Copper Mountain Services LLC

Copper Mountain Services LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Twentynine Palms, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized water and wastewater infrastructure repair, rehabilitation, and construction services to federal land-management agencies across the western United States, with 100 percent of recent awards as prime contracts under total small business and SDVOSB set-asides.

Copper Mountain Services holds SBA SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Small Business certifications (both expiring July 18, 2027) and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation and competes almost exclusively under set-aside vehicles—predominantly Total Small Business set-asides and SDVOSB sole-source awards. Recent work centers on water system replacement and rehabilitation, wastewater and sewer infrastructure repair, fire suppression system upgrades, electrical distribution system work, and facility maintenance across national parks, national forests, and Bureau of Land Management sites in the western region.

Representative recent prime work includes a $1.98 million SDVOSB sole-source definitive contract with the National Park Service Pacific West Region for water distribution, wastewater collection, and electrical system rehabilitation at Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park (awarded September 2023, extended through March 2025); a $437 thousand total small business set-aside contract with NPS for water tank rehabilitation at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon (awarded September 2024, due September 2025); a $1.55 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with NPS for fire alarm and security system upgrades at Death Valley's Scotty Historic District (awarded September 2025, completed March 2026); and a $499.9 thousand SDVOSB set-aside contract with NPS for water supply line replacement at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada (awarded September 2021, completed September 2022).

Customer concentration is extreme: the National Park Service Pacific West Region alone accounts for 59 of 94 total awards (81 percent coverage by award count) and $56.1 million of the combined $59 million potential value. The U.S. Forest Service—split across the Southwestern Region (7 awards, $304 thousand), Pacific Southwest Region (5 awards, $303 thousand), and Intermountain Region (2 awards, $65 thousand)—represents the secondary customer set with $672 thousand combined potential value. The Department of the Interior, U.S. Coast Guard, and Bureau of Land Management account for the remainder. This concentration reflects Copper Mountain's positioning as a specialized water-infrastructure contractor for parks and protected lands managed by Interior and Agriculture.

Copper Mountain recently secured an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract from NPS Pacific West Region (awarded March 30, 2026) with a $45 million ceiling and performance period through February 18, 2031. This single-award contract covers construction services—new construction, repair and rehabilitation of structures, utilities, roadways, fire and safety systems, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing—across all NPS units within the Pacific West Region. Individual task orders range from $2,000 to $5 million, with a contractual requirement that small business prime contractors perform at least 15 percent of work on each task order. One task order ($2 thousand minimum guarantee delivery order) has been issued against this IDIQ as of the most recent update (April 7, 2026).

Activity has remained relatively consistent across 2022–2025, ranging from six to eight awards annually, with 94 total prime awards since 2016 and $14 million obligated against $59 million combined potential value (24 percent spend-down rate). The vendor's work footprint breaks down by NAICS: Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction dominates (41 awards), followed by Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (7 awards) and Site Preparation Contractors (6 awards). By PSC code, Repair or Alteration of Sewage and Waste Facilities and Repair or Alteration of Water Supply Facilities each account for 9 awards; Construction of Water Supply Facilities covers 8 awards.

Copper Mountain performs no subcontract work and carries no subcontractors. Place of performance is dispersed across the Pacific West Region—national parks, monuments, and recreation areas in California and Nevada, with some Forest Service work in Arizona and Oregon. The company's value proposition rests on specialized expertise in federal infrastructure repair, water system rehabilitation, and compliance with park-specific operational requirements and archaeological protocols at heritage sites. Set-aside posture and customer concentration create both opportunity and risk: while the SDVOSB and total small business designations anchor the prime footprint, concentration at NPS Pacific West Region and the emerging IDIQ vehicle structure the near-term pipeline.
