V--EXCLUSIVE USE (EU) HELICOPTER (HELO) Type III NON-

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide fully operated and maintained Exclusive‑Use (EU) Type III resource helicopters for the Arctic District Office in Fairbanks, AK. The contract, spanning 05 May 2025 through 30 April 2030, requires the provision of a helicopter (and crew) that meets or exceeds the Minimum Aircraft Requirements set out in Section A, along with all associated equipment to support natural‑resource missions such as personnel and cargo transport, high‑ and low‑level aerial reconnaissance, and non‑threatening law‑enforcement surveillance. The solicitation specifies daily availability (110 days) and flight‑hour estimates (275 hours) with optional extension periods, and all offers must be submitted electronically as separate files per the instructions in Section D. Offers will be evaluated on four factors: Technical Capability, Organizational Safety, Past Performance, and Total Evaluated Price. The first three non‑priced factors are of equal weight and together outweigh price. Technical Capability will be judged against the Section A/B aircraft requirements and any enhancements; Organizational Safety will assess strengths and weaknesses; Past Performance will consider currency, relevance, and performance confidence. Proposals from large businesses are deemed unacceptable, and any aircraft that fails to meet the Minimum Aircraft Requirements will be rejected outright. Offerors must comply with all applicable FAR, DIAR, and AQD provisions and submit their best price and technical terms in the initial offer, as the Government intends to award without discussions unless it elects otherwise.
