Corvus, LLC

Corvus, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Clovis, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor delivering Type III rotary-wing aviation services for federal wildland fire management, aerial animal capture and eradication, and emergency land restoration across the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior. All fourteen awards in the recent footprint are prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles; the company does not subcontract.

Corvus specializes in nonscheduled air transportation and aerial support services classified under NAICS 481211/481212 (nonscheduled chartered and on-demand passenger air transportation) and PSC code V2X1 (aircraft services). The capability portfolio centers on Type III helicopter operations for fire suppression, prescribed burns, aerial seeding and mulching, wildlife capture and eradication, census and survey operations, and short-haul and rappel missions. Representative named work includes a $607,404 small-business-set-aside definitive contract from the USDA Forest Service for aerial seeding and mulching on the South Fork Fire in Ruidoso, New Mexico (completed October 31, 2024), a $2.15 million total-small-business road maintenance contract for the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests (awarded October 2023), and a $21 million Indefinite Delivery Contract from the National Interagency Fire Center under the HSS MATOC Type 3 vehicle (awarded February 2026, running through December 31, 2032).

Customer concentration is narrow and heavily concentrated in fire and aviation operations. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 11 awards totaling $22.4 million combined potential value (62% of the prime portfolio), anchored by the $21 million HSS MATOC Type 3 IDC and ten subsequent delivery orders issued between April and September 2026 for active fire-season operations. The Department of Interior's Interior Business Center holds a single $11 million BPA (100% small-business set-aside) for Type III helicopter services supporting animal capture, eradication, and tagging programs across the Lower 48 States through April 2030. The USDA Forest Service Region 3 Southwestern Region accounts for 2 awards ($2.8 million). The two rankings by award count and by potential value diverge notably — the IDC and BPA skew the dollar distribution, but delivery-order volume against the NIFC HSS MATOC Type 3 contract shows sustained seasonal demand.

Activity has accelerated sharply in 2026 — one award per year in 2023–2025 (the road maintenance and seeding contracts), then eleven awards in 2026, all delivery orders against the HSS MATOC Type 3 IDC. Combined potential value is $36.1 million across the footprint, with $4.1 million obligated (11% of ceiling). Only two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $262 thousand, leaving the vendor's large IDV positions and the Interior BPA as stable, multi-year vehicles extending through 2027–2030. The HSS MATOC Type 3 IDC runs through December 31, 2032.
