About this IDV
This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian federal agency, to the veteran-owned small business Construction Helicopters, Inc. (doing business as Chi Aviation). The $50 million single-award IDC, set aside for small businesses, is for the provision of national smokejumper aircraft services, including the operation, maintenance, and dispatch of smokejumper aircraft for fire suppression nationwide and outside the continental United States.
The contracted services will be delivered through a multiple-award task order contract (MATOC) vehicle, with Chi Aviation able to compete for exclusive use and call-when-needed task orders. The original solicitation, a special notice from the U.S. Forest Service, indicates the services are expected to be required from March 2024 through December 2033. Chi Aviation has demonstrated its capabilities in specialized aviation support, including aerial firefighting, military parachuting, airlift, and aircraft maintenance, through prior federal contracts. This IDC award further solidifies Chi Aviation's position as a trusted provider of critical smokejumper aircraft services to support the U.S. government's wildland fire suppression efforts.
