Maritime Helicopters, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, has been awarded a $16,470,000 multiple award indefinite delivery contract by the U.S. Department of the Interior to provide on-call and specialty helicopter flight services in Alaska. This contract enables the Department to obtain rotary-wing air transportation, aerial surveying, emergency response support, and associated maintenance services to facilitate land management, scientific research, natural resource monitoring, and other operations requiring aerial mobility in remote areas. Task orders issued under the contract include fixed-price and firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $3,163 to $483,231 to support specific mission requirements of the Department's agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service. No set-aside designations were used for the award or associated task orders.
The original pre-solicitation notice indicated the Department of the Interior was seeking contractor-provided helicopter flight services in Alaska to enable access, transport, and mobility for its various programs. The indefinite delivery contract and associated delivery orders allow the Department to efficiently obtain on-demand rotary-wing air transportation capabilities from an experienced provider to support scientific research, land and resource management, emergency response, and infrastructure maintenance activities across the state. The contract's multiple award structure and lack of set-asides demonstrate the Department's priority in securing reliable, high-quality helicopter services to meet the diverse operational needs of its civilian agencies.
