Indefinite Delivery Contract 140D8122D0016

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to Northstar Trekking, LLC, a for-profit Alaska-based limited liability company. The contract, valued at a ceiling of $16,470,000, provides on-call helicopter flight services and related aviation support to various civilian federal agencies operating in Alaska, including the U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management. Task orders issued under this IDC cover a range of mission requirements such as aerial surveying, climate monitoring, emergency response, and wildfire management across remote areas of the state. The period of performance runs through February 2026, with Northstar Trekking serving as the prime contractor without any identified subcontractors. This IDC was the result of a pre-solicitation posted by the DOI in April 2021 seeking proposals for helicopter flight services in Alaska, which did not utilize any small business set-asides.

The key products and services provided under this IDC and associated task orders include on-call and exclusive-use helicopter transportation, logistics, radio communications, mapping, and other specialized aviation support. The contractors' capabilities have enabled the government to carry out critical missions in support of natural resource management, scientific research, and public safety within Alaska's national parks, preserves, and other federal lands. The geographic scope of performance includes sites throughout the state, with specific task order locations in Anchorage, Gustavus, Juneau, Yakutat, and other areas.
