Raven Environmental Services, Inc.

Raven Environmental Services, Inc. is a small business prime contractor based in Huntsville, Texas that delivers red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) habitat restoration, NEPA compliance, wildlife management, and forestry services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and smaller volumes of work to the Army Corps of Engineers and Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on BPA calls and delivery orders.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily tilted toward Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region), which accounts for 106 of the 178 total awards tracked and $47.6 million of the $104.5 million combined potential value — 90% of award count and 45% of dollars. The single largest potential-value customer is the USDA Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, anchored by a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA awarded July 2, 2025, running through March 6, 2033. A secondary $7.5 million single-award BPA for vegetation management across Texas national forests was awarded September 1, 2025, with performance through August 31, 2030. Raven also holds a $7.5 million Kisatchie National Forest vegetation-and-wildlife BPA (November 2, 2022 through November 30, 2027, with option year exercised through November 30, 2026) and a $250 thousand Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service five-year historic-property research BPA. The army corps accounts for 22 awards but only $372 thousand combined potential value, reflecting transactional endangered-species analysis and survey work rather than sustained vehicle positions.

Raven's primary work streams center on RCW artificial cavity installation, refurbishment, and monitoring across southern national forests; NEPA environmental assessments, biological evaluations, and biological surveys supporting timber sales and habitat projects; vegetation management and thinning operations; and timber-stand marking. Representative delivery orders and BPA calls include a $439.8 thousand delivery order for resource surveys and NEPA analysis on the Moore Grove RCW Habitat Project at Sam Houston National Forest (August 25, 2025), a $256.2 thousand delivery order for RCW cluster maintenance and insert installation on Sam Houston (June 1, 2025), a $126.5 thousand delivery order for environmental assessment and biological evaluation on Shearwood Creek Restoration (October 1, 2024), and a $110.7 thousand BPA call for environmental assessment and biological evaluation on the Glover Project at Davy Crockett National Forest (September 30, 2025). Lower-dollar RCW insert installation calls range from approximately $7 thousand to $44 thousand and recur across Winn, Catahoula, and Calcasieu ranger districts in Louisiana and across Texas forests. The vendor's NAICS concentration is Support Activities for Forestry (112 awards) and Environmental Consulting Services (49 awards); primary PSC codes track Natural Resources and Conservation work, dominated by other forest/range improvements and wildlife management.

Raven competes under Total Small Business set-asides on approximately 50% of its awards; the remainder are awarded without set-aside designation, typically larger delivery orders and new IDV vehicles. GSA Multiple Award Schedule holds 34 task orders worth $2.9 million combined potential value, with labor rates spanning $48.10 per hour for technician-level roles (bachelor's, two years' experience) to $90.93 per hour for senior biologist or compliance/project manager roles (bachelor's, four years' experience). No security-cleared positions are offered on the schedule. The vendor sits on five named parent indefinite-delivery vehicles beyond the LMIR and $50 million Texas vegetation BPA, all within the Forest Service regional structure, carrying smaller combined potential values; the top named parent IDVs are regional contracts valued between $130 thousand and $381 thousand.

Award activity has fluctuated modestly — 13 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, rising to 17 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 1 award so far in 2026 — with a current recompete cliff of six awards worth $764 thousand completing within the next twenty-four months. Raven has operated as a federal contractor since at least 2005 and has been registered in SAM since 2000. The vendor holds no subcontractor footprint in the source material; all 178 awards reflect prime contractor status.

Wildlife services include population surveys, habitat management, RCW management, and mapping (GIS/GPS). Forestry services include burning, timber marking and inventories. Environmental compliance services include preparation of NEPA documents.
