This Type 3 Helicopter Support Services Master IDIQ contract was established without set-aside designation and represents the government's effort to secure qualified helicopter operators capable of supporting wildland fire management and natural resource operations across the United States. The underlying solicitation, issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service in July 2022, sought multiple contractors to provide helicopter services including fire suppression, prescribed fire operations, aerial monitoring, short-haul transportation, rappel operations, and limited law enforcement surveillance. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with nine one-year renewal options, with awards valued at a minimum of $5,000 per task order. Evaluation was conducted on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, prioritizing qualified operators who could meet specified mission requirements across public lands.
Heliqwest International Inc., a specialized aviation company based in Broomfield, Colorado, serves as the prime contractor and has demonstrated established capability in providing comprehensive helicopter services to federal agencies. Under this master IDIQ, Heliqwest has executed delivery orders including task order N114NS, awarded January 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of approximately $4.14 million and performance period through December 31, 2028, supporting operations in Kankakee and Broomfield on a firm fixed-price basis. The contractor's service portfolio encompasses fire retardant and water drops, aerial reconnaissance, personnel and cargo transport, search and rescue, and other specialized aerial missions. These services directly support the Forest Service's wildland fire suppression and natural resource management missions, leveraging Heliqwest's established relationships with the U.S. Forest Service, Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management to deliver critical aviation capabilities across multiple regions and states.
