About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded a $50 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services to Skydance Helicopters of Northern Nevada, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2034. This Indefinite Delivery Contract was awarded without set-asides following a competitive, unrestricted solicitation evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology. The contract authorizes the Forest Service to issue delivery orders for comprehensive helicopter services across the United States, supporting the agency's wildland fire management mission. Services encompass fire suppression, aerial firefighting, water and retardant drops, monitoring, aerial ignition, short-haul operations, rappel services, law enforcement surveillance, reconnaissance, and administrative activities. Skydance Helicopters, based in Minden, Nevada, was selected based on its established expertise and proven track record providing specialized aerial support to federal wildland management agencies.
As of the materials provided, six delivery orders have been issued under this parent MATOC contract, totaling approximately $7.44 million against the $50 million ceiling. These delivery orders, all firm fixed-price with performance through December 31, 2029 (except one with completion by November 30, 2025), range from $84,783 to $5.46 million and support wildland fire management operations in multiple regions including Nevada and Utah. The original solicitation, posted July 27, 2022 with award date January 1, 2025, sought qualified helicopter operators equipped to meet Forest Service specifications for fire suppression and related aerial support missions. The contract structure incorporates a one-year base period with nine one-year option periods, enabling the agency to maintain sustained aerial firefighting capabilities throughout the ten-year term. All delivery orders have been awarded without set-aside designations, indicating Skydance Helicopters competed openly against other qualified vendors.
