This federal contract IDV and associated task orders are focused on providing call-when-needed helicopter services to support wildland firefighting and natural resource management operations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, and Department of the Interior National Park Service. The primary contractor, Helicopter Express LLC, has been awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with a $15,000,000 ceiling value to furnish Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters along with experienced flight crews and associated capabilities on an as-needed basis. The BOA has a base period of 4 years and a 6-month extension option. Under this IDV, the National Interagency Fire Center has issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Helicopter Express totaling over $5.3 million to date, with places of performance in Chamblee, Georgia and Ochopee, Florida. The services provided include fire suppression, monitoring, cargo transport, aerial reconnaissance, and administrative support for the agencies' critical fire and aviation management responsibilities across different regions. While the awards do not contain socioeconomic set-asides, Helicopter Express has secured both unrestricted and small business contracting opportunities with these federal customers in the past.
