About this IDV
Mountain Air Helicopters Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged, and veteran-owned business headquartered in Los Lunas, New Mexico, was awarded a $30 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on April 12, 2023, with performance extending through December 31, 2032. The contract vehicle, designated as Type 3 Helicopter Support Services, establishes a framework for procuring specialized rotary-wing aviation services to support wildland fire management, resource protection, and emergency response operations across the Western United States. The underlying solicitation, issued July 6, 2022, by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, sought qualified operators to provide Type III helicopters and crews for missions including fire suppression, monitoring, attack, prescribed burns, short-haul operations, rappel insertion, and limited law enforcement surveillance. The contract utilizes a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation methodology with no set-aside designation, enabling competitive procurement on a nationwide basis with a base period and nine one-year option periods.
As of October 2025, Mountain Air Helicopters has received over twenty delivery orders totaling more than $3.3 million in cumulative awards under this master contract, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $14,711 to $1,528,018 and completion dates extending through December 31, 2029. Recent delivery orders, awarded between June 2024 and October 2025, are structured as firm fixed-price contracts with values ranging from $21,249 to $143,597, with performance locations primarily in Los Lunas, Sandia Park, and Los Alamos, New Mexico. These task orders support fire suppression operations, prescribed burns, aerial reconnaissance, search and rescue missions, cargo transport, and surveillance activities for the National Interagency Fire Center and supporting federal land management agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The contractor's established track record across multiple federal agencies and regions demonstrates sustained capability in delivering specialized helicopter services essential to federal wildland fire management and emergency response operations.
