High Performance Helicopters Corp

High Performance Helicopters Corp is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM.gov to do business with the federal government since 2012. Based in Redlands, California, the company provides a range of helicopter services including aviation support, wildland fire monitoring and suppression, stream restoration projects, and other operations requiring heavy-lift rotary aircraft.

Most of High Performance Helicopters Corp's federal prime contract work centers around providing rotary-wing aircraft and related services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The company holds multiple purchase orders awarded by the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region for delivering logs to stream restoration sites, transporting trees for habitat reconstruction projects, and related stream revitalization efforts. High Performance Helicopters Corp frequently works as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside awards for these environmental management initiatives. Additionally, the firm is the prime contractor on numerous delivery orders from the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management program and National Interagency Fire Center. These orders deploy High Performance Helicopters Corp's aircraft and personnel to perform aerial wildfire monitoring and suppression missions, reconnaissance flights, and other fire management operations across the country. The company serves in a prime role on firm-fixed price aviation support task orders ranging from around $20,000 to over $200,000, sometimes operating under an overarching indefinite delivery vehicle.
