This award represents a delivery order contract under the larger multiple-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) known as HSS MATOC Type 3. The recipient, P.J. Helicopters, Inc., is a specialized aerial operations business providing helicopter services primarily focused on firefighting and general aerial support. This delivery order specifically covers a short-term engagement involving critical helicopter service operations in Red Bluff, California, scheduled over a few weeks in mid-2026, with a potential extension into early September. The contract was derived from a competitive multiple-award framework ensuring fair access to qualified aerial service providers. Leveraging their expertise, P.J.
