The federal government awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Capitol Helicopters Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business, to provide Type 1 helicopter support services to the National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency. The $50 million multiple-award IDC has a period of performance through December 31, 2034. The contract aims to procure helicopter services, including water drops, cargo transport, aerial ignition, air attack supervision, reconnaissance, and personnel transport, to support wildland firefighting, monitoring, search and rescue, prescribed burns, and other natural resource management activities across public lands in the western United States. Capitol Helicopters has held numerous task orders under this IDC, typically ranging from $200,000 to $600,000, to rapidly mobilize its fleet of Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopters for the U.S. Forest Service, Department of the Interior, and other federal land management agencies. The contract was awarded without any set-asides, though Capitol Helicopters has benefited from its small disadvantaged and woman-owned business status on some procurements.
