AIR CARGO CARRIERS, LLC

AIR CARGO CARRIERS, LLC specializes in maintenance, inspection, and operational support services for specialized aircraft used in federal wildland fire and forest management operations. The contractor provides critical aviation sustainment for the U.S. Forest Service’s SD3-60 Sherpa fleet and other Wildland Firefighting Aircraft, delivering scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, airframe inspections, system diagnostics, and compliance-driven service workflows under IDIQ contracts. Their technical expertise includes turboprop aircraft systems, avionics calibration, structural integrity assessments, and adherence to FAA and USDA aviation safety protocols, with a demonstrated focus on mission-critical readiness in austere environments. Their ability to execute rapid-response maintenance under time-sensitive operational constraints distinguishes them as a trusted provider for agencies requiring uninterrupted aerial firefighting support. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-term relationship with the Department of Agriculture, primarily supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s aerial firefighting mission through recurring aircraft sustainment tasks. Their work is tightly aligned with wildfire response cycles, indicating deep integration into federal emergency preparedness frameworks. A single contract with the Department of Transportation suggests limited but credible engagement with broader federal transportation infrastructure support. Their primary industry focus is Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (NAICS 488190), which in practice means specialized aviation logistics, ground handling, and technical servicing for government-owned or -operated aircraft not covered by standard commercial airline maintenance contracts. They occupy a niche position supporting federal wildfire and natural resource management aviation fleets, distinguishing themselves through mission-specific expertise rather than broad commercial aviation services. AIR CARGO CARRIERS, LLC is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company holds no formal government certifications but maintains a focused, geographically centered presence in the federal aviation support market, serving critical national security and environmental response missions through specialized technical proficiency.
