About the company
Aerial Services, Inc., a SBA-certified woman-owned small business based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, operates as a prime contractor specializing in aerial imagery and geospatial data collection for federal natural resource management and agricultural monitoring programs. The company holds a dominant position on a $174.1 million single-award BPA with USDA Farm Production and Conservation running through November 2026, which serves as the master vehicle for multiple USDA agencies to issue task orders.
Aerial Services' capability footprint centers on high-resolution aerial imagery acquisition, orthorectification, digital mapping, terrain modeling, and LiDAR services. Recent representative work includes a $5.14 million firm fixed-price call for 2024 Stewardship Lands Aerial Imagery (awarded March 2024, complete December 2025), a $3.42 million BPA task order from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for orthorectified imagery supporting the Stewardship Land Program across South, Midwest, and Northeast states (awarded February 2022, complete December 2023), a $1.61 million 2026 Stewardship Land Imagery and easement services call (awarded April 2026, complete September 2026), a $1.21 million National Resources Inventory aerial imagery contract covering 6,279 sites across Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska, Ohio, Hawaii, and the Caribbean (awarded April 2026, complete September 2026), and a $954.6 thousand FY2022 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) task order from USDA Farm Service Agency. GSA Schedule labor offerings span twenty categories at $69.60–$163.78 per hour, including GIS and Lettering Technicians, Imagery Analysts, Photogrammetrists, Senior Imagery Analysts, Survey Technicians, Computer Programmers, and Project Managers — all requiring bachelor's degrees, no security clearances.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward USDA entities. The top five funding agencies account for 58% of awards by count, led by USDA Farm Service Agency Aerial Photography Field Office (22 awards, $47.8 million combined potential value) and USDA Farm Service Agency Washington Office (22 awards, $21.3 million combined potential value). By potential value, the ranking shifts dramatically: the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants anchors 80% of combined potential value across all awards with eight awards valued at $762.6 million, followed by USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation (5 awards, $178.1 million combined potential value). This disparity signals that while USDA places numerous smaller imagery acquisition orders, USDI carries the largest single contracts. Across 146 total prime awards (100% prime footprint, no sub role), the company serves sixteen distinct customer agencies. The vendor operates predominantly under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (20 task orders, $211 million combined potential value) and several Army Corps of Engineers IDICs, with minor activity under USDA-managed indefinite delivery contracts.
Activity remains concentrated in USDA work. Annual award counts have been volatile — two awards in 2021, four in 2022, two in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — reflecting the episodic nature of geospatial contracting (imagery collection follows annual agricultural and conservation cycles). Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.5 million, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. Primary NAICS coding centers on Commercial Photography (76 awards) and Surveying and Mapping Services (18 awards). SCI-reported federal service contract activity in the source shows $2.1 million invoiced in FY2022 across 2.4 FTEs, with no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2023; this reflects the goods-heavy nature of Aerial Services' federal footprint (imagery acquisition is typically classified as products or photo/map services under PSC codes rather than labor services). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime work ranged from around $283/hr at the tenth percentile to a median of $493.46/hr, with senior positions reaching $2,593.22/hr at the ninetieth percentile. Across SCI-prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 7% of total hours, with five named subcontractors cited, indicating that Aerial Services builds most of its delivery capability in-house rather than relying on subcontractor networks.
