About the company
Westwind Helicopters Inc. operates as a small-business prime contractor (100% of recent awards) providing aerial helicopter services for wildlife management, invasive species eradication, and natural resource support to federal land and resource agencies, with a total of 109 prime awards spanning three decades and a combined potential value of $62.8 million across ten customer agencies.
Westwind Helicopters is a for-profit business entity headquartered in Santa Fe, Texas, operating under NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) and PSC V199 (other aircraft services). The company competes exclusively under total small-business set-asides. Recent capability work centers on Type III helicopter operations for animal capture, eradication, tagging, and survey programs — a $11 million single-award BPA from the Interior Business Center (awarded May 6, 2025, running through April 30, 2030) for on-call aerial capture and eradication services across the Lower 48 States supporting the Animal Capture, Eradication, and Tagging (ACETA) and Wild Horse and Burro programs; a $238,549.62 BPA call from the Army's Southwest Region for wild pig eradication at Fort Cavazos (awarded September 20, 2025); and a $171,500 purchase order from the Department of the Army for 100 helicopter flight hours supporting the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan at Fort Cavazos (awarded September 24, 2024).
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Interior. The Interior Business Center (a subdivison of DOI Departmental Offices) anchors the portfolio with 2 awards carrying $60.5 million in combined potential value — the two largest IDVs dominate dollars while the broader DOI footprint (70 awards across departmental offices) drives volume. The Department of the Army, including the Corps of Engineers and the Installation Management Command Southwest Region, accounts for $2.1 million across six awards. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission places 15 awards, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service represents one award.
Westwind places 72% of its award count across three Interior Business Center IDVs: a $49.5 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract for on-call Type III helicopter flight services awarded May 1, 2022 (running through April 30, 2027, with 18 task orders), an indefinite-delivery contract numbered 801464 (13 task orders), and an indefinite-delivery contract numbered 801471 (10 task orders). These vehicles support wildland firefighting, search and rescue, prescribed burns, law enforcement surveillance, and natural resource management across the continental United States. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: one award with $238 thousand in combined potential value reaching completion.
