About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $50 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Helicopter Applicators Inc. on January 1, 2024, extending through December 31, 2033. This multiple-award Type II helicopter support services contract was competitively awarded without set-asides and provides comprehensive aerial support across fire suppression, monitoring, law enforcement, and administrative missions utilizing Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters. The contractor, a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania-based entity registered in the System for Award Management since 2001, delivers specialized helicopter operations including wildland fire management, invasive species control, aerial herbicide application, and environmental intervention services. The IDC establishes a base period of one year with nine one-year option periods and authorizes task orders supporting multiple federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Services are performed across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with domestic operations centered in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
As of the documented task orders, Helicopter Applicators Inc. has received seven delivery orders totaling approximately $1.27 million under the parent contract, demonstrating sustained utilization of this vehicle for mission-critical aerial support. The delivery orders, all firm fixed-price awards without set-aside designations, range from $101,295 to $299,488 and cover service periods spanning weeks to months with completion dates concentrated in summer and early fall months, consistent with peak wildland fire season. The underlying solicitation, posted August 22, 2022 with an October 7, 2022 proposal deadline, solicited multiple IDIQ contracts utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology, with minimum guarantees of $10,000 for Type 1 contracts and $7,500 for Type 2 and $5,000 for Type 3 services. The contract structure enables flexible deployment of specialized aerial assets to support time-sensitive federal emergency response and natural resource management operations.
