Blanket Purchase Agreement 140D8020A0004

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to Elkhorn Aviation, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and veteran-owned business based in Baker City, Oregon. The BPA, valued up to $10,750,000, provides on-call helicopter flight services in support of various land management, conservation, and emergency response missions for DOI agencies such as the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management across federal lands, particularly in the western United States.

Task orders issued under this BPA include aerial capture, euthanasia, tagging, and assessment (ACETA) services for wildlife management, such as bighorn sheep captures in Grand Teton National Park, elk telemetry collar installations in Colorado, and Mexican wolf surveys in Arizona. Additional task orders cover bison management operations at Badlands National Park, wolf/coyote/fox captures in Grand Teton National Park, and other specialized aviation support for land and resource management activities. The BPA, which has a total small business set-aside, was originally solicited in 2018 to provide helicopter flight services to the DOI's Bureau of Land Management for wild horse and burro (WH&B) management and ACETA operations.
