About this IDV
Capitol Helicopters, Inc., a Sacramento-based woman-owned small disadvantaged business, was awarded a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior, effective January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2033. The contract employs firm fixed-price pricing with no set-aside designation and serves as a master vehicle enabling rapid issuance of task orders for Type 2 helicopter support services. The underlying solicitation, posted August 22, 2022, sought multiple IDIQs to provide comprehensive helicopter support to the U.S. Forest Service, including fire suppression, fire monitoring, law enforcement, and administrative missions utilizing Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters meeting specified equipment and certification standards. The contract was evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection methodology, with a one-year base period and nine one-year options.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this IDC to date: an $8.72 million task order for Morgan, Utah, and a $3.03 million task order for Cold Springs, California (executed from Placerville), both effective through December 31, 2028. Capitol Helicopters' service scope encompasses water drops, cargo transport, aerial ignition, air attack supervision, reconnaissance, and personnel transport capabilities essential to wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and natural resource management activities across the western United States. The contractor operates a diverse fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters and leverages this IDC alongside additional Type 1 and Type 3 contracts totaling over $180 million in aggregate value to support federal land management and emergency response missions during active fire seasons across states including California, Utah, Montana, and Missouri.
