Delivery Order 140D8122D0007-140D0426FP051

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Pacific West Region awarded a $6,600 fixed-price delivery order with economic price adjustment to Manuiwa Airways, Incorporated (doing business as Volcano Helicopters) on April 13, 2026, with completion targeted for April 14, 2027. This delivery order is designated as a total small business set-aside and represents a task order issued under the Department of Interior's $7.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Hawaii-based minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small business. The work will be performed in Hilo, Hawaii, and aligns with the company's core mission of providing comprehensive helicopter services to federal agencies managing operations in Hawaii's challenging volcanic and remote environments.

Manuiwa Airways has established itself as a critical aviation support provider to Interior bureaus since its SAM.gov registration in 2002, delivering over 70 task orders for services including volcanic monitoring, emergency response, aerial surveys, personnel and cargo transportation, vegetation management, and wildlife operations across Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and other protected areas. The company maintains direct operational control over service delivery without relying on major subcontractors, consistently demonstrating mission-critical support to the National Park Service Pacific West Region, U.S. Geological Survey Hawaii Volcano Observatory, and other Interior entities. This delivery order reflects the ongoing partnership between the Department of the Interior and Manuiwa Airways in sustaining federal operations across the Hawaiian Islands.
