About this award
The National Park Service (NPS) Northeast Region awarded a definitive contract valued at $513,489.90 to Helicopter Applicators Inc. on January 28, 2026, to provide helicopter liming application services for the Meadow Run Watershed at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Under this firm fixed-price contract, the company will apply approximately 5,250 tons of limestone sand across 2,150 acres to address decades of acid rain damage and restore ecosystem health by reducing soil acidity and improving water quality conditions for aquatic life. The project will be executed in phased operations during winter months to minimize visitor impact, with work limited to weekdays and daylight hours requiring 96-hour advance notice for each liming operation. This award carries no small business set-aside designation, indicating open competition in the federal marketplace. The contract is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026.
Helicopter Applicators Inc., a Pennsylvania-based aerial services provider registered in the System for Award Management since 2001, was selected based on demonstrated relevant experience, comprehensive work plans, safety protocols, and price reasonableness. The company specializes in helicopter-based environmental interventions including wildland fire management, invasive species control, and aerial application services across multiple federal agencies. This contract award falls within the NPS's broader environmental restoration and land management initiatives and represents a continuation of the contractor's relationship with the Service, as the company also holds a significant $50 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Interagency Fire Center since January 2024, which provides helicopter support services for multiple federal land management agencies.
