Mount Hood Environmental has provided diverse services through federal contract awards. The U.S. Forest Service Region 6 awarded the company a $17,865 firm fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order for stream survey, data collection, and analysis on the Willamette National Forest, set to be completed by September 2025. This contract, set aside for small businesses, supports the Forest Service's land management activities. Additionally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Mount Hood Environmental a $44,655 firm fixed price purchase order for performing Bayesian model evaluation analysis of toxic urban stormwater threats to wild salmon and steelhead in Puget Sound, Washington. This specialized statistical analysis involved updating an existing customized modeling platform to assess land use impacts and seasonal precipitation on observed salmon spawner mortalities in urban watersheds. These contracts highlight the company's expertise in aquatic ecosystem assessment, data analysis, and environmental modeling, particularly in support of fisheries management and conservation efforts.

In terms of federal grant sub-awards, Mount Hood Environmental has been involved in geomorphic and project management services. The company received a sub-award under a prime grant to the Species Conservation Office for work on various tasks related to watershed management and species conservation. These tasks included project management, meetings and coordination, reference reach assessment, North Fork Salmon River assessment, concept development and planning, improving data pipeline efficiency, visualizations and sharing capacity results, refining watershed-scale capacity estimates, and estimating capacity uplift for the Lemhi/Hayden project complex. This sub-award demonstrates the company's capability in providing comprehensive environmental assessment and management services in support of species conservation efforts, particularly in riverine ecosystems. The work performed under this grant sub-award showcases Mount Hood Environmental's expertise in geomorphology, data management, and ecological capacity assessment, which are crucial for informed decision-making in conservation projects.

Mount Hood Environmental holds a significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) in the form of a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the USDA Forest Service.
