About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plains Area office awarded a $17,500 firm fixed-price purchase order to Smith Helicopters Inc., a small business based in Cotulla, Texas, for helicopter nilgai capture services in South Texas. The contract, set aside for small businesses, was awarded on August 26, 2022, with a completion date of May 1, 2023, and the services were performed in Edinburg, Texas. Smith Helicopters specializes in rotary wing aircraft operations supporting federal wildlife management and animal health initiatives, with core competencies including aerial surveillance, animal capture and movement tracking, and outbreak response in remote or geographically challenging regions.
This award represents one of multiple contract vehicles through which Smith Helicopters supports APHIS operations in Texas. The company maintains a $25 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with APHIS Veterinary Services extending through February 2026 that provides pre-negotiated helicopter services for equine disease management and animal health response activities. The smaller purchase orders, such as this nilgai capture contract, supplement the larger IDV by addressing specialized capture and wildlife management needs, enabling the agency to rapidly deploy aerial resources for critical animal health monitoring and disease containment efforts across difficult-to-access areas of South Texas.
