About this IDV
Columbia Basin Helicopter, Inc., a small business headquartered in La Grande, Oregon, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) on June 9, 2023, with a period of performance extending through June 9, 2028. The contract was established under the VIPR I-BPA (Interagency Blanket Purchase Agreement) for Heavy Equipment serving West Zone Regions 5 and 6, utilizing a Total Small Business set-aside and firm fixed-price pricing structure. This IDC enables NIFC to issue task orders for specialized aerial services, leveraging Columbia Basin Helicopter's established capabilities in wildland fire suppression and emergency response support across federal land management operations in the western United States.
The contract procures helicopter-based aerial services and heavy equipment support critical to wildland fire suppression, vegetation management, and emergency response operations within the specified western regions. Columbia Basin Helicopter's demonstrated expertise includes aerial application services, equipment transport, and support for federal land management agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and Department of the Interior. The firm fixed-price structure provides cost certainty for delivery orders issued under this IDC, while the multiple-award designation allows NIFC to issue task orders as operational requirements and wildfire suppression needs arise within Regions 5 and 6 during the five-year contract period.
