About this award
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a delivery order contract valued at approximately $755K to Bluesky Helicopters Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in La Verne, California, on August 16, 2025. This firm fixed-price contract, which runs through December 31, 2029, is issued under Bluesky's $20 million Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with NIFC for Type III helicopter support services. The award carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Bluesky's competitive standing in open federal procurements. As the prime contractor, Bluesky will deliver aerial firefighting and aviation support services critical to wildland fire management operations across federal lands.
Bluesky Helicopters specializes in providing rotorcraft capabilities including water and retardant drops, firefighter and equipment transportation, aerial reconnaissance, prescribed burn support, and general wildland fire suppression efforts. The company maintains a substantial federal contract portfolio supported by three significant indefinite delivery vehicles, including the aforementioned NIFC Master IDIQ, a $49.5 million Department of the Interior contract for on-call helicopter services through 2027, and a $7.5 million Department of Agriculture Forest Service basic ordering agreement through 2025. These multi-year vehicles enable federal land management agencies to rapidly mobilize specialized aviation resources in response to unpredictable wildfire events and other emergency situations across the continental United States.
