The Department of the Interior awarded Airwest Helicopters, Inc. multiple indefinite delivery contracts from 2022-2027 to provide on-call Type III helicopter flight services across the United States. The small business set-aside contracts have a combined value of $49.5M.
Under the contracts, Airwest Helicopters will support wildland fire operations, search and rescue missions, and other resource activities for the National Park Service and Department of the Interior. This includes wildfire suppression, prescribed burns, law enforcement surveillance, and administrative/natural resource missions. Airwest Helicopters has received two delivery orders against the contracts to date, valued at $27,929.80 and $18,639.90 respectively, to provide flight services in Redlands, California and Twentynine Palms, California through 2023-2024 in support of bighorn sheep surveys and the EVP program.
The original 2021 pre-solicitation notice sought proposals for similar on-call helicopter services to aid the Department of the Interior's management of national parks and public lands. It utilized NAICS code 481211 and PSC code V199, with proposals due in September 2021 and contracts to be awarded in May 2022. The contracts and orders awarded to Airwest Helicopters are performing the aerial support services originally envisioned under the 2021 solicitation.
