About this award
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a delivery order valued at $1.08M to Helimax Aviation Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Howell, Michigan, for aerial firefighting and aviation support services. This Firm Fixed Price delivery order, issued on August 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2029, represents a non-set-aside competitive award to support the agency's wildland fire management and emergency response operations. Helimax Aviation, a subsidiary of Construction Helicopters Inc. (doing business as Chi Aviation), operates a specialized fleet of heavy-lift helicopters including Sikorsky S-61 and S-64 Skycrane models to deliver critical aerial support capabilities.
This delivery order is issued under one of Helimax Aviation's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which maintains multiple contract vehicles with the company totaling over $139M in potential value. These IDVs enable the Forest Service and partner federal agencies to task Helimax Aviation for specialized aerial missions including reconnaissance, water and retardant drops, personnel and equipment transportation, and cargo lifting operations. The company's consistent award history with the National Interagency Fire Center demonstrates its established capability and competitive position in providing essential aerial firefighting support to federal wildland fire suppression efforts.
