About D.h. Helicopter, Inc.
D.h. Helicopter, Inc., doing business as North American Helicopter, is an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business based in Mascoutah, Illinois that provides rotary-wing aircraft services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint. The company operates across federal wildfire suppression, aerial reconnaissance, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response missions, competing predominantly under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations rather than 8(a) or HUBZone vehicles.
North American Helicopter's federal portfolio centers on wildland firefighting and aerial support services. Representative prime work includes a $7.85 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center (May 2025, Total Small Business set-aside) for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services in the Siskiyou area of California, a $303,513 delivery order with the U.S. Forest Service (March 2026) for helicopter flight services supporting the Department of Interior's fire suppression mission in Ochopee, Florida, and a $1 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance office (February 2026, Total Small Business set-aside) for aerial reconnaissance services through January 2031. The company holds a $50 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the National Interagency Fire Center for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services running through December 2034, a $1.27 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for helicopter support services through February 2029, and a $3.5 million single-award IDC with the U.S. Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center (expired December 2024) that anchored most of the company's activity from 2023 through early 2025.
Customer concentration is extreme. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 27 awards valued at $67.9 million (82% of combined potential value), while the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha places the second-largest volume at 52 awards but only $7.8 million in combined potential value — a stark divergence between order count and dollar value. The top five customer agencies by potential-value ranking cover 99% of the portfolio. Activity peaked in 2024 with 18 awards, declining to six awards in 2025 and four year-to-date in 2026. Only three awards (combined potential value $334,000) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term; however, the $3.5 million National Interagency Fire Center single-award IDC that drove substantial 2023–2024 volume expired December 2024 and has not been succeeded by a comparable vehicle, representing material revenue cliff risk offset partly by the new $50 million Type 1 IDIQ awarded in January 2025.
Work is performed nationwide from the Mascoutah, Illinois headquarters, with task order performance locations spanning California, Florida, Maine, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and multiple Corps of Engineers districts. The portfolio spans 115 awards under Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (NAICS 481211) and 29 under Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation (NAICS 481212), with dominant PSC codes rooted in forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (27 awards), passenger air charter services (40 awards), and miscellaneous inspection work (46 awards).
