The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) contract to Timberline Helicopters Inc., a self-certified small, disadvantaged, and woman-owned business based in Sandpoint, Idaho. The BOA, valued at up to $4,976,969.86, is for the provision of call-when-needed helicopter services to support the agency's wildland firefighting efforts across the United States. Timberline Helicopters holds this BOA along with two additional multiple award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Forest Service, collectively valued at nearly $19 million, to rapidly obtain critical aerial firefighting assets and pilots as needed during peak Western wildfire seasons. Under the BOA and associated delivery orders, Timberline Helicopters provides a range of helicopter operations, including water/retardant drops, personnel and equipment transportation, aerial reconnaissance, and other fire suppression activities. The majority of the firm fixed price delivery orders awarded to Timberline Helicopters range from around $91,000 to over $650,000, with performance periods typically lasting one to two months. This BOA and the IDIQ contracts facilitate the Forest Service's ability to respond effectively to wildland fires through the acquisition of specialized aviation services from a qualified, experienced small business contractor.
