About this IDV
Aspen Helicopters Inc., a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Oxnard, California, was awarded a $20 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) on April 12, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032. This HSS MATOC Type 3 contract was established through a competitive solicitation posted by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service in July 2022, which sought qualified helicopter operators to provide Type 3 helicopter support services for wildland fire management operations. The contract encompasses a one-year base period with nine one-year option periods, structured to enable the government to efficiently procure rotary-wing aviation services on an as-needed basis through task orders. The place of performance is Oxnard, California, with no small business set-aside designation applied to the parent contract.
Under this parent IDIQ, Aspen Helicopters provides comprehensive helicopter-based aviation support including fire suppression, aerial attack, short-haul operations, rappel services, monitoring, and limited law enforcement surveillance missions. Six delivery orders issued between July and September 2025 demonstrate active utilization of the contract, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $21,000 to $256,900 and completion dates of December 31, 2027. These task orders support NIFC's wildland fire management and emergency response operations across federal lands. Aspen Helicopters' extensive portfolio of federal contracts across multiple agencies—including the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and U.S. military commands—with collective contract capacity exceeding $165 million, positions the company as a critical provider of specialized rotary-wing aviation capabilities to the federal government.
