About this IDV
Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., doing business as Firehawk Helicopters, was awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $80 million by the National Interagency Fire Center on April 12, 2023, for the provision of Type 3 Helicopter Support Services spanning the period from 2023 through December 31, 2032. This contract was awarded without set-aside designation and establishes a vehicle through which the Forest Service can procure helicopter services and crews to support wildland fire management and natural resource programs across federal lands. Firehawk Helicopters, a veteran-owned and woman-owned small business headquartered in Leesburg, Florida, operates a diverse rotorcraft fleet including UH-60s, S-70s, and AS350 helicopters equipped to deliver the full scope of services required under the contract. The underlying solicitation, posted July 6, 2022, with proposals due January 12, 2023, established a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation framework and contemplated a one-year base period with nine optional one-year extensions, with individual task orders valued at a minimum of $5,000 each.
Under this Type 3 MATOC vehicle, Firehawk Helicopters has received multiple delivery orders totaling approximately $10.8 million in task order awards as of May 2025, supporting operations at strategically located bases including Garden Valley, Idaho; Monument, Colorado; Laurel and Wiggins, Mississippi; Anniston, Alabama; Lufkin, Texas; and Clarksville, Arkansas. Delivery orders authorize the contractor to provide comprehensive aerial firefighting and emergency response services including water and retardant drops, air attack operations, aerial ignition support, short-haul transportation, and helicopter maintenance. Task orders are structured as firm fixed-price awards with completion dates extending through December 31, 2028 and 2029, with performances conducted at both contractor facilities in Leesburg, Florida, and at designated operational locations across the southern and western United States. These delivery orders reflect Firehawk Helicopters' role as a mission-critical aviation services provider supporting the National Interagency Fire Center's coordination of wildland fire suppression, emergency response, and natural resource management operations across multiple federal agencies and jurisdictions.
