About the company
D.h. Helicopter, Inc. (doing business as North American Helicopter), a Women-Owned Small Business based in Mascoutah, Illinois, provides rotary-wing aircraft support and aerial services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on task orders, delivery orders, and blanket purchase agreements. The company operates on full-and-open competition without relying on set-aside categories, though it holds SBA Women-Owned Small Business certification and competes under Total Small Business set-asides on certain delivery orders. North American Helicopter is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with primary NAICS classification in nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation (115 of 158 recent awards).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to wildland firefighting and emergency response missions. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), operating under the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management directorate, accounts for 32 awards valued at $71.4 million in combined potential value — representing 83% of the vendor's total potential-value base. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for the second-largest share across three organizational components: Engineering District Omaha (52 awards, $7.8 million), the parent Army Corps entity (24 awards, $3.7 million), and subordinate engineering districts (28 awards combined, $659 thousand). The U.S. Customs and Border Protection operates at a smaller scale (3 awards, $1.3 million). These five customer entities account for 99% of combined potential value. The concentration reflects North American Helicopter's core mission: aerial firefighting, wildfire reconnaissance, short-haul operations, rappel missions, infrastructure inspection, flood response, and data collection across multiple geographic locations, with place of performance typically at the vendor's base in Mascoutah, Illinois or at operational sites in California, Florida, Maine, and the Midwest.
North American Helicopter holds four principal IDV vehicles. The Type 1 Helicopter Support Services 2025-2034 IDIQ with NIFC (multiple award, $50 million ceiling, January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2034) anchors the vendor's wildfire-suppression footprint; as of the source date, 9 delivery orders totaling $12.1 million in combined potential value have been issued against this vehicle. A single-award indefinite delivery contract with NIFC valued at $3.5 million (April 14, 2023 through December 31, 2024) supported earlier fire seasons; over $2.5 million in delivery orders were drawn down against it through 2024. The Army Corps of Engineers Finance office awarded a single-award aerial reconnaissance IDC (Total Small Business set-aside, $1 million ceiling, February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031) to North American Helicopter. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Contracting Division awarded a multiple-award BPA for helicopter support services ($1.27 million ceiling, February 3, 2025 through February 2, 2029). Three legacy Army Corps IDC vehicles — W9128F09A0013 (36 task orders, $1.4 million), 1202SA23T9200 (22 task orders, $6.1 million), and W9128F14A0004 (15 task orders, $543 thousand) — continue to support Corps operations through their original completion dates. Representative recent work includes a $7.85 million Siskiyou, California firefighting delivery order under the NIFC 2025-2034 vehicle (May 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, performance through December 2029), a $742,957.93 delivery order for helicopter support services from NIFC (August 16, 2026), and a $1 million Army Corps single-award IDC for aerial reconnaissance services (February 2026).
Activity has grown modestly year over year — 2 awards in 2022, 18 in 2024, 6 in 2025 (a partial-year count), and 9 through early September 2026. Only 2 awards totaling $314 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates entirely as a prime; no subcontract footprint is present in the source. Across all recent activity, North American Helicopter competes under full-and-open procurement mechanisms when set-asides are not applied, and under Total Small Business set-asides when designated — a posture consistent with Women-Owned Small Business certification without reliance on 8(a) or HUBZone vehicles.
