About this award

The National Interagency Fire Center awarded Central Copters, Inc., a small business based in Belgrade, Montana, a delivery order contract valued at $836,095.81 with a firm fixed price structure. The contract, designated as 0816-083125 N115 PKG-68888, carries an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2029, and was awarded on August 16, 2025. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating Central Copters competed on an open basis. The contract supports aerial firefighting and aviation services that the company provides to federal land management agencies, leveraging its specialized helicopter-based capabilities for wildfire suppression and management operations across Western United States federal lands.

Central Copters holds significant standing with the National Interagency Fire Center through two Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $50 million each—one with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service through December 31, 2034, for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services, and another with the Department of the Interior's National Park Service Intermountain Region through December 31, 2033, for Type 2 Helicopter Support Services. This delivery order represents a task order exercise under these broader agreements, enabling the government to rapidly deploy Central Copters' helicopter assets for critical "Call When Needed" services supporting federal wildfire suppression and management operations. Since its founding in 2003, Central Copters has maintained consistent contract engagement with federal agencies for specialized aerial services including fire retardant drops, aerial reconnaissance, air attack supervision, and fire personnel and equipment transportation.
