JD Rovolus LLC

JD Rovolus LLC, a minority-owned, Black American-owned small business based in Ypsilanti, Michigan, delivers aviation environmental engineering, software development, and technical consulting services exclusively to the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor on delivery orders under a single master IDIQ vehicle. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability partnership and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, though it also wins full-and-open competitive awards; across its 96 recent prime awards, set-aside work and unrestricted competition split roughly evenly.

Customer concentration is absolute: the FAA Headquarters accounts for 95 of 96 awards and $86.6 million of the $86.8 million combined potential value, with one outlier award from the FAA Southwestern Region totaling $200 thousand. This customer lock is the defining feature of JD Rovolus's federal footprint. The company places all task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract 693KA9-18-D-00005, the FAA Headquarters' master IDIQ for aviation environmental engineering and technical consulting, which carries 95 task orders totaling $36.3 million in combined potential value. All work is performed directly at the company's Ypsilanti facility with no subcontractors.

JD Rovolus's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in FAA environmental and sustainability initiatives. Named work includes a $1.68 million time-and-materials delivery order awarded August 2025 for Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) program technical consulting and software development support; a $652 thousand award from February 2026 for international technical analyses supporting fuel reporting, modeling, and tools; a $515.8 thousand August 2025 delivery order for International Civil Aviation Organization Committee for Aviation Environmental Protection (ICAO CAEP) technical analyses and policy support; and recurring task orders supporting AEDT sustainment, CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), CLEEN (Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise) program initiatives, noise research, emissions modeling, NEPA compliance documentation, and international aviation environmental policy coordination. Recent orders from September 2026 include a $267 thousand environmental policy and operations support award and an $81 thousand delivery order for FAA analyses on market accessibility and affordability of eligible emissions units for U.S. operators.

Activity has fluctuated year over year — 10 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 6 through September 2026 — with no clear directional trend. Ten awards carrying combined potential value of $3.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. The company obligated $31.3 million against combined potential value of $86.8 million across all awards (36% obligation rate), indicating significant unspent authority and runway on active delivery orders.
