About the company
Orbic Air, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Burbank, California, operates as a prime contractor providing Type 1 helicopter support services exclusively to federal wildland fire management agencies. The company competes full-and-open on delivery orders under its two parent indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center; neither IDV nor the delivery orders carry set-aside designations.
Orbic Air's federal footprint is narrowly focused and deep. The company holds two active parent vehicles with the National Interagency Fire Center: a $50 million multiple-award contract (Type 1 Helicopter Support Services 2025-2034, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2034) and a $5.25 million single-award contract running through December 31, 2024. Across these vehicles, Orbic Air has received 90 awards (51 delivery orders under the 2025-2034 IDIQ and 37 under the prior $5.25 million contract) with a combined potential value of $104.5 million and $49.3 million obligated to date. The company's three concrete recent task orders illustrate its core capability: a $1.27 million delivery order (August 1, 2026) for Type 1 helicopter support at Burbank for wildland fire management; an $929.6 million delivery order (August 16, 2026) for aerial firefighting operations; and a $1.14 million delivery order (June 24, 2026) issued through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service supporting the Department of the Interior fire suppression mission in Winkelman, Arizona.
Customer concentration is extreme and represents both strategic positioning and recompete risk. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, accounts for 89 of 90 awards (98.9%) and $103.4 million of the $104.5 million combined potential value. A single order to the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region for $1.14 million constitutes the only exposure outside NIFC. This concentration means Orbic Air's federal revenue flows almost entirely from one agency operating a single product line — Type 1 helicopter chartering and support services for fire suppression operations.
Activity has scaled sharply year over year, from one award in 2022 to 35 in 2026 (through September). This trajectory reflects NIFC's reliance on Orbic Air's specialized fleet for surge capacity during the wildfire season. However, the recompete profile shows minimal near-term exposure: only one award ($1.1 million) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, meaning Orbic Air's backlog is heavily weighted toward 2027–2029 deliveries.
Orbic Air performs all contracted work directly from its Burbank facility without subcontractor engagement. The company specializes in comprehensive aviation solutions — aerial firefighting, emergency response support, and aviation management assistance — delivered exclusively through federal contract. Pricing is uniformly firm fixed price, and the vendor's only geographic exception is one delivery order executed in Fresno, California under a total small business set-aside for $8.98 million (May 6, 2025).
The vendor's federal identity is monolithic: 90 awards across NAICS 532411 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation) and PSC codes aligned with forest-range fire suppression. Orbic Air has no subcontract footprint and no teaming relationships documented in this source.
