Aarcher, Inc.

Aarcher, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation environmental consulting firm based in Annapolis, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering environmental compliance audits, site assessments, hazardous materials management, and spill prevention planning to the federal government across 81 distinct agencies, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without SBA set-aside certifications. The vendor has amassed 1,016 prime awards (100% of portfolio) with combined potential value of $306.6 million and $48.6 million in obligated dollars across a twenty-four-year relationship with federal customers dating to 2002.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office anchors 544 awards (61% of the portfolio by count) valued at $85.7 million, with the National Park Service National Office placing 43 awards at $68.7 million. Together, these two Interior clients account for the vast majority of Aarcher's federal footprint. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 (15 awards, $946 thousand), the National Park Service Intermountain Region (12 awards, $690 thousand), and scattered smaller Bureau of Land Management regional offices round out a customer base heavily weighted toward Department of the Interior land-management and facility-compliance work. Activity volume has declined markedly in the past three years—from 38 awards in 2022 to 6 awards in 2026 (year-to-date)—signaling either a slowdown in ordering, a consolidation of award counts under larger blanket purchase agreements, or competitive pressure.

Aarcher's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule—the company holds a $6 million Schedule contract (ultimate completion December 2026) with 37 labor categories spanning Technician I roles at $53.40 per hour through Subject Matter Expert II positions at $321.61 per hour, with bulk pricing in the $124–$205 per hour band reflecting mid-level environmental specialists and planners holding bachelor's degrees and six to fifteen years of experience. No cleared positions are offered. Nested under the GSA Schedule sit four major blanket purchase agreements: a $50 million single-award LMIR agreement with the U.S. Forest Service (awarded March 2023, expires March 2033) for land management integrated resources services; a $30 million single-award environmental compliance BPA with the National Park Service (awarded March 2023, expires December 2026); a $10 million single-award Compliance Assessments for Safety, Health, and the Environment (CASHE) BPA with the Bureau of Land Management (awarded August 2022, expires January 2026); and a $40 million total small business set-aside national travel management BPA (awarded September 2026, expires September 2031). The CASHE BPA alone has driven 544 task orders from Bureau of Land Management, nearly all priced between $7,000 and $150,000, demonstrating a high-velocity, low-dollar-per-order model. A $7.5 million single-award Forest Service hazardous materials services BPA (awarded June 2024, expires June 2029) covers Oregon, Washington, and Alaska operations. A $6.9 million single-award Rocky Mountain Research Station BPA for R4 regionwide cultural resources surveys (awarded May 2022, expires October 2025) and a $350,000 multiple-award BOSHA audit BPA with the Interior Department's Office of Policy Management and Budget (awarded January 2024, expires September 2029) complete the vehicle holdings.

Recent representative work includes a $286,252 Total Small Business set-aside vegetation management plan and environmental assessment for the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region Kingman Field Office (awarded September 2026); a $1.09 million environmental compliance audit program for National Park Service Pacific West regions across Katmai, Kenai Fjords, and Lake Clark National Parks (awarded September 2023, extends through August 2028); environmental and safety compliance audits for the National Park Service Intermountain Region valued at $174,463 (awarded August 2025); a $615,310 environmental assessment at Great Sand Dunes National Park (awarded September 2024); and hazardous materials management services for the Forest Service at $7.5 million ceiling. The vendor also placed work outside its core Interior footprint: environmental compliance training for the Department of the Interior Central Office at $140,177 (awarded October 2022, extends through September 2027); environmental assessment delivery orders for the Community Oriented Policing Program at $182,141 (awarded March 2023); and sanitary survey work for EPA Region 8 on public water systems in Wyoming totaling $106,681 (awarded March 2022).

Service Contract Inventory data reveals sparse federal services-contract reporting: SCI covers only 12 records across FY2022–FY2025, with combined invoiced revenue of $2.5 million (FY2022: $389 thousand at 1.4 FTEs; FY2023: $1.3 million at 1.2 FTEs; FY2024: $341 thousand at 1.4 FTEs; FY2025: $533 thousand at 2.8 FTEs). Government-paid rates across SCI-reportable work ranged from $60.16 per hour (10th percentile) to $519.47 per hour (90th percentile), with a median of $176.34 per hour. The vendor performed roughly 90% of contracted hours in-house across SCI records, with four named subcontractors contributing an average 10% of labor hours. Only one sub-award appears in the source data—environmental compliance training delivered to Fluor Marine Propulsion on a Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program management and operations contract (awarded August 2026). The near-total absence of sub-engagement and the tight SCI reporting footprint indicate Aarcher operates as a self-delivering prime, with the bulk of its federal revenue flowing through task orders on standing blanket purchase agreements and the GSA Schedule rather than large service contracts reportable above the $150,000 SCI threshold.

Aarcher's portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), which accounts for 794 awards; Remediation Services (NAICS 562910) represents 101 awards, with residual engineering and facility-inspection work. PSC codes mirror this concentration: 325 awards carry Support–Professional/Program Evaluation PSC codes, 244 are Special Studies/Analysis–Environmental Assessments, and 181 fall under Environmental Systems Protection–Environmental Remediation. Forty-two awards (combined potential value $4.4 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk. The vendor's activity trajectory—declining from 38 awards in 2022 to 6 year-to-date in 2026—suggests either that ordering agencies have consolidated task orders under larger BPAs (reducing order count while maintaining spend) or competitive headwinds are eroding volume. Aarcher is positioned exclusively as a Department of the Interior environmental compliance and land management services provider, with deep relationships at Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service but minimal presence in defense, intelligence, civilian IT, or federal civilian operations outside Interior portfolio.
