About this award

Bluesky Helicopters Inc., a small disadvantaged business specializing in aerial firefighting services, has been awarded a $485,395 firm fixed-price delivery order by the National Interagency Fire Center with a completion date of December 31, 2029. This delivery order, issued on August 1, 2025, represents work to be performed in La Verne, California, and does not utilize a small business set-aside provision. The award is structured as a delivery order, indicating it derives from one of Bluesky's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles—most likely the $20 million Master IDIQ contract with NIFC for Type III helicopter support services through 2032.

Bluesky Helicopters delivers specialized rotorcraft capabilities to support the National Interagency Fire Center's wildland fire management missions. The company's core services include water and retardant drops, firefighter and equipment transportation, aerial reconnaissance, prescribed burns, and general wildland fire suppression operations. As a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors, Bluesky leverages its three significant multi-year IDVs across federal land management agencies—including contracts with the Department of the Interior, National Interagency Fire Center, and Department of Agriculture Forest Service—to enable rapid mobilization of Type III helicopter resources during unpredictable wildfire events and other emergency scenarios across the continental United States.
