About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center, operating under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to P.J. Helicopters, Inc. on April 12, 2023, with an $80 million ceiling value extending through December 31, 2032. This Type 3 Helicopter Support Services contract was awarded on an unrestricted basis using a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation methodology. P.J. Helicopters, a family-owned precision helicopter lift service provider headquartered in Red Bluff, California, operates Type I, II, and III rotorcraft to support federal wildland fire management missions across western states. The contract enables the Forest Service to procure helicopter services on an as-needed basis through delivery orders for fire suppression, aerial monitoring, prescribed burn operations, short-haul transport, rappel operations, and limited law enforcement surveillance activities. Performance is conducted primarily from the contractor's Red Bluff, California operations base, with services supporting federal and state lands managed by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service.
Since the initial award, the National Interagency Fire Center has issued approximately 43 delivery orders totaling more than $6.9 million against this IDIQ vehicle, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $5,700 to $327,600 on a firm fixed-price basis. Recent delivery orders issued between July 2023 and October 2025 demonstrate continued utilization of the contract for mission-critical aerial firefighting support, with most task orders scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027. The underlying solicitation, posted in July 2022 with a January 12, 2023 proposal due date, sought qualified operators to establish multiple-award task order contracts structured with a one-year base period and nine one-year option periods valued at a minimum of $5,000 per task order. This contracting vehicle positions P.J. Helicopters as a cornerstone provider enabling rapid deployment of specialized aerial assets to support dynamic wildland fire management operations and emergency response activities across the federal government's western fire management infrastructure.
