About this IDV
Helicom LLP, a small business partnership based in St. Ignatius, Montana, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the U.S. Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center on May 13, 2024. This firm fixed-price contract, set aside for total small business concerns, extends through May 13, 2029, and provides mobile communications units and helicopter operations support services to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the Forest Service National Zone (Regions 1 through 6). The contract operates as an on-demand vehicle enabling the Forest Service to issue delivery orders for critical aerial and communications services needed to support national fire management operations. Services are priced based on 16-hour daily shift rates and include equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, and certified personnel as specified in individual task orders.
Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, Helicom LLP has received multiple delivery orders, including a $43,038 firm fixed-price order for helicopter operations and communications support in the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) with performance completed in John Day, Oregon, and a $20,448 order for aerial and communications services performed in Dillon, Montana under Region 1 operations. These task orders demonstrate the contract's operational application in supporting active wildland fire management across geographically dispersed Forest Service regions. The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice in February 2024, sought multiple vendors capable of providing mobile communications units and related services on an as-needed basis, with competitive evaluation and awards anticipated to support an unknown quantity of incidents annually across the six National Forest Service regions.
