Fixed Wing Charter - Old Crow Cargo Haul for Government of Yukon
Solicitation # RFB-2026-8-5542
The Government of Yukon is soliciting bids for a fixed-wing charter service to transport 40 liquid deicer filled totes, each weighing 2,200 lbs, from Whitehorse to Old Crow, Yukon. The contractor is also required to backhaul approximately 7,000 kgs of contained contaminated material from Old Crow back to Whitehorse. This mission must be completed in 15 or fewer flights and finalized no later than October 31, 2026. The project is located within the Traditional Territory of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation. Technical requirements specify that the aircraft must be capable of landing on a 5,000 ft unpaved gravel airstrip and operating in temperatures as low as -35 Celsius. While initial documents listed a minimum weight capacity of 10,200 kgs, Addendum No. 1 corrected this requirement to a minimum payload capacity of 4,200 kgs. Aircrew must meet Class II flying requirements, and the contractor must provide all positioning, ground handling, fuel, and lubricants. The relocation of contaminated material further requires a waste manifest and a permit from the Standards and Approvals Department Environment. The contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder based on lump sum pricing for the primary haul and backhaul, plus a provisional cost sum of 75,000.00 Canadian dollars. Evaluation includes a performance and weight/balance assessment to ensure safety. Bidders may receive value-based rewards for Yukon First Nation business ownership, location, and labor. Mandatory compliance includes the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Act, the Financial Administration Act (Yukon), and the maintenance of Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least 2,000,000.00 dollars per occurrence with the Government of Yukon named as an additional insured.

The agency is seeking information on helicopter hoist operations and medical services, including Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS), to extract patients from remote environments and wildland fires.

This acquisition aims to secure multiple Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for contractor-operated and maintained turbine-powered, multi-engine, amphibious, fixed-wing water scooping aircraft that hold full or interim approval from the Interagency Airtanker Board. These aircraft will be primarily utilized for initial and extended attack operations against wildland fires, ensuring rapid response and effective fire suppression across federal lands.

Aviation Contracting Industry Day
Solicitation # SN-AV-2026-02
The U.S. Forest Service, under the Department of Agriculture, is preparing for the solicitation of aviation services in support of wildland fire operations through the issuance of Solicitation SN-AV-2026-02, with a pre-solicitation Industry Day event scheduled for May 12, 2026, at Jack’s Urban Meeting Place in Boise, Idaho. The event aims to engage industry stakeholders, including partner agencies such as the Department of the Interior, to discuss contracting approaches, performance metrics, and operational expectations for wildland fire aviation support. Key areas of focus include safety management systems, aircraft availability, mechanical reliability, maintenance program quality, crew qualifications, staffing stability, and financial sustainability, with an emphasis on moving away from Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methods toward a best-value trade-off approach that prioritizes mission effectiveness. Economic price adjustments will be tied to Bureau of Labor Statistics data and original equipment manufacturer cost trends, with no proposed caps, while small business participation is strongly encouraged through potential set-asides. Contract terms under consideration include a 3-to-5-year base period with options extending up to 10 years total, standardized standby and fuel reimbursement structures, and seasonal alignment with the Mobilization/Activation Plan. Attendance at the Industry Day requires registration via a Microsoft Forms link, and event logistics include limited daytime parking on the third or fourth floors of the venue, with additional parking available in nearby garages at 10th & Front, 9th & Front, and 11th & Front. While the solicitation notice provides the NAICS code 481212 and designates Boise, Idaho, as the official place of performance, no formal contract clauses, evaluation weights, pricing data, payment instructions, accounting codes, or submission deadlines are included, as this remains a pre-solicitation outreach effort. The U.S. Forest Service and DOI representatives will be present to share insights on oversight expectations and performance standards, but no formal proposal requirements, inspection criteria, or packaging specifications are yet defined. The ultimate goal is to refine the solicitation structure to ensure sustainable, safe, and effective aviation support for federal wildland fire missions, with output-driven metrics replacing purely cost-based evaluations.
