About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to Orbic Air, LLC effective January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2034, for Type 1 helicopter support services. Orbic Air is a self-certified small disadvantaged business limited liability company headquartered in Burbank, California, that specializes in providing comprehensive aviation services exclusively to federal agencies for wildland fire management operations. The contract was solicited on July 27, 2022, with an award date of January 1, 2025, and utilizes a firm fixed-price pricing structure with no set-aside designation at the parent contract level. The underlying solicitation sought qualified helicopter operators equipped to meet United States Forest Service specifications for fire suppression, monitoring, aerial ignition, short-haul, rappel, law enforcement surveillance, reconnaissance, and other administrative missions across the entire United States. The contract structure includes a one-year base period and nine one-year option periods, evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable process.
Under this parent contract vehicle, Orbic Air has received seventeen delivery orders issued between May 2025 and December 2025, ranging in value from $11,400 to $6.94 million, with completion dates through December 31, 2029. The delivery orders procure specialized Type 1 helicopter support services for wildland fire management operations, with one order designated as a total small business set-aside for services in Fresno, California valued at $6.94 million. All other delivery orders carry no set-aside designation. Work is performed at Orbic Air's primary facility in Burbank, California, with the exception of the Fresno-based delivery order performed in Fresno, California. Orbic Air performs all contracted work directly without utilizing subcontractors, maintaining full operational control over critical aviation resources essential to the agency's fire suppression and emergency response mission. The company's sustained performance history with the National Interagency Fire Center since 2022, combined with its existing $5.25 million single-award indefinite delivery contract extending through December 31, 2024, demonstrates established capacity and reliability in delivering specialized helicopter aviation services to support nationwide wildland fire management and emergency response coordination efforts.
