The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Billings Flying Service Inc., a for-profit corporate entity located in Billings, Montana. The BOA, valued at up to $40,000,000, is for the prime contractor to provide national call-when-needed helicopter services to support wildland firefighting efforts from January 2020 through December 2024.
Under this multiple award IDV, Billings Flying Service Inc. may receive firm fixed price delivery orders from federal and state agencies across the country to supply on-demand rotor-wing aircraft, pilots, and supporting personnel for aerial fire suppression, reconnaissance, and logistics coordination as needed to contain and extinguish wildfires threatening federal lands. The Forest Service, as the lead agency for coordinating national wildland firefighting operations, utilizes this type of indefinite delivery vehicle to rapidly secure aviation resources from experienced aviation services companies like Billings Flying Service during the fire season.
