Statewide Exclusive-Use & Call-When-Needed Aircraft Roster

Buyer: Washington State Department of Natural Resources

Details

DNR's contracted aviation roster included Aero-Flite and Bridger Aerospace CL-415/CL-415EAF water scoopers, Dauntless Air and Air Spray AT-802F single-engine scoopers, a Columbia Basin Helicopters KMAX, and High Performance Helicopters tanked UH-60/UH-1 helicopters, supplementing DNR's own UH-1H fleet.

This is a snapshot of WA DNR's 2021 contracted aviation roster, not a standing contract. DNR rebuilds the roster each season through its pre-season agreement solicitations, so the 2021 vendor list is superseded. Among the named vendors, Bridger Aerospace has since gone public (NASDAQ: BAER) and acquired Bighorn Airways (2023); Aero-Flite and Dauntless Air remain active scooper and SEAT operators.
