The Department of the Interior (DOI) awarded a $16.47 million multiple award indefinite delivery contract to Soloy Helicopters LLC, an Alaskan-owned helicopter charter company, to provide on-call contractor-operated helicopter flight services in support of DOI agency field work and research activities across Alaska. The contract has a period of performance through February 28, 2026 and allows for the issuance of fixed-price delivery orders for helicopter transportation services as needed, including for wildland firefighting, glacier monitoring, polar bear research, and other programs conducted by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Geological Survey. In addition, Soloy Helicopters holds a separate $9.8 million single award IDV contract with DOI to provide exclusive use of Type 2 helicopters for wildland firefighting response efforts in Alaska. The initial solicitation for these contracts was open to all businesses, with no set-aside designations, and sought to establish long-term on-call and dedicated helicopter support capabilities to enable DOI's mission requirements in the Alaskan region. Under the multiple award IDV, Soloy Helicopters has received various fixed-price delivery orders to date, ranging from $34,010 for water resource and fish data collection, to $276,480 for polar bear biopsy darting and capture operations, to $0 orders for passive acoustic equipment retrieval and glacier monitoring flights. The contractor will provide helicopter services from multiple locations in Alaska, including Anchorage, Wasilla, Utqiagvik, and Talkeetna, to support the diverse field research and operational needs of DOI's civilian agencies.
