Basic Ordering Agreement 12024B20G5017

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $35 million multiple award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Croman Corporation, a for-profit aviation services company, to provide a range of call-when-needed helicopter services for wildland firefighting. The BOA has a performance period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024.

Under the BOA, the Forest Service is issuing firm fixed-price delivery orders to Croman to furnish Type 1 and Type 3 firefighting helicopters equipped with water tanks and buckets, along with associated flight crews, maintenance, and operational support. Croman is the prime contractor and draws upon its capabilities and fleet of specialized aerial assets to rapidly deploy resources nationwide in support of the Forest Service's wildland fire suppression missions. The BOA was competitively awarded without any small business set-asides, and places of performance are primarily based out of Croman's facility in White City, Oregon.
