About this award
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Idaho Region awarded a $1.10 million fixed-price delivery order with economic price adjustment to Pathfinder Aviation LLC for exclusive-use Type III helicopter services in the Galena Fire Zone, Alaska. The contract, awarded May 5, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 30, 2025, supports aerial firefighting operations in response to wildfire management needs. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation and represents a de-obligation modification for continued helicopter support in the specified fire zone. Pathfinder Aviation LLC, a small business based in Anchorage, Alaska, specializes in providing rotary-wing aircraft operations and aerial firefighting services to federal agencies across challenging environments including Alaska and Antarctica.
This award falls under Pathfinder Aviation's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract portfolio with the Department of the Interior, which includes a $16.47 million multiple-award IDC for on-call helicopter services in Alaska. The contractor's experience with federal wildfire management is further demonstrated through its $50 million multiple-award IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center and its $9.5 million contract with the Bureau of Land Management for Type II helicopter services. The Galena Fire Zone contract leverages Pathfinder Aviation's established capability to rapidly deploy and sustain helicopter operations for emergency response and fire suppression across remote Alaskan terrain.
