The Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $49.5 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for On-Call Type III Helicopter Flight Services from 2022 to 2027. The prime contractor, Air Shasta Rotor & Wing, Inc. (doing business as North Valley Helicopters), is a small disadvantaged, woman-owned business that will provide on-call helicopter services to support the BLM's wildfire suppression, aerial surveys, seeding, and other natural resource management operations across the western United States. The IDIQ allows for rapid procurement of rotorcraft services, with several delivery orders already issued for aerial seeding, emergency stabilization and rehabilitation, and other mission-critical activities in Nevada and California. Additionally, Air Shasta holds several other significant federal IDV contracts with the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, further demonstrating its capabilities to support a wide range of government aviation requirements. The original pre-solicitation notice indicated the DOI's intent to award multiple IDIQ contracts for on-call Type III helicopter services to meet the agencies' needs for wildland fire operations, search and rescue, and other resource activities. The 100% small business set-aside solicitation sought fully contractor-operated and maintained aircraft that meet FAA airworthiness requirements to perform missions such as wildland fire suppression, prescribed burns, aerial surveys, law enforcement support, and administrative flights. This IDIQ contract allows the government to efficiently procure these critical helicopter services as needed to support its land management and emergency response efforts across the western states.
