The federal contract IDV award is for the provision of Type 3 helicopter support services, primarily focused on wildland fire management, to the National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency. The prime contractor, Coastal Helicopters, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, was awarded a multiple-award $20 million IDV contract running from 2023 to 2032. Under this IDV, Coastal Helicopters has received several firm fixed-price delivery orders, valued at over $500,000, to provide specialized aviation services such as fire suppression, search and rescue, and infrastructure maintenance missions using Type I, II, and III helicopters. The IDV and associated task orders do not have any small business set-aside designations. The original solicitation, issued by the U.S. Forest Service, sought proposals to establish multiple award contracts for Type 3 helicopter support services to supplement the agency's wildland fire management and natural resource programs. The services requested include fire suppression, monitoring, attack, prescribed fires, short-haul, rappel, and limited law enforcement surveillance. Awards will have a one-year base period and nine one-year options. This procurement aims to obtain a pool of qualified helicopter operators to support the Forest Service's mission across public lands within the United States.
