Northstar Trekking, LLC

Northstar Trekking, LLC (doing business as North Star Trekking LLC), a small business based in Juneau, Alaska, provides helicopter flight operations and aerial surveying services to federal land management and emergency response agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards), competing predominantly without set-aside designations on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders across Alaska's remote terrain. The vendor is a child entity of Survey Point Holdings, Inc., a for-profit Alaska corporation.

Northstar Trekking's capability portfolio centers on exclusive-use and on-call helicopter services, aerial surveying, wildland firefighting logistics, climate monitoring, personnel and equipment transport, and emergency response support across Alaska. Representative recent work includes a $606,581 delivery order from the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region for exclusive-use Type III non-fire helicopter services (May–September 2024), an $803,333 delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center for the Juneau 100-Day Map project (June 2025), a $595,083 delivery order from BLM Alaska for helicopter services supporting federal land management (May–September 2023), and a $51,248 delivery order from the USDA Forest Service Alaska Region for on-call helicopter services supporting Wrangell-St. Elias National Park operations near Yakutat (June 2024). The vendor holds two core indefinite delivery contracts: a $16.47 million multiple-award IDC from the Department of the Interior Interior Business Center for on-call helicopter flight services through February 28, 2027, and a $5 million single-award IDC from the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region for exclusive-use light helicopter cadastral flight services through April 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is dominated by federal land management and wildfire response agencies. The top five customer offices account for 75% of recent awards: the National Interagency Fire Center (11 awards, $7.4 million combined potential value), the Interior Business Center (8 awards, $32.4 million combined potential value), the Forest Service R10-Alaska Region (8 awards, $74 thousand combined potential value), the National Park Service Alaska Region (8 awards, $189 thousand combined potential value), and the U.S. Coast Guard (6 awards, $17 thousand combined potential value). By dollar value, the Interior Departmental Offices Office of Policy Management and Budget anchors the portfolio with a single award of $38.2 million, reflecting the vendor's position on the large Interior IDC; the Interior Business Center's eight awards total $32.4 million. Work is performed in Juneau, Gustavus, Yakutat, Anchorage, and throughout Alaska's remote regions.

Activity has grown unevenly over the past five years — seven awards in 2022, five in 2023, eleven in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 (as of July 2026). The vendor faces minimal near-term recompete exposure: only one award with an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months, valued at $46 thousand, will require recompete action. The vendor's two anchor IDC vehicles — the Interior multiple-award contract and the BLM single-award contract — do not reach their ultimate completion dates until February 2027 and April 2026, respectively, and are the primary sources of ongoing task-order volume.

Northstar Trekking operates as a pure prime on federal work and does not rely on subcontractors for core helicopter delivery; the vendor appears in the sub-award portfolio only three times across the period, all as a subcontractor to Chugach Dynamic Solutions LLC on IP radio installation helicopter transport support (May 2026, March 2025, and October 2024). On SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, Northstar Trekking invoiced $1.2 million across three prime records spanning FY2023–FY2024, with roughly 1.3 FTEs in each of those fiscal years. Government-paid hourly rates on those contracts ran consistently around $227/hr. SCI coverage is partial — it excludes goods, micro-purchases, and contracts below the reporting threshold — and the $1.2 million reflects only a subset of the vendor's federal service-contract revenue and a fraction of total enterprise activity.

Northstar Trekking's award history spans from 2007 forward, with 55 total awards across prime and sub roles. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation (39 awards) and Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation (13 awards), with supporting engineering services work (3 awards). The portfolio is concentrated in Alaska-region operations; the vendor holds no multi-region presence and competes principally for federal helicopter and aviation logistics work serving land management, wildfire response, and emergency operations in Alaska's challenging remote environment. With $85.4 million in combined potential value across all awards and only $4 million (5%) obligated to date, Northstar Trekking carries significant undisbursed ceiling value on its core IDCs, indicating room for continued task-order growth within existing contract vehicles through 2026 and 2027.
