Advancing Resilience In Communities

Advancing Resilience In Communities, a for-profit limited liability partnership and child subsidiary of Michael Baker International, Inc., operates as a prime contractor delivering disaster preparedness, risk assessment, and hazard mitigation services exclusively to the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the $300 million Production and Technical Services Support (PTS) for Zone 1 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Headquartered in Moon, Pennsylvania, Advancing Resilience In Communities specializes in flood hazard mapping, coastal erosion modeling, dam safety assessments, risk assessment engineering, and community resilience initiatives grounded in architect-and-engineering services (PSC A-E General). Recent representative work includes a $56.95 million delivery order (March 2024) for Zone 1 Standard Operations 3 architect and engineering services; a $16.6 million modification (September 2024) for Region 2 Fiscal Year 2024 Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning production and technical services; a $12.77 million task order (September 2023) for Region 5 Risk MAP architect and engineering support; and a $10.3 million delivery order (August 2023) for Region 3 Fiscal Year 2023 Risk MAP professional and technical services. The vendor also delivers smaller-dollar specialized work such as coastal erosion development, National Dam Safety Program operations support, and mesh map development across Zone 1 regions spanning Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Puerto Rico.

Customer concentration is absolute: FEMA accounts for all 30 awards in the source data, representing the full $635.9 million in combined potential value. Advancing Resilience In Communities holds a single-award position on the PTS Zone 1 IDIQ (awarded September 2021, extended through March 2027 with ultimate completion), from which 29 task orders have been issued carrying $245.9 million in combined potential value. The remaining one award is the parent IDIQ vehicle itself. Sixteen awards across the portfolio face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $185.3 million, representing significant recompete exposure in FY2026–FY2027.

On SCI-reportable federal services contracts, the vendor invoiced $84.9 million across FY2022–FY2024, with workforce scale growing from 30.4 FTEs in FY2022 to 134 FTEs in FY2024. SCI-reported invoicing reached $51.6 million in FY2024 across 154 contract-level FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run median $161.61 per hour, with 10th percentile at $121.92/hr and 90th percentile at $241.22/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 4% of total contractor hours, with 11 named subcontractors reported across the prime contract footprint — indicating the vendor predominantly builds and staffs its own delivery teams rather than leaning on sub-engagement for scale. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor; no sub-award activity appears in the source data.
