About this award

The National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and the Department of the Interior, awarded a delivery order contract valued at $691,852.66 to Central Copters, Inc., a small business based in Belgrade, Montana. This firm fixed-price delivery order, designated 0801-081525 N116 PKG-68523, carries an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2029, and was awarded on August 1, 2025. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category, indicating Central Copters competed competitively for this award. This delivery order likely falls under one of Central Copters' two existing $50 million Indefinite Delivery Contracts—either the Forest Service contract for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services (running through December 31, 2034) or the National Park Service Intermountain Region contract for Type 2 Helicopter Support Services (running through December 31, 2033).

Central Copters will deliver specialized aerial firefighting and helicopter support services to support federal land management agencies' wildfire suppression and management operations across the Western United States. The company's services typically include fire retardant application, aerial reconnaissance, air attack supervision, and transportation of fire personnel and equipment. With operations based in Belgrade, Montana, Central Copters brings over two decades of experience providing critical helicopter-based support during wildfire seasons, making the company a strategic partner for the government's wildland fire management mission.
