Vertigo LLC

Vertigo LLC, a small-business Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Kodiak, Alaska, provides fixed-wing aircraft transportation and on-call flight services to the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in contractor-operated fixed-wing aviation capabilities serving wildlife management, fisheries management, habitat conservation, research programs, and visitor transportation in remote Alaskan environments.

The vendor's entire 15-award portfolio spans interior DOI customers, with 100% concentration within the Department of the Interior across five distinct office lines. The dominant customer by potential value is the DOI Departmental Offices Interior Business Center, which accounts for four awards carrying $58.6 million in combined ceiling value — driven by a single $18.6 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded April 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2031. The remaining eleven awards, valued at approximately $252 thousand in combined potential value, are distributed across DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (six awards, $190 thousand), FWS Region 7 (two awards, $23 thousand), FWS nationally (two awards, $22 thousand), and the National Park Service Alaska Region (one award, $14 thousand). The stark divergence between the two customer rankings reflects the IDC's ceiling magnitude relative to recurring small delivery orders flowing against it. All 15 awards fall under NAICS 488320 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) and PSC D301 (Passenger Air Charter).

Vertigo holds three parent IDCs. The current primary vehicle is the $18.6 million Interior Business Center multiple-award contract awarded in April 2026 (set-aside for total small business), which replaced an earlier $20 million DOI IDC awarded in April 2021 that generated seven delivery orders totaling approximately $141 thousand in combined value. A second vehicle, DOI Fixed Wing Flight Services — AK/HI 2017–2018, supported three delivery orders worth $28 thousand. Most recent delivery orders through the active IDC include a $23 thousand order from FWS Region 1 awarded June 12, 2026, for on-call flight services through March 31, 2027, and a $60 thousand order from FWS Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge awarded April 16, 2026, for fixed-wing aircraft transport through October 31, 2026. Vertigo competes exclusively under small business set-asides on the prime side; recent awards split between total small business set-aside vehicles and non-set-aside delivery orders issued from those vehicles.

Activity is cyclical rather than trending — one award in 2021, three in both 2023 and 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 to date. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $83 thousand and therefore facing recompete exposure. The company does not subcontract; all 15 awards are executed directly by Vertigo as prime.
