About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian federal agency under the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded Elkhorn Aviation, Inc. a Type 3 Helicopter Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on April 12, 2023, with a ceiling value of $10,000,000 and ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032. The contract was competitively awarded without set-aside designation to Elkhorn Aviation, a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and veteran-owned business based in Baker City, Oregon. The underlying solicitation, posted July 6, 2022, and closed January 12, 2023, sought multiple award task order contracts for Type 3 helicopter support services to support the United States Forest Service's wildland fire management and resource programs. The solicitation specified evaluation on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with a one-year base period and nine one-year options with minimum task order values of $5,000. Primary place of performance is Baker City, Oregon, with secondary performance locations including Salmon, Idaho, and Custer, South Dakota, depending on mission requirements.
Under this IDIQ contract, Elkhorn Aviation has received multiple delivery orders totaling approximately $3.4 million through March 2026, with individual task orders ranging from $2,100 to $1,642,443.85. The contract authorizes Elkhorn Aviation to provide comprehensive helicopter support services including fire suppression, aerial firefighting, fire monitoring and attack, prescribed fire operations, short-haul and rappel missions, emergency response support, and limited law enforcement surveillance missions. All task orders are issued on a firm fixed-price basis with completion dates extending through December 31, 2027 or 2028, depending on specific mission requirements. Delivery orders documented include specialized aviation support for wildland fire management operations, with the largest single task order valued at $1.64 million for Type III helicopter support services at Salmon, Idaho. The contract structure enables NIFC and other federal land management agencies to rapidly procure on-call aviation capabilities essential to emergency response and fire management operations across western United States federal lands.
