The company's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive experience in aerial application services, primarily focused on vegetation control, invasive species management, and land rehabilitation. High Desert Aviation has secured numerous small business set-aside contracts, predominantly with the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region, involving herbicide applications on public lands, sagebrush seeding, and fuels management projects. Contract scopes have included chemical applications across tens of thousands of acres, targeting invasive plants like cheatgrass, yellow starthistle, and noxious weeds. The company also provides critical services to military installations, performing aerial spraying to maintain training ranges, control brush, and manage ground vegetation at Army bases such as Fort Riley, Kansas, using precision GPS-guided application techniques.

High Desert Aviation holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs): a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for land management integrated resources services, valid through March 2033, and an $883,711 Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region for aerial spraying services, with a performance period through April 2028. These IDVs enable the company to provide professional services across multiple federal agencies, including project management, natural resource consulting, restoration work, and aerial application services.
