Nimbus Aerial Solutions LLC

Nimbus Aerial Solutions LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Beaufort, North Carolina, operates primarily as a subcontractor (75% of recent awards) providing aerial survey and monitoring services to federal agencies, with a single prime purchase order from NOAA and three subcontracts under HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction, Inc. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement; no set-asides appear in the recent footprint.

Nimbus Aerial Solutions delivers atmospheric research air sampling flights, high-altitude long-duration UAS operations over wildland fires, and specialized aerial monitoring and tagging services for marine wildlife. The prime award consists of a five-year firm-fixed-price NOAA purchase order valued at $140,400 for atmospheric research air sampling survey flights approximately twenty miles east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, with performance in Beaufort, North Carolina and completion by September 11, 2026. Under HDR Environmental, the vendor provides UAS flight services for wildland fire monitoring (awarded January 1, 2026), nearshore and mid-shelf baleen whale monitoring (awarded November 12, 2025), and seal tagging and tracking support in Virginia (awarded May 19, 2025).

Customer concentration remains nascent. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of the Navy's United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) together account for 75% of awards by count, with NOAA anchoring the sole prime award at $140,400 combined potential value. Nimbus Aerial Solutions holds two task orders under the Navy's IDC N6247020D0016. Activity has trended upward — one award in 2024, two in 2025, one in early 2026 — though the overall footprint remains small at four total awards. The NOAA prime purchase order (combined potential value $140,400) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete.
