About this IDV
Trans Aero, LIMITED, a small business commercial helicopter operator headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was awarded a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2033. This contract vehicle supports helicopter support services for Type II operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The underlying solicitation, posted August 22, 2022 with awards effective January 1, 2024, sought multiple Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide comprehensive helicopter support services including fire suppression, fire monitoring, law enforcement, and administrative missions utilizing Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters meeting specified equipment and certification standards. The procurement was structured with no set-aside designation and evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection methodology, with minimum guarantees of $7,500 for Type 2 services and a one-year base period plus nine one-year options.
Under this parent IDIQ contract, Trans Aero has received multiple task orders from NIFC representing delivery orders for emergency use mobilization assistance program (MAP) helicopter support and routine operational services. Recent delivery orders include a $6.35 million firm fixed-price order awarded January 1, 2024 for Type II Emergency Use MAP helicopter support at Sky Forest, California, with performance extending through December 31, 2028, and three additional firm fixed-price delivery orders issued in January and February 2026 valued at $33,538.17, $142,007.51, and $135,157.52 respectively, for support services performed in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Francis E. Warren Air Force Base. Trans Aero's established fleet of Airbus Helicopters and demonstrated track record supporting NIFC's critical wildland firefighting and emergency response operations across federal land management agencies position the contractor as a key on-call aviation resource for flexible federal requirements across North America.
