Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SA25T9217

The federal contract IDV awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is for the provision of Type I helicopter support services. The prime contractor, Helicopter Transport Services, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Middle River, Maryland, has been awarded multiple delivery orders under this $50 million IDC to provide critical aerial firefighting and emergency response capabilities.

The contracted services include fully operational helicopters and trained crews for complex missions such as water and retardant drops, transportation of fire crews and equipment, medical evacuations, aerial reconnaissance, and mapping support. These services are in support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's fire and aviation management mission, enabling federal agencies to rapidly procure critical aerial assets for wildland fire suppression efforts across the United States. Several of the delivery orders are set aside for small businesses, demonstrating Helicopter Transport Services' competitiveness in both unrestricted and small business contract environments.
