This firm fixed-price delivery order, effective September 1, 2025, and extending through December 31, 2029, is issued under NIFC's $20 million Master IDIQ contract for Type III helicopter support services (valid through 2032).

Bluesky Helicopters will provide specialized aerial firefighting and aviation support services, which typically encompass water and retardant drops, transportation of firefighting personnel and equipment, aerial reconnaissance, prescribed burns, and general wildland fire suppression operations across public lands managed by federal agencies.
Bluesky Helicopters is well-positioned to execute this work, having consistently delivered critical rotorcraft capabilities to federal land management agencies including NIFC, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior. The company operates as a prime contractor with no subcontractor involvement and maintains a strong track record of performance under firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $130K to $900K across multiple fire seasons. In addition to the NIFC Master IDIQ, Bluesky maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles including a $49.5 million contract with the Department of the Interior and a $7.5 million basic ordering agreement with the Forest Service, enabling rapid mobilization of specialized aviation assets during unpredictable wildfire events and emergency response scenarios.
