Bridger Aerospace Receives 2 US Forest Service Task Orders for 120 Days

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings has received two 120-day task orders from the US Forest Service for its CL-415EAF "Super Scooper" aircraft. The task orders are noteworthy for being received early in the wildfire year and are for a record 120 days each. Bridger's CEO stated that the task orders demonstrate the success of their strategy to have their fleet available and ready to respond to wildfires, which are becoming a year-round threat. The procurements recognize the Super Scoopers as effective tools in responding to wildfires and the Forest Service's growing willingness to pre-position assets.

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BAER), a leading provider of aerial firefighting services, has secured two significant 120-day task orders from the US Forest Service for four of its CL-415EAF "Super Scooper" aircraft. This marks a record duration for task orders, received early in the wildfire season. The task orders are notable for their extended duration and for being received at the beginning of the wildfire year.

The two 120-day task orders, each for two aircraft, will see two Super Scoopers currently operational in Minnesota. The start dates for the remaining two aircraft are pending, with the last two available on a "call when needed" basis. Bridger's CEO, Sam Davis, highlighted that these orders demonstrate the growing recognition of Super Scoopers' effectiveness in wildfire response and the Forest Service's increased focus on pre-positioning assets for rapid response.

According to Davis, "These task orders recognize the Super Scoopers as one of the most effective tools in responding to wildfires as well as the Forest Service’s growing willingness to pre-position assets in order to more rapidly respond, helping to limit damage and better protect lives and property from this increasingly year-round threat." The longer-term orders also align with Bridger's strategy of maintaining year-round fleet availability to enhance revenue predictability.

The procurements underscore the effectiveness of Bridger's fleet and the Forest Service's proactive approach to wildfire management. Bridger provides aerial firefighting and wildfire management services to various government agencies, both federal and state, as well as internationally.
