The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management division, in coordination with the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded Helicopter Transport Services, LLC, doing business as Martin State Airport, a multiple award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for National Call-When-Needed Helicopter Services. The BOA, awarded on January 1, 2020 with a potential value exceeding $55 million, allows federal agencies to rapidly procure supplemental helicopter assets and personnel for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations nationwide. Helicopter Transport Services, a limited liability company based in Marshallton, Delaware, has been issued numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders against the BOA to provide aerial firefighting, cargo transport, personnel transport, aerial reconnaissance, and other aviation support services from its location. The BOA has a period of performance through December 2023 and does not use any set-aside designations. The original solicitation sought to establish multiple BOAs for heavy and medium helicopters to be operated on a call-when-needed basis by agencies participating in National Interagency Fire Center agreements. The Government intended to award BOAs to offerors proposing reasonable prices and technically acceptable proposals, with actual services ordered through subsequent delivery orders as needed to support wildland firefighting and emergency response missions across the United States.
