This award represents a delivery order contract within a larger multiple award indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) focused on Type 1 Helicopter Support Services. The recipient, Helioqwest International Inc., a specialized aerial support services small business, has been contracted to provide critical helicopter flight services in support of the Department of the Interior's wildland fire suppression mission. Through this contract, the agency gains flexible, call-when-needed aerial support capabilities essential for rapid response to wildfire incidents. The work includes providing on-demand helicopter operations primarily based out of Mesquite, Nevada, to support fire suppression efforts during the active fire season.

The contract covers a short-term period within a single year, aligning with the peak wildland fire season to maximize operational effectiveness.
