About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of the Interior, awarded a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement to Capitol Helicopters, Inc., a Sacramento, California-based woman-owned small disadvantaged business, on January 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026, and a ceiling value of $5,012,708.92. This indefinite delivery vehicle procures national call-when-needed helicopter services for wildland firefighting operations. Capitol Helicopters operates a diverse fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters capable of rapid mobilization across the western United States and beyond. The contract employs firm fixed-price delivery order structures without general set-aside designations at the indefinite delivery contract level, enabling federal land management agencies to rapidly issue task orders for critical aviation support services during active fire seasons and emergency situations.
The contracted services encompass comprehensive aerial support capabilities including water drops, cargo transport, aerial ignition, air attack supervision, reconnaissance, personnel transport, and short-haul operations in support of wildland fire suppression, prescribed burns, search and rescue missions, and natural resource management activities. As of the materials provided, Capitol Helicopters has received over 100 delivery order awards under this and related indefinite delivery vehicles since 2022, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $4,300 to over $12.1 million depending on mission scope, duration, and geographic location. Places of performance have included Sacramento, McClellan Park, and other strategic positions across California, Utah, Montana, Georgia, and Missouri, demonstrating the contractor's geographic flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities to support federal wildland fire management operations across public lands in the western United States.
