Abr, Inc.

ABR, Inc. (doing business as ABR Inc.) is an Alaska-based environmental consulting firm that delivers wildlife surveys, habitat modeling, wetland mapping, and ecosystem assessment services to federal land and wildlife management agencies, primarily as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) under small-business and full-and-open vehicles. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Fairbanks, Alaska, with a secondary office location in Anchorage, and competes without SBA set-aside designations on most prime work — though it holds a small-business set-aside position on NOAA's $8 billion PROTECH 2.0 Oceans Domain Indefinite Delivery Contract.

ABR's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Department of the Interior bureaus. The top five funding agencies account for 41% of awards by count, led by the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region (32 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), National Park Service Alaska Region (32 awards, $3.6 million), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 (20 awards, $1.1 million). However, the dollar concentration is skewed by NOAA's $8 billion PROTECH 2.0 Oceans Domain vehicle, which ABR was awarded on April 12, 2024, and which alone represents 99% of the vendor's combined potential-value portfolio. Excluding that mega-contract, the Bureau of Land Management National Office dominates with 15 awards and $21.9 million in combined potential value. ABR has worked with 33 distinct federal agencies across Interior, Commerce, the U.S. Geological Survey, General Services Administration, Forest Service, and NASA.

ABR's core work is grounded in specialized field ecological research in Alaska's Arctic and subarctic environments. Representative recent prime contracts include a $1.25 million Lotic Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring definitive contract with the Bureau of Land Management National Office (January 2025 through January 2030) for stream monitoring data collection across Interior, Arctic, and other Alaska field offices; a $1.6 million "R & W AIM" definitive contract with the Department of the Interior National Office (September 2024 through December 2029) for riparian and wetland assessment and inventory work; a $1.1 million fiscal-year 2024 delivery order for aquatic and terrestrial AIM field crew labor; and a $118 thousand purchase order for priority raptor nesting habitat surveys (Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Gyrfalcons, Bald Eagles) across Eastern Interior Field Office non-roaded areas (September 2024). Recent smaller orders exemplify the service breadth: aerial survey and reporting of waterfowl populations on the Colville River Delta for the U.S. Geological Survey ($41 thousand, July 2026), Forest Inventory and Analysis plot installation in the Wrangell-Ketchikan area for the Forest Service ($282 thousand, April 2026), climate data management for NOAA ($11 thousand, August 2024), and marine bird data collection under NOAA's SWAN program ($14 thousand, August 2024). ABR also holds two cooperative agreements and project grants: a March 2025 cooperative agreement with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 to produce breeding habitat models for Golden Eagles in Alaska, and a October 2022 project grant from a Shared Services Center entity for Arctic ecosystem synthesis research ($466 thousand through September 2026).

ABR's parent vehicles position it across Interior, Commerce, and GSA channels. The company holds a $4 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Bureau of Land Management for botanical services (June 2024 through June 2029), a $5 million single-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service for wetland mapping (July 2023 through July 2028), and a $8 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NOAA for PROTECH 2.0 Oceans Domain professional and technical services (April 2024 through April 2029, small-business set-aside). ABR also operates under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule, where it holds 23 active labor categories spanning technician, research biologist, project management, publication specialist, and senior scientist roles, priced from $50 to $167 per hour with education requirements from high school through master's degree and no security-clearance roles offered. Through GSA MAS, ABR has placed 117 task orders worth $7.7 million combined potential value, and an additional 20 MAS delivery orders worth $5.9 million. ABR also appears on an 11-task-order interior Indefinite Delivery Contract (140L0618D0033) worth $5.1 million for terrestrial and aquatic AIM work.

Activity has remained flat over recent years — nine awards in 2022 and 2023, nine in 2024, and four year-to-date through July 2026 — with only six awards (combined potential value $805 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. The company's SCI-reported federal services footprint shows $3.3 million in invoiced revenue across three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024): $996 thousand in FY2022 (2.9 FTEs), $620 thousand in FY2023 (1.5 FTEs), and $1.7 million in FY2024 (4.6 FTEs). On SCI-reportable contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $154 per hour to a median of $178 per hour to a 90th percentile of $617 per hour, reflecting mid-tier field biologist and senior specialist labor. ABR performs all work as a prime contractor on its service agreements — zero sub-hours share across SCI-reportable contracts — and subcontracts only minimally overall (2% of awards by count); the company appears as a subcontractor to NOAA Fisheries on a boat-survey feature enhancement to its SeaLog and QA/QSea data collection software (February 2025) and to Northern Arizona University and North Pacific Research Board on Arctic ecological research sub-awards (February 2025 and February 2024 respectively). ABR's NAICS footprint centers on Environmental Consulting Services (205 awards) with minor presence in forestry support, other scientific consulting, and veterinary services; its PSC profile emphasizes wildlife and animal/fisheries analysis, environmental services, and endangered-species studies.

As a triple-bottom-line company, our range of client services and capabilities is a reflection of three measures of success-economic viability, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.
