The federal contract IDV award is for Helicopter Support Services - Type 2, a multiple-award IDIQ contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The $50 million IDIQ contract, awarded to prime contractor Hillcrest Aircraft Company, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, enables NIFC and other federal agencies to rapidly procure helicopter services for wildfire response, aerial surveying, search and rescue, and natural resource management missions across the western United States, Canada, and Mexico. The contract has a period of performance through December 31, 2033 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. The task orders awarded under this IDIQ range from $41,766.36 to $289,461.24 for firm-fixed-price delivery of unspecified aviation services and supplies. These task orders provide federal agencies with flexible access to Hillcrest's fleet of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, as well as their highly trained pilots, mechanics, and support personnel. The original solicitation sought proposals for multiple IDIQ contracts to provide these types of critical helicopter support services to the U.S. Forest Service, with evaluation based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process.
