The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (USDA-USFS-FAM) awarded a $28.5 million multiple award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Columbia Helicopters, Inc. of Aurora, Oregon. The BOA has a 48-month base period with an optional 6-month extension to provide a variety of heavy and medium helicopter services on a call-when-needed basis for wildland firefighting operations across multiple federal agencies. Under the BOA, the Forest Service has issued numerous firm fixed price delivery orders to Columbia Helicopters for aerial firefighting, fire detection, cargo transport, and personnel transport services. The task orders, valued between $20K and $1.4 million, were performed at Columbia Helicopters' facility in Aurora, Oregon and supported the Forest Service's wildland fire management programs. As an experienced provider of heavy-lift helicopter services, Columbia Helicopters utilized its fleet of Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane and Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters to fulfill these critical aerial support requirements for the government.
