About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP #63500-00004995) for helicopter services to conduct mule deer population surveys in Baker, Malheur, and Union counties. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide a helicopter with an experienced pilot and a fuel truck with driver to support wildlife population sampling methodologies. Specific requirements include an aircraft with appropriate seating capacity, necessary equipment, and strict maintenance standards, along with a pilot possessing minimum low-elevation flying experience. ODFW anticipates requiring 50 flight hours with flights averaging 7.5 hours, operating out of Baker City and La Grande airports and conducting refueling operations in remote areas. The project is scheduled to commence on January 15, 2023, and conclude by March 1, 2023, with proposals due by December 8, 2022, at 3:00 PM PDT. Evaluation criteria involve a comprehensive scoring process, as demonstrated in preliminary results where Baker Aircraft received 281 out of 300 possible points, ultimately being selected as the intended contractor.
The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Based on the preliminary results document, two vendors competed for the contract: APEX Helicopter and Baker Aircraft, with Baker Aircraft receiving the highest evaluation score. While specific budget details are not disclosed, the contract involves substantial aerial survey work requiring specialized aviation capabilities. The intent to award letter indicates that the final contract is contingent upon Baker Aircraft's review and signing of contract documents and providing proof of insurance. ODFW reserves the right to modify contract terms, potentially extending the contract duration or adjusting service specifications. The procurement appears focused on securing specialized scientific aviation services to support wildlife population research, with a clear emphasis on technical capability, pilot experience, and operational reliability in challenging remote terrain across multiple Oregon counties.
