The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center awarded multiple BOAs under a 2019 solicitation seeking heavy and medium helicopter services to support wildland firefighting on a call-when-needed basis. Skydance Helicopters of Northern Nevada was awarded two IDVs with potential values of $2M and $3M to provide Type I and II helicopter services for aerial firefighting missions including water and retardant drops through 2024. Under the IDVs, Skydance Helicopters has received numerous fixed-price delivery orders to provide helicopter services and pilots from its location in Minden, Nevada. Orders issued from 2022 through 2023 valued from $46K to $607K provide aerial firefighting support periods ranging from 5 to 60 days. The Forest Service utilizes these contracted helicopters and crews to conduct reconnaissance, transport personnel and equipment, and contain wildfires across federal lands as part of its wildland fire management programs. The IDVs and associated delivery orders were awarded on an unrestricted basis using firm-fixed pricing to augment the agency's fleet and fire suppression operations as needed.
