Task orders issued to date include $442,822 to AV8 - ORR Helicopter Services Inc. for post-fire invasive species control through November 2024 in Salmon, Idaho. Two additional orders totaling $660,241 were awarded to AV8 for aerial herbicide application and fuels reduction services in central Idaho, with periods of performance through December 2023. The original solicitation sought these types of aerial services to support natural resource management initiatives across several national forests and BLM field offices. Specifically, the contract aims to procure application of herbicides, biological agents, seeding or soil amendments by helicopter to control invasive plants or rehabilitate lands. Aerial surveys and transport of equipment to remote areas are also within scope. The Forest Service seeks to improve forest health and wildlife habitat through coordinated programs using these contracted aerial application services.
