The federal contract IDV is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to Trans Aero, LIMITED, doing business as Trans Aero LTD, a commercial helicopter operator based in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The $50 million contract, which has a performance period through December 31, 2034, is for Type 1, 2, and 3 helicopter support services to support wildland firefighting, search and rescue, personnel transport, and infrastructure maintenance operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This multiple-award IDC originated from an unrestricted solicitation issued by the USDA Forest Service, seeking to obtain helicopters and qualified personnel to fulfill a range of aerial missions including fire suppression, monitoring, aerial ignition, short-haul, rappel, law enforcement surveillance, and reconnaissance. The contract is structured as an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, allowing the Forest Service to issue task orders for these services as needed. Trans Aero LTD has also been awarded other significant federal IDCs, including a $40 million contract for Type 3 helicopter support services through 2032 and a $49.5 million multiple-award IDC with the Department of the Interior for on-call Type III helicopter flight services.
