The federal contract IDV is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) to Central Copters, Inc. The BOA has a total ceiling value of $20,000,000 and a period of performance from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. It is a multiple award contract vehicle that allows NIFC to issue delivery orders to Central Copters, a for-profit small business based in Belgrade, Montana, for on-call "call-when-needed" helicopter services to support wildland firefighting operations across federal and state lands. The delivery orders awarded to date under this BOA total over $6 million and task Central Copters with providing aerial firefighting capabilities such as aerial retardant and water drops, transport of fire personnel and equipment, and aerial reconnaissance from its location in Belgrade. The services are critical to the Forest Service's mission of responding to and containing wildfires that threaten National Forests and other protected public lands, especially during peak fire seasons. This BOA was competitively solicited and awarded without the use of any set-aside designations.
