Raven Environmental Services, Inc.

Raven Environmental Services, Inc., headquartered in Huntsville, Texas, delivers red-cockaded woodpecker habitat restoration, NEPA compliance, biological surveys, and vegetation management services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor across 180 recent awards totaling $104.6 million in combined potential value. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on BPA calls and delivery orders, with no subcontract activity in the award footprint.

Raven's customer concentration centers on the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Forest Service accounts for approximately 90% of recent awards across multiple sub-offices: Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) alone holds 107 awards valued at $47.6 million, while the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions holds one $50 million multi-award Blanket Purchase Agreement. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth represents the second-largest customer with 22 awards valued at $372 thousand, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 holds a $250 thousand BPA for historic-property desktop research. This customer concentration reflects Raven's geographic and operational focus on southern national forests in Texas, Louisiana, and neighboring states.

Raven's capability portfolio centers on threatened and endangered species protection, particularly red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) artificial cavity installation and monitoring; NEPA documentation, biological evaluations, and environmental assessments; and vegetation management including hazard tree removal, mechanical site preparation, and invasive species treatment. Representative prime work includes a $439.8 thousand delivery order from the Forest Service for resource surveys and NEPA analysis on the Moore Grove RCW Habitat Project at Sam Houston National Forest (August 2025); a $256.3 thousand delivery order for RCW cluster maintenance and insert installation at Sam Houston National Forest (June 2025); a $126.6 thousand delivery order for environmental assessment and biological evaluation for the Shearwood Creek Restoration Project in Angelina County, Texas (October 2024); and numerous sub-$100 thousand BPA calls for RCW insert installation across Kisatchie, Angelina, and Davy Crockett National Forests. Work is performed across multiple locations in the southern United States, with primary administrative oversight in Lufkin and Huntsville, Texas.

Raven holds three large IDVs anchoring its vehicle posture. The Forest Service Region 8 awarded a $7.5 million single-award BPA (September 2025, running through August 2030) for vegetation management and biological services across six national forests in Texas covering multiple counties; the contract supports damage recovery from Hurricane Beryl and recent flooding, with recent calls including the $439.8 thousand Moore Grove project noted above. The Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions awarded a $50 million multi-award Blanket Purchase Agreement on the Land Management Integrated Resources National (LMIR) vehicle (July 2025, running through March 2033) for professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, and inspection work across the United States. Raven also holds a $7.5 million single-award BPA at Kisatchie National Forest (awarded November 2022, running through November 2027, with option year exercised) for vegetation management and wildlife protection, from which 21 task orders have been placed valued at approximately $203 thousand. Additionally, Raven sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 35 task orders totaling $2.9 million in combined potential value, including delivery orders from the Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers for NEPA compliance and environmental assessment work.

On the GSA Schedule, Raven offers seven labor categories spanning forestry technicians, biological technicians, field biologists, GIS managers, and compliance or project managers at hourly rates from $48.10 to $90.93, requiring a bachelor's degree with two to four years of experience and no security clearance. This labor portfolio supports the vendor's capability framing in environmental compliance, biological assessment, and natural resource project management.

Activity has remained steady with thirteen awards in 2022, a dip to seven in 2023, then growth to seventeen in 2024 and twelve in 2025; three awards appear in 2026 to date. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $533 thousand, representing limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's $50 million LMIR vehicle and $7.5 million Forest Service Region 8 vegetation-management BPA (both newly awarded in mid-2025) represent the primary growth anchors for the upcoming contract period.

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.
