The Department of the Interior has awarded Vertical Solutions LLC, a for-profit limited liability company doing business as Vshelicopters, a multiple-award indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract valued up to $16.47 million to provide on-call helicopter flight services in Alaska through February 2024. Under this IDIQ, various Interior subagencies including the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Bureau of Land Management have issued firm-fixed price and fixed-price with economic adjustment delivery orders to Vshelicopters ranging from $0 to over $94,000 to support their operational requirements across remote regions of Alaska. The contracted helicopter transportation services facilitate activities such as land management, scientific research, law enforcement, emergency response, infrastructure maintenance, archaeological surveys, and glacier monitoring. No set-asides were applied to the majority of the delivery orders. The original pre-solicitation indicated the Department of the Interior was seeking contractor-provided helicopter flight services in Alaska. Vshelicopters, as the prime contractor, has an extensive history of providing helicopter services to Interior agencies in Alaska and leverages its fleet of aircraft based in Valdez and Anchorage to fulfill the on-call and scheduled transportation needs specified in the delivery orders. The work is primarily conducted in cities and towns across Alaska including Glennallen, Valdez, Prudhoe Bay, and Kennicott Glacier, supporting the mission-critical programs of Interior subagencies through reliable and responsive helicopter support services.
