's capability portfolio spans herbicide and pesticide application, aerial seeding of fire-damaged acreage, and fixed-wing aircraft charter for federal missions across the western United States. Representative work includes a $600 thousand single-award IDV from USDA APHIS Wildlife Services running through December 2028 for fixed-wing aircraft services supporting predator management in northwestern Colorado, with a $56,680 task order delivered against it in 2024; a $382,200 single-award IDC from USDA APHIS awarded in May 2025 for aerial treatment of Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket populations across six western states (Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah) through April 2027; and a $81,900 delivery order from USDA Wildlife Services awarded January 15, 2026 for fixed-wing aircraft services with ultimate completion December 31, 2026. Aerial seeding work for the Bureau of Land Management includes multiple small purchase orders for fire rehabilitation, such as $26,750 for West Fire seeding (1,000 acres), $12,052 for Duffy Mountain seeding (1,516 acres), and $91,600 for East Troublesome Creek Fire restoration (8,000 acres).

Customer concentration is split between land-management and wildlife control work. The Department of Agriculture APHIS Wildlife Services leads by potential value (23 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), while the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region drives volume (64 awards, $896 thousand combined potential value). Together these two customers account for approximately 73% of the vendor's combined potential value across the portfolio. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office (19 awards, $561 thousand) ranks third but represents facility-leasing work outside the vendor's core aerial-services footprint. The vendor holds five named parent vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreements GS08B13586 (53 task orders, $14 thousand combined) and GS08B14173 (48 task orders, $1.3 million combined), and Blanket Purchase Agreements INL14PA00226 (19 task orders, $339 thousand), IND80ARA3675 (10 task orders), and INL09PA00303 (8 task orders, $20 thousand).

Activity has declined from four awards per year in 2023 to one award year-to-date in 2026. The vendor's top NAICS codes are Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating (62 awards); Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (58 awards); and Support Activities for Forestry (47 awards). Top PSC codes center on Natural Resources/Conservation work: Aerial Seeding (42 awards), Aerial Fertilization/Spraying (38 awards), and Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (30 awards). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $82 thousand), presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the 293-award portfolio stands at $6.5 million, with $3.3 million obligated to date.
