The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Pathfinder Aviation LLC as a 100% small business set-aside. With a potential value of $7.5 million and a period of performance from April 2024 through March 2029, this IDC provides exclusive use helicopter services to support wildland fire activities in the Galena Fire Zone in Alaska. Task orders issued against this vehicle will retain Pathfinder Aviation as the prime contractor to directly perform functions such as sling operations, transporting fire crews and equipment, and facilitating personnel movement via helicopter to enable wildfire suppression and other remote land management operations. The originating pre-solicitation notice sought proposals for two IDCs to obtain one light rotary aircraft each for the Upper Yukon and Galena Fire Zones in Alaska. As the incumbent, Pathfinder Aviation was awarded the IDC for the Galena zone, valued at an estimated $7.5 million. This IDC and associated task orders will provide an aircraft with minimum requirements to support wildfire activities in the designated area from May 2024 through April 2029, including an exclusive use period annually from May through August.
