The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), operating through its Wilmington district, awarded a delivery order to Ashbritt Inc. (doing business as Ashbritt Environmental) on April 23, 2025, for private property debris removal services in Buncombe County, North Carolina, in response to Hurricane Helene. The contract, valued at $201.7 million, is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with no small business set-aside designation. Work is scheduled for completion by January 12, 2026, and will be performed in Asheville, North Carolina. This delivery order is issued under one of Ashbritt's existing indefinite delivery contracts with USACE, leveraging the company's established emergency management and disaster response capabilities to rapidly mobilize debris removal operations.
Ashbritt Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Hispanic American-owned contractor headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, has been a key federal partner for disaster recovery since its SAM.gov registration in 1998. The company holds several substantial IDCs with USACE, including a $2.25 billion single-award contract for comprehensive emergency debris removal and disaster recovery services, positioning it as a critical resource for nationwide disaster response. This Buncombe County contract reflects Ashbritt's proven expertise in hurricane recovery operations, with prior experience in similar debris removal efforts across the Southeast, and demonstrates USACE's reliance on the contractor's capabilities to execute large-scale post-disaster cleanup operations efficiently.
