Indefinite Delivery Contract AG9J61C120002

This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region of the U.S. Forest Service, a civilian agency, to San-Joaquin Helicopters Inc., a veteran-owned small business. The contract is for fuel tender/aviation services in support of fire suppression activities in Region 5 during the contract period of June 1 through September 30, with a ceiling value of $122,285.46 over the base year and four option years. Multiple firm-fixed price task orders have been issued under this IDC for specific fire suppression support engagements at various locations in California and Rhode Island, with individual task order ceiling values ranging from $98 to $25,650. The work under this contract is set aside for total small business concerns.

The primary purpose of this IDC is to provide fuel tender/aviation services to support wildfire suppression and response efforts across Region 5. The task orders issued to date indicate the contractor has provided these services at various incident locations, with the work scoped and priced on a firm-fixed price basis. This contract appears to be a critical component of the agency's ability to respond effectively to wildfires in its jurisdiction through the delivery of reliable fuel supply and transport services.
