About this vehicle

The Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Interior Business Center awarded this Master IDIQ for on-call R44 helicopter flight services supporting fire and resource management operations across Alaska on April 15, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $500 thousand. Ordering closed on October 3, 2016; a successor vehicle, DOI Alaska On Call Helicopter Flight Services 2016-2017, was established at that cutoff. The 2013-2016 vehicle is inactive.

Over its three-year-plus lifecycle, the IDIQ generated 141 task orders with a combined potential value of $2.7 million, fully obligated. Order activity peaked in 2015 (48 orders) before declining to 31 orders in 2016. Five prime contractors shared the work. Pollux Aviation, LTD. led by potential value with $846 thousand across 33 orders, followed by Hermens Helicopters Inc. ($634 thousand, 38 orders), Chena River Aviation Incorporated ($569 thousand, 29 orders), and Quicksilver Air, Inc. ($498 thousand, 30 orders). Tanalian Aviation, Inc. held the remaining $191 thousand across 11 orders. Competition remained relatively distributed; no single prime captured more than roughly one-third of potential value.

Ordering agencies were concentrated within Interior: the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region placed 40 orders ($583 thousand), Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 placed 35 orders ($716 thousand), and National Park Service Alaska Region placed 33 orders ($673 thousand). United States Geological Survey and the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service accounted for the balance. Nearly all orders (99 percent) carried no set-aside designation; one small-business order appeared in the portfolio.

Individual task orders ranged widely in value, from cancellations and closeouts at $0 to high-complexity operations at $125.7 million (brown bear capture across Lake Clark, Katmai, and Gates of the Arctic). Typical orders ranged between $10 thousand and $50 thousand for discrete survey, monitoring, and capture missions. All work was performed in Alaska. Pricing was consistently firm fixed price. Place of performance was limited to Alaska throughout the vehicle's life.
