Applied Environmental, Inc.

Applied Environmental, Inc., a women-owned small business headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, provides environmental compliance, remediation, testing, and facility-assessment services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a large, established contract footprint spanning 704 awards with 19 agencies. The vendor operates predominantly under its own delivery — 100% of recent awards are primes — and maintains an SBA Women-Owned Small Business certification, which anchors a $40 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service that runs through March 31, 2026.

Applied Environmental's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Defense's Washington Headquarters Service, which accounts for 124 awards and $116.2 million in combined potential value. The top five customers by award count (42% of all awards) are the DOD WHS, the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (61 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (52 awards), the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (41 awards, $690 thousand), and the Department of the Army (15 awards). When ranked by dollar value, the DOD WHS dominates at $116.2 million, followed by HHS NIAID with $1.6 million on a single large award, and GSA with $1 million on one award — a concentration pattern driven by the single large DOD vehicle.

Applied Environmental's core capabilities center on environmental testing, remediation, and compliance services across federal facilities. Recent prime work includes a $4.2 million delivery order from DOD WHS (April 2025) for environmental compliance and support services; a $3.8 million delivery order (April 2024) for environmental compliance, incident response, natural resource management, energy management, and COVID-19 wastewater surveillance; a $1.5 million delivery order from DOD WHS (April 2026) extending environmental support services through September 2026; and specialized work such as aqueous film forming foam removal ($42 thousand, December 2024), hazardous tree mitigation ($107 thousand, August 2024), and asbestos and lead-based-paint surveys via X-ray fluorescence analysis ($19 thousand, June 2024 from the Aeronautical Center). Applied Environmental also holds a $1 million Federal Supply Schedule contract with the General Services Administration.

The vendor's contract portfolio sits on two dominant parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HHSN263200400013I) carrying 179 task orders worth $227.8 million combined potential value, and another IDC (HQ003415D0019) with 44 task orders worth $20.5 million. A third vehicle (GS11P07YAD0039, GSA) carries 141 task orders worth $916 thousand. Applied Environmental's top NAICS categories reflect its core business: Testing Laboratories and Services (277 awards), Remediation Services (180 awards), and Environmental Consulting Services (136 awards). Top PSC codes track closely: Special Studies/Analysis—Environmental Assessments (190 awards), Support—Professional: Program Management/Support (151 awards), and Support—Professional: Industrial Hygienics (140 awards).

Activity has fluctuated in recent years, with five awards in 2022, six in 2023, seven in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (combined potential value $1.5 million) reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. On subcontracting, Applied Environmental operates as a named sub on three awards under Eastern Research Group Inc. (environmental and facility assessments for Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosives Ordnance Disposal, June 2025 and April 2026) and under Owens & Minor Distribution Inc. (design development work at NSA Bethesda, February 2024).

SCI-reported federal services invoicing totaled $7.3 million across fiscal years 2022–2024, with $1.7 million in FY2022 (8.4 FTEs), $1.8 million in FY2023 (8.6 FTEs), and $3.8 million in FY2024 (15.7 FTEs). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Applied Environmental used subcontractors for roughly 49% of contractor hours; government-paid hourly rates on those contracts ranged from around $98 per hour at the 10th percentile to $114 per hour at the 90th percentile, with a median of $100 per hour. SCI figures represent only federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and classified work — a strict subset of the vendor's total federal revenue.
