These fixed-price with economic price adjustment contracts, which range from approximately $850,000 to $1,025,000 in potential value, task Mountain Blade Runner to deliver aerial support services from March 2019 through October 2023. The contracted helicopter services are intended to assist the Bureau of Land Management in executing their land and resource management activities, including wildland firefighting, wildlife monitoring, law enforcement, and other mission-critical operations within BLM-managed areas near Wickenburg. While no set-asides were used for these awards, Mountain Blade Runner is a small business that holds multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and Basic Ordering Agreements with federal agencies to provide specialized aviation capabilities on an as-needed basis.
