The Department of the Interior awarded a $49.5 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Papillon Airways Inc., doing business as Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters, on May 1, 2022, for on-call Type III helicopter flight services. This is a total small business set-aside contract extending through April 30, 2027.

The IDIQ supports diverse mission requirements across Department of the Interior bureaus, including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Fish and Wildlife Service. Authorized services include wildland fire suppression, prescribed burns, search and rescue operations, law enforcement surveillance, personnel and equipment transportation to remote areas, aerial surveys, and natural resource management activities across the Western United States, with place of performance spanning Arizona, Nevada, California, Montana, New Mexico, and Utah.

The originating solicitation, posted August 6, 2021, sought fully contractor-operated and maintained aircraft meeting Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness certification standards. NAICS code 481211 (air transportation of passengers) and PSC code V199 (other aircraft services) applied.

Recent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ reflect active utilization across multiple Interior bureaus.

The Intermountain Region (National Park Service) awarded a $76,987 order in February 2026 for fuel remediation operations in Tucson, Arizona.

The Bureau of Land Management issued $36,241.40 for prescribed burns in Kingman, Arizona (March 2025), and $75,000 for Goodwin Mesa RX burns (April 2025). A $1.023 million order for fire operations in Three Rivers, California was awarded in November 2024 under the Idaho Region. Additional orders support repeater maintenance, monitoring activities, and transportation missions at locations including North Las Vegas, Nevada; Boulder City, Nevada; and Glenwood, New Mexico, with individual delivery orders ranging from approximately $5,400 to $1.023 million.
