The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement to Carisch Helicopter Inc. to provide Type III helicopters for wildland firefighting operations in Region 1. The potential value of the IDV is $500,000. No set-aside was used for the award made on August 6, 2020, with a period of performance through November 30, 2020. The original solicitation sought Type III helicopters to support wildland fire management across Forest Service Regions 1, 3, and 5. As the lead federal agency for wildland fire management, the Forest Service coordinates interagency firefighting resources nationwide each season. Type III helicopters are commonly used for aerial ignition, infrared scanning, and transport of smokejumpers and fire crews due to their maneuverability. This IDV will facilitate ordering of these specialized rotorcraft assets as needed to prepare for and respond to wildfires threatening National Forest System lands in the northern United States.
