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, site assessment, and remediation services across federal land management and civilian agencies through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and a constellation of blanket purchase agreements. The vendor does not participate in SBA set-aside programs—all recent awards are full-and-open competitions.

Aarcher's capability portfolio centers on environmental compliance audits, safety and health assessments, environmental site assessments, hazardous materials management, spill prevention planning, cultural resource surveys, and environmental training. Representative work spans a $615 thousand environmental assessment at Great Sand Dunes National Park (September 2024, National Park Service), a $1.09 million environmental compliance audit program for eleven National Park Service facilities in Pacific West regions (September 2023, extending through August 2028), and a $199 thousand Chilkoot National Historic Trail management plan and environmental assessment for the Forest Service Alaska Region (August 2023). The vendor also executes technical support tasks such as a $123 thousand CASHE PowerApp help desk and database update for the Bureau of Land Management (September 2023) and $87.5 thousand structural evaluation services for Bureau of Land Management Nevada facilities (September 2024). GSA Schedule labor spans entry-level technician roles at $53.41 per hour through senior subject matter experts at $321.61 per hour, with the bulk of the portfolio positioned in the $124–$205 per hour band covering environmental protection specialists and mid-level planners requiring bachelor's degrees and 6–15 years of experience; no security clearances are offered.

Customer concentration is pronounced and heavily weighted toward Department of the Interior bureaus. The top five customers by award count account for 62 percent of all recent awards: Bureau of Land Management National Office leads with 543 awards and $45.7 million combined potential value, followed by National Park Service National Office with 43 awards and $68.7 million combined potential value. When ranked by potential value, National Park Service National Office dominates at $68.7 million across 43 awards, while Bureau of Land Management National Office anchors the volume play at $45.7 million across 543 awards. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 ranks third by value at $946 thousand across 15 awards. The concentration is typical for environmental consulting: the Interior Department's land management mission and compliance requirements drive sustained demand.

Aarcher holds multiple nested parent vehicles under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carried 879 task orders and $144.8 million in combined potential value across the portfolio. The $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) single-award BPA with the Forest Service (March 2023 through March 2033) provides project management, natural resources consulting, data management, and restoration services with national scope across all Forest Service locations. The $30 million Environmental Compliance BPA with National Park Service National Office (March 2023 through December 2026) covers environmental compliance audits, energy audits, environmental disposal liability database maintenance, and environmental management systems support; since award, this vehicle has executed multiple task orders totaling approximately $1.65 million. The $10 million Compliance Assessments for Safety, Health, and the Environment (CASHE) single-award BPA with Bureau of Land Management National Office (August 2022 through January 2026) has generated hundreds of geographically dispersed compliance audit and hazardous materials assessment task orders at sub-$50 thousand ceiling values—the vehicle's fractionated task structure allows the Bureau to issue calls across its regional footprint for standardized audit activities. A $6.9 million BPA for cultural resources surveys in the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (May 2022 through October 2025) and a $7.5 million Forest Service Region 6/10 HAZMAT BPA for emergency and non-emergency hazmat response, environmental compliance audits, and CERCLA site work in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska (June 2024 through June 2029) round out the prime vehicle position. The $6 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (December 2021 through December 2026) serves as the foundational vehicle, with 37 labor categories spanning environmental technicians through senior subject matter experts.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, ranging from 28 awards in 2025 to 38 in 2022. The 2026 data reflects only three awards as of April 27, 2026 (the source date), suggesting the year is incomplete. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: 45 awards with ultimate completion dates falling within that window carry combined potential value of $3.3 million, with the largest concentration in Bureau of Land Management CASHE calls expiring through mid-2027. The National Park Service $1.09 million Pacific West audit contract (extending through August 2028) and the Forest Service LMIR and HAZMAT BPAs (through 2029 and 2033 respectively) represent higher-value vehicles with longer runways.

SCI-reported service contract invoicing totals $2 million across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2023 peak at $1.3 million across 1.2 FTEs. This is a narrow slice of the vendor's federal portfolio—the SCI dataset excludes blanket purchase agreement calls, goods contracts, small purchase orders, and non-service work, all of which dominate Aarcher's footprint. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-captured contracts run from $49 per hour at the 10th percentile to $580.23 at the 90th percentile, with a median of $273.67 per hour, reflecting a mix of junior technical and senior specialist labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 9 percent of contractor hours; two named subcontractors appear in the SCI records, though the vendor operates predominantly as a self-performing prime.

The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements—no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other set-aside participation marks the recent footprint. This positioning reflects Aarcher's status as a for-profit corporation without minority, women, veteran, or disadvantaged-business ownership certifications. The award distribution across Environmental Consulting Services (792 awards, top NAICS) and Support-Professional Program Evaluation (325 awards, top PSC) confirms the portfolio's focus on assessments, audits, and specialized advisory work rather than capital-intensive remediation or construction. The 1,014 total awards, 100 percent prime (zero subs), and $266.3 million combined potential value establish Aarcher as an established primary provider to the federal environmental consulting market, with customer concentration and vehicle depth concentrated in Interior Department land management and compliance operations.
