The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Siller Helicopters, Inc. to provide call-when-needed aerial firefighting services using Type 1 and 2 helicopters. The $26.45 million BOA, awarded on January 1, 2020, has a period of performance through December 31, 2024 and allows federal agencies to issue firm-fixed-price delivery orders for temporary wildland fire suppression support from Siller Helicopters' facilities in Yuba City, California. Under this BOA, Siller Helicopters provides water bucket drops, aerial ignition, air tactical supervision, and other aviation capabilities in response to wildfires. The solicitation was open to all qualified offerors, with no set-asides used. The Forest Service utilizes this contract vehicle to obtain critical aerial firefighting resources from experienced providers like Siller Helicopters on an as-needed basis to support its land management and fire response programs. Siller Helicopters, Inc. has been awarded multiple delivery orders against the BOA, valued at over $6.5 million in total, to provide aerial firefighting services through 2024. The firm-fixed-price delivery orders require Siller Helicopters to mobilize its fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters equipped with specialized firefighting equipment within two hours to assist the Forest Service in responding to wildfires. Siller Helicopters' extensive experience providing aviation services to federal land management agencies under similar contracts supports the agency's critical wildland fire suppression efforts.
