About this IDV
Minuteman Aviation Inc., doing business as Glacier Heli Tours, was awarded a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the National Interagency Fire Center on April 12, 2023, for Type 3 Helicopter Support Services with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032. This civilian agency contract, which was not designated as a set-aside, establishes an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle enabling the National Interagency Fire Center to issue task orders for comprehensive helicopter flight services. The contract supports critical wildland fire management and emergency response operations, with services including aerial firefighting, fire suppression and attack, prescribed burn operations, personnel transport, short-haul and rappel missions, cargo sling operations, search and rescue, reconnaissance flights, and natural resource monitoring across the United States. Minuteman Aviation operates an extensive fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters capable of rapid deployment to geographically dispersed locations, with primary operational bases in Missoula, Montana, and satellite operations supporting missions in Kentucky, Virginia, and Idaho.
Through December 2025, Minuteman Aviation has received multiple delivery orders under this IDC totaling approximately $7.9 million across numerous task orders, with individual order values ranging from approximately $9,600 to $3.02 million. Delivery orders have been issued for operations at various locations including Wise River, Missoula, and Hamilton, Montana; Stearns and Richmond, Kentucky; Blacksburg and Abingdon, Virginia; and Challis, Idaho, with completion dates extending through December 2028. All delivery orders maintain firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designations, reflecting full and open competitive procurements. The underlying solicitation, issued by the U.S. Forest Service in July 2022 and closed January 12, 2023, sought to establish multiple award task order contracts valued at a minimum of $5,000 per order with a one-year base period and nine one-year options, to be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. This IDC positions Minuteman Aviation as a critical aviation resource provider supporting federal land management and emergency response missions across the National Interagency Fire Center's portfolio.
