About this IDV
Cowboy Contracting LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Terreton, Idaho, was awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) by the National Interagency Fire Center on April 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through April 1, 2030. The contract, structured as a firm fixed-price total small business set-aside, provides helicopter operations support services for Region 13 (National) to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. The procurement was solicited through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which is designed to enable rapid acquisition of specialized emergency support resources across the U.S. Forest Service and interagency partners, including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The original solicitation, posted February 7, 2024, sought quotes for helicopter operations support units capable of delivering daily shifts up to 16 hours, with pricing to include all personnel, equipment, supplies, and transportation necessary for deployment across multiple regional dispatch centers throughout the National Zone.
The underlying task orders issued against this IDV demonstrate active utilization of the contract for emergency response and project support across multiple Forest Service regions, with delivery orders valued between $2,700 and $71,914.50 awarded between June and August 2025. Places of performance span geographically diverse locations including Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, reflecting the contract's national scope. The contract supports the Forest Service's operational flexibility by enabling rapid procurement of helicopter operations support without requiring separate competitive solicitations for each emergency response or project requirement. Task orders are priced on a firm fixed-price basis across various regional service areas, with performance periods typically ranging from one to three months to accommodate seasonal and incident-driven operational needs. This contracting structure aligns with the Forest Service's critical need for pre-positioned, rapidly deployable resources capable of supporting both planned prescribed fire operations and emergency wildfire response across the western United States.
