AI Contract Overview
The USDA Forest Service’s Incident Support Branch at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, is preparing to procure and install retardant delivery systems for up to three P-3B/C Orion aircraft owned by the Forest Service. Each system must have a retardant tank capacity of at least 2,500 gallons, aligned with the aircraft’s load-carrying capabilities and safely conforming to weight and balance limits as well as structural load requirements. The system will be a new, externally mounted gravity flow design, built to a serviceable lifespan of no less than 20 years. The project encompasses the design, analysis, installation, and testing needed to convert the aircraft for wildland firefighting use with minimal impact on the aircraft’s original functionality. Critical to the installation is ensuring that aircraft environmental systems, including fuselage pressurization, remain fully operational and that the airframe retains the ability to revert to its original configuration after tank removal without requiring major structural modification. The presence of the retardant delivery system must not reduce the aircraft’s OEM speed restrictions by more than 10%, and the aircraft must be able to maintain a minimum speed of 240 knots indicated airspeed with the system installed. This procurement is listed as a total small business set-aside under solicitation number AG-024B-S-07-0006, with associated contacts available for further coordination.
