The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $3.37 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Heliqwest International Inc. to provide call-when-needed helicopter services supporting wildland firefighting operations through December 2024. Heliqwest, the prime contractor, specializes in environmentally friendly longline vertical reference external load helicopter operations and has an extensive history of providing aerial firefighting and support services to federal agencies. Under this BOA, the Forest Service has issued a series of firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Heliqwest for helicopter services, goods, and support valued between $31,000 and $645,000 per order. The delivery orders, issued against the larger IDC vehicle, require Heliqwest to perform these services from its facility in Westminster, Colorado through various completion dates in 2022. The Forest Service did not apply any set-aside designations to the original BOA solicitation or subsequent task orders. The contracted services aim to support the Forest Service's wildland fire management, prevention, and suppression efforts nationwide through the National Interagency Fire Center.
