Crosswinds Ecological Consulting, LLC

Crosswinds Ecological Consulting, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since February 21, 2021, with registration valid through December 18, 2025. The company specializes in ecological consulting services, focusing primarily on environmental conservation, habitat management, and spatial mapping for conservation initiatives. Their work appears to center on sagebrush ecosystem preservation, wildlife connectivity research, and conservation planning for imperiled species, particularly in the western United States.

The company's federal contract work includes a notable purchase order from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, specifically a contract (ID: 140F0621P0127) related to Greater Sage-Grouse movement research. The contract, valued at $12,000, was awarded on May 1, 2021, with completion by December 31, 2021. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category and was issued directly by the civilian agency. While the available data shows only one federal contract, it demonstrates Crosswinds Ecological Consulting's capability to provide specialized ecological research services to federal wildlife management agencies.

Crosswinds Ecological Consulting has been more actively engaged in federal grant work, particularly with the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service. They have received two significant cooperative agreements focusing on sagebrush conservation and connectivity research. The first grant (F22AC02759), awarded on August 1, 2022, involves creating spatial action maps to identify functional connectivity between conservation landscapes and prioritize threat mitigation for sagebrush ecosystems. The second grant (F25AC00484), dated December 20, 2024, involves integrating multiple ecological datasets to assess conifer mitigation strategies and their impact on sagebrush habitat connectivity. Both grants aim to support comprehensive conservation planning for sagebrush-dependent species, particularly the Greater Sage-Grouse, by developing advanced spatial mapping and connectivity analysis tools.
