Avanti Corporation

Avanti Corporation, operating as Avanti Corp, is an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, that delivers environmental consulting, regulatory support, and scientific analysis services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 93% of its recent awards. The company is also designated as a Native American woman-owned small business, self-certified small disadvantaged business, and DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise. Avanti competes across both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles, with set-aside awards accounting for approximately 50% of recent prime contract volume; the remainder compete full-and-open, reflecting established relationships with agencies that procure Avanti's services without socioeconomic restrictions.

Avanti's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in environmental and scientific agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water dominates by award count (36 awards, $75.2 million combined potential value), followed by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (31 awards, $13.9 million) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (18 awards, $71.1 million). These three funders alone account for 65% of Avanti's recent awards. However, potential value is skewed dramatically upward by two Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awards ($3.96 billion combined potential value) that anchor the vendor's pipeline but represent outliers in Avanti's otherwise civilian-focused footprint; removing those two awards reveals EPA and Interior agencies as the dominant funding sources by dollars. Avanti has worked with 27 distinct customer agencies across recent awards.

Core capability framing centers on environmental consulting, NEPA compliance support, regulatory analysis, and scientific research support. Recent representative work includes a $48.8 million blanket purchase agreement with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (awarded May 2025, running through April 2030) for environmental analysis and environmental justice consulting including NEPA compliance and site assessments; a $54 million single-award IDIQ with EPA's Office of the Administrator (April 2023, running through April 2028) for technical support on strategic environmental management, from which Avanti has issued delivery orders for NEPA compliance support ($2.63 million, June 2024), permitting best practices ($1.17 million, September 2023), and Office of Community Revitalization capacity building ($823,917.72, November 2024); work under the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Science, Translation, Analysis and Research Support (STARS) IDIQ for environmental health research support (30 task orders aggregating $4.9 million); a $3.55 million EPA task order (December 2022) for technical support to state lead service line inventories and replacement; and a $2.84 million EPA delivery order (November 2023) for administrative and technical support to the Toxic Substances Control Act New Chemical Program. GSA Schedule labor rates span from $41.89/hr for administrative support through $241.07/hr for subject-matter experts with master's-level education and 10+ years of experience; core roles cluster around environmental scientist and senior engineer positions in the $88–$138/hr range, with no security clearance requirements offered across Avanti's active labor categories.

Avanti operates primarily as a self-delivery vendor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts (FY2022–FY2025), subcontractors performed an average 24% of contractor hours, with 29 named subcontractors engaged across the portfolio. Recent prime-to-sub relationships include work under Industrial Economics Inc. on offshore wind energy decision file support across multiple task orders (Empire Wind, Revolution Wind, New England Wind, Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind), support for General Dynamics Information Technology's lead service line initiatives, and Great Lakes National Program Office support under Battelle Memorial Institute. The vendor scales its direct labor: SCI-reported FTE trajectory shows growth from 6.9 FTEs in FY2022 to 18.3 FTEs in FY2025, with government-paid blended hourly rates on federal service contracts ranging from $70.63/hr at the 10th percentile to $175.23/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $123.69/hr.

Vehicle positioning is anchored in the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (43 task orders, $83.3 million combined potential value), the NIEHS STARS IDIQ (30 task orders, $4.9 million), the BOEM $48.8 million blanket purchase agreement, the EPA's $54 million Office of the Administrator IDIQ, and several smaller EPA vehicle footprints including the Office of Water's Technical and Administrative Support IDIQ. Avanti also holds GSA Schedule contract positions that support task orders across the Fogarty International Center for conference and meeting support services. Activity has remained relatively flat across recent years (6–19 awards per year, 2022–2025), with six awards (combined potential value $5.5 million) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete.

SCI-reported invoicing grew from $1.5 million in FY2022 to $4.3 million in FY2025 across federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold; this represents a strict subset of Avanti's federal revenue and does not include goods, micro-purchases, or non-federal work. The $3.96 billion in combined potential value from the two Navy awards skews the aggregate portfolio figure of $4.23 billion combined potential value; excluding those outlier awards, Avanti's core environmental and scientific services portfolio carries approximately $270 million in combined potential value across 179 awards, reflecting its position as a focused vendor in civilian environmental and health-science consulting rather than a broad-based defense contractor.
