The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Region has awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to DAR Schmid Pilot Services LLC to provide on-call smokejumper pilot services. The IDC, valued at $784,760 with a performance period through February 2025, requires the contractor to provide one pilot in command to operate a Twin Otter DHC-6-300 aircraft in support of the BLM's wildland fire management programs in the Boise, Idaho area.
The BLM has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to DAR Schmid Pilot Services LLC under this IDC, including a $249,000 award in March 2025 for fiscal year 2025 services. These on-call smokejumper pilot services are critical to the BLM's ability to rapidly deploy firefighters to remote locations as part of their wildfire response capabilities. The solicitation for these services was competed as a 100% small business set-aside, though the task orders awarded to date do not utilize a set-aside, indicating the contractor has competed effectively in an unrestricted environment.
