About the company
Overwatch Aero LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Santa Maria, California, operates as a prime contractor providing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) flight operations, payload integration, and emergency fire response services to federal land management and research agencies. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations on the majority of its work, though it holds a small-business-set-aside position on its two primary indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of the Interior.
Overwatch Aero's portfolio centers on UAS operations and scientific payload testing for civilian agencies. Representative work includes a $7.2 million single-award IDC with the Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget (awarded June 2023, running through June 2026) for on-call UAS services supporting land management and surveying activities, with two delivery orders issued totaling $1.24 million; a $526,446 delivery order from NASA's Office of the Secretary of Defense (awarded November 2024) for UAS support to the Advanced Capabilities for Emergency Response Operations project on wildland fire management research; and a $248,900 definitive contract with NOAA (awarded July 2023) for FVR-90 UAS flight, pilot, and payload integration services supporting scientific research at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. The company recently secured a new $7.5 million multiple-award IDC with the Department of the Interior on June 15, 2026, set aside for small businesses under NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services except Geophysical) for emergency fire flight services covering the contiguous lower 48 states through June 2031.
Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget accounts for 5 awards and $16.6 million (93%) of combined potential value across the portfolio's $17.9 million total. NOAA (3 awards, $447 thousand), the Department of Agriculture's National Interagency Fire Center ($354 thousand), NASA ($18 thousand), and the Department of Defense ($526 thousand) round out the active set. Overwatch Aero operates exclusively as a prime — 100% of recent awards are primes — with no subcontractor footprint. The portfolio spans two parent vehicles: the $7.2 million Department of the Interior IDC (2023–2026) against which five delivery orders totaling $2.8 million have been issued, and the newly awarded $7.5 million Department of the Interior emergency fire services IDC (2026–2031). Award activity remained flat at four awards in both 2023 and 2024, dropped to one in 2025, and has ticked up to two in 2026; the vendor faces a $7.2 million recompete on its legacy Interior IDC in June 2026, though the new $7.5 million IDC mitigates that cliff exposure. SCI-reportable federal service contract data shows $541 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2024 across 0.4 FTEs, with median government-paid rates of $683.35/hr; this represents a minimal slice of the vendor's federal revenue and does not capture goods, fire services, or the bulk of UAS operations work performed under delivery orders and fixed-price task orders.
