Susanville Aviation LLC

Susanville Aviation LLC, doing business as Susanville Aviation, provides fixed-wing aircraft rental and fire suppression support services to federal land management agencies as a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing under Total Small Business set-asides. Based in Susanville, California, the vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with all seven recent awards spanning a $18.6 million combined potential value over the past four years.

The vendor's customer footprint concentrates on two principal Interior and Agriculture stakeholders. The Department of the Interior Interior Business Center (1 award, $10 million) and the National Interagency Fire Center under the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (4 awards, $8.4 million) together represent 100% of recent award volume and potential value; the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region and Oregon-Washington Region round out the customer base with two additional awards totaling $276 thousand. The two customer rankings align closely, reflecting the vendor's singular operational focus.

Susanville Aviation holds position on two parent vehicles anchoring its federal work. A multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract issued by the National Interagency Fire Center on May 28, 2026—the National Light Fixed Wing Services contract carrying an $8 million ceiling through December 31, 2033—has generated 3 task orders totaling $372 thousand in combined potential value. A multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement issued by the Interior Business Center on January 1, 2023, for on-call fixed-wing aircraft rental (ceiling $9.98 million, completion December 31, 2027) has generated 2 task orders totaling $275 thousand. Representative work includes a $358,141 Region 5 Forest Health Protection light fixed-wing delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center running through December 31, 2028; a $225,662 BPA call from the Department of the Interior Idaho Region for lower 48 fire suppression aircraft rental through December 31, 2026; and a $49,500 BPA call from the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region for Lakeview cattle compliance flights through December 1, 2026.

Activity has accelerated recently—one award in 2023 followed by six awards in 2026—but recompete exposure is modest: two awards carrying $275 thousand in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months. Capability concentration is narrow: all seven awards code to nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation (NAICS), with most work split between forest-range fire suppression and passenger air charter services. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint and operates without parent-company relationships in the source record.
