Indefinite Delivery Contract 140D8021D0007

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, to HMC Helicopter Service LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Homestead, Florida. The contract has a ceiling value of $3,300,950.00 and an ultimate completion date of January 2, 2026. Under this single-award IDC, HMC Helicopter Service will provide exclusive use of Type III helicopters to support NPS operations primarily in the Southeast and Intermountain regions of the United States. The task orders issued to date total over $2.2 million and cover a range of NPS missions, including prescribed burns, wildlife monitoring, emergency response, and aerial transportation. While the contract was not set aside for small businesses, HMC Helicopter Service has a strong track record of providing specialized aviation services to multiple Department of the Interior agencies. This IDC allows the NPS to efficiently acquire short-term helicopter support as needed to fulfill its land management, conservation, and public safety responsibilities across national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges.

The original solicitation for this IDC, posted in August 2020, sought proposals from small businesses to provide exclusive use of Type III helicopters to the NPS. The $49.5 million multiple-award IDIQ contract awarded to HMC Helicopter Service in January 2021 is intended to enable the NPS to acquire on-call helicopter flight services, including transportation, cargo lifting, aerial application, and survey operations, to support its diverse mission requirements across different geographical regions.
