Corvus, LLC

Corvus, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Clovis, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor providing Type III helicopter flight services and aerial support for wildland fire management and natural resource operations across federal land agencies. The vendor competes full-and-open (no set-aside designation on its largest vehicle holdings) but qualifies for and has won small business set-asides on Forest Service definitive contracts; recent activity shows 100% prime awards with no subcontract footprint.

Corvus specializes in nonscheduled air transportation and aerial seeding services under NAICS 481211–481212 (nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation) and PSC V2X1 (aircraft services). The vendor's concrete capability base centers on Type III rotary-wing aviation for fire suppression, prescribed burns, animal capture and eradication, short-haul and rappel operations, and aerial seeding and mulching. Representative work includes a $2.15 million firm fixed-price definitive contract (awarded October 2023, completed February 2024) with the USDA Forest Service R3 Southwestern Region for road maintenance on the Santa Fe and Carson National Forests; a $607,404 small business set-aside definitive contract (awarded September 2024) with the Forest Service for South Fork Aerial Seeding & Mulching on 1,136 acres of high and moderate soil burn severity areas in the Ruidoso, New Mexico national forest; and three recent delivery orders (April, May, and June 2026, totaling $381 thousand) against the HSS MATOC Type 3 indefinite delivery contract with the National Interagency Fire Center.

Customer concentration is tight and regional. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors 60.9% of combined potential value across four awards ($21.4 million), the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center contributes 31.3% ($11 million), and the Forest Service R3 Southwestern Region accounts for 8% ($2.8 million). The Interior BPA is a single-award, $11 million contract (awarded May 2025, running through April 2030 with possible six-month extension) under a 100 percent small business set-aside for on-call Type III helicopter flight services supporting the Animal Capture, Eradication, and Tagging of Animals (ACETA) and Wild Horse and Burro (WH&B) programs across the Lower 48 States. Corvus's primary vehicle position is a $21 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (awarded February 2026, ceiling through December 2032) under the HSS MATOC Type 3 vehicle, where three task orders totaling $381 thousand have been placed. Activity has accelerated in 2026 with four awards year-to-date after one award per year in 2023–2025. Two awards (combined potential value $262 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor's portfolio carries $35.1 million in combined potential value across seven prime awards, with $3.1 million obligated to date (9% of ceiling).
