Provine Helicopter Service Inc.

Provine Helicopter Service Inc., based in Greenwood, Mississippi, provides aerial herbicide application, feral swine control, and wildlife management services to federal natural-resource agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides. The vendor operates 100% as a prime on federal contracts and has no subcontract footprint; all 42 awards in the source represent direct prime work.

The vendor's customer concentration reflects a strong regional focus on Interior Department wildlife stewardship. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 dominates both award count (13 awards, $390 thousand combined potential value) and potential-value share across the top five customers, which account for 69% of total awards and 91% of combined potential value. The single largest contract by dollar magnitude is a $381.1 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District, awarded August 1, 2026, for aerial herbicide application on 6,518 acres at Arkabutla Lake in Mississippi to control woody aquatic vegetation including water elm, button bush, and black willow — work performed in Coldwater, Mississippi, with completion targeted by January 29, 2027. This Army Corps order originated from a capability-statement request for information posted May 14, 2026. Representative work across Fish and Wildlife Service includes a $140.6 thousand aerial spraying contract at Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana (July 2022, completed September 2024) for broadleaf-plant control under NAICS 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating), a $57.9 thousand aerial gunning contract for feral-swine control at Upper Ouachita National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana (July 2023, running through January 31, 2029), and five small-business set-aside purchase orders for aerial herbicide application at North Mississippi and Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuges (September 2024 through July 2025, ranging from $5.9 thousand to $41.1 thousand).

The vendor's NAICS footprint skews heavily toward forestry support (15 awards) and soil preparation (8 awards), with PSC coding dominated by aerial fertilization and spraying (14 awards) and environmental-systems pesticide support (7 awards). All work is set-aside small-business; the vendor does not compete full-and-open. Activity has remained sparse — one to three awards per year over the past five years — with only one award ($381 thousand) facing recompete completion within the next twenty-four months. While the source lists 42 total awards dating to 1994, recent activity (2022–2026) spans only nine awards with combined potential value of $1.1 million, though combined obligated dollars of $2.2 million indicate execution above contract ceilings over the vendor's lifetime.
