T. Scott Dunn Construction, Inc.

T. Scott Dunn Construction, Inc., operating under the trade name Heli-Dunn, is a Medford, Oregon-based Subchapter S corporation delivering exclusive-use and on-call Type III helicopter flight services to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on indefinite delivery vehicles and maintains 100% prime positioning across its recent federal award footprint with no subcontractor work.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on contractor-operated and contractor-maintained Type III helicopter services for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burns, search and rescue, personnel and cargo transport, geological surveys, archaeological work, remote site maintenance, and resource management activities across the continental United States and Alaska. Representative work includes a $6.2 million single-award IDIQ with the Bureau of Land Management Arctic District Office for exclusive-use helicopter services in Fairbanks, Alaska, running through April 2030, which has generated two delivery orders totaling $1.67 million to date; a $49.5 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Interior Business Center for on-call Type III services nationwide through April 2027, under which the vendor has placed four task orders valued at approximately $788 thousand; and a $7.5 million Forest Service agreement supporting regional helicopter operations.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Interior. The top five customer entities account for 74% of awards and 95% of combined potential value, led by the Interior Business Center (10 awards, $109.1 million combined potential value), the Office of Policy Management and Budget (1 award, $40 million), the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (9 awards, $13.4 million), the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region (7 awards, $8.9 million), and the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (2 awards, $7.5 million). The Interior Business Center's dominance reflects its role as the contracting vehicle manager for the $49.5 million nationwide on-call IDIQ; the single large Office of Policy Management and Budget award ($40 million) suggests a capability reserve or fleet requirement distinct from task-order activity.

The vendor holds seats on five named parent IDIQs: the On-Call Type III Helicopter Flight Services 2022–2027 contract (4 task orders, $787 thousand), IND14PC00114 (6 task orders, $2.7 million), IND17PC00399 (6 task orders, $2.7 million), 140D0425D0016 (2 task orders, $1.7 million), and IND12PC00259 (2 task orders, $436 thousand). Award activity has remained modest and sporadic: 2 awards in 2021, 1 in 2022, 3 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 in 2026, with only one award (valued at $884 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. NAICS classification is 481211 (nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation), with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal service-contract reporting — $505 thousand invoiced in FY2022 across 0.2 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $991.22 per hour — reflecting the vendor's business model as an equipment and crew provider rather than a labor-hour service contractor.
