Nimbus Aerial Solutions LLC

Nimbus Aerial Solutions LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Beaufort, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor on atmospheric research and aerial survey services for federal environmental agencies and as a subcontractor on marine wildlife monitoring and wildland-fire operations. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement with no set-aside usage across its recent five-award footprint.

Nimbus delivers aerial survey flights, atmospheric sampling services, aircraft leasing, and pilot services for environmental research and monitoring applications. As a prime contractor, the vendor holds two direct purchase orders from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: a $84,000 order awarded September 2026 (with completion in September 2027) for atmospheric sampling survey flights approximately twenty miles east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, and a prior $140,400 five-year firm-fixed-price order from September 2024 (completion September 2026) covering the same aerial research sampling scope in the same area, with performance in Beaufort, North Carolina. In its subcontractor role, Nimbus delivers high-altitude, long-duration unmanned aircraft system flight services supporting wildland-fire operations under an unidentified prime (award date January 2026), and performs aircraft lease and pilot services as a sub to HDR Environmental, Operations And Construction, Inc. on a November 2025 nearshore and mid-shelf baleen whale monitoring contract and a May 2025 seal tagging and tracking project in Virginia.

The vendor's customer base remains concentrated in two agencies: NOAA accounts for both of its prime awards and $224,000 in combined potential value, while the Department of the Navy's United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) anchors its subcontract exposure through the HDR Environmental relationship. Activity is nascent — one award in 2024, two in 2025, two in 2026 — with one award (combined potential value $84,000) completing within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars exceed potential value at 249%, indicating scope modifications or re-obligations on existing orders. The vendor operates under Navy Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247020D0016, which carries two task orders.
