Avanti Corporation

Avanti Corporation, doing business as Avanti Corp, is a Native American woman-owned small business (EDWOSB, WOSB) headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia that delivers environmental consulting, NEPA compliance, and scientific support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) and subcontractor. The company operates across 27 distinct federal customer agencies with a $4.23 billion combined potential value in recent prime and sub awards, though the footprint is heavily concentrated in two mega-scale Navy vehicles that distort the headline figure.

Customer concentration is bifurcated by vehicle type and dollar magnitude. EPA and its component offices (Office of Water, Office of the Administrator, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance) dominate the award count with 65 awards across 36 task orders under the Office of Water alone; the Department of Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) round out the top-five by count, accounting together for 48 awards with $85 million combined potential value. However, the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking flips dramatically: two Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awards ($3.96 billion combined potential value) overshadow all other work, followed by EPA Office of Water ($75.2 million), BOEM ($71.1 million), EPA Office of the Administrator ($60.8 million), and NIEHS ($13.9 million). The Navy awards appear to be structural contracts with very high ceilings; obligated dollars across all awards total only $49.2 million (1% of combined potential value), indicating the vendor is drawing against contracts rather than exhausting them. The civilian environmental-agency base is dense and recurring.

Avanti's core capability portfolio reflects its NAICS classification: 89 awards in Environmental Consulting Services, 51 in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, and smaller counts in Remediation Services and Engineering Services. Representative named work includes a $48.8 million BOEM Blanket Purchase Agreement (May 2025–April 2030) for NEPA compliance, environmental site assessments, and environmental justice support; a $54 million EPA Office of the Administrator single-award IDIQ (April 2023–April 2028, Total Small Business set-aside) for technical support in strategic environmental management approaches; a $2.63 million EPA delivery order (June 2024) for environmental reviews and NEPA compliance support; a $1.5 million EPA delivery order (August 2025) for permitting best practices and permitting reform under the same $54 million vehicle; and a $3.554 million EPA Office of Water delivery order (December 2022) for technical support to state lead service line inventories and removal. Work is performed across multiple locations including Alexandria and Kingstowne, Virginia (headquarters region), Washington, DC, and Durham, North Carolina.

Vehicle positioning reflects Avanti's civil-environmental focus. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 40 task orders worth $83.1 million combined potential value—the vendor's largest single vehicle platform. The NIEHS Science, Translation, Analysis and Research Support (STARS) IDIQ accounts for 30 task orders worth $4.9 million; an unnamed EPA IDIQ (68C50035) carries 13 task orders; an EPA Blanket Purchase Agreement (EPBPA12C0010) carries 12 task orders worth $4.4 million; and Army Corps of Engineers vehicle W9123610D0090 carries 12 task orders worth $1.1 million. Avanti competes across these vehicles under both Total Small Business and full-and-open designations; roughly 60% of awards across the top customers carry a set-aside (Total Small Business, EDWOSB Sole Source, or Woman-Owned Small Business).

Activity has remained flat to declining in the past three years: six awards in 2022, nineteen in 2023, nineteen in 2024, five in 2025 (partial year), and two in 2026 (through mid-February). Eight awards with combined potential value of $6.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated in NIEHS and EPA Office of Water task orders.

In its subcontractor role, Avanti performs work for Industrial Economics Inc. (offshore wind project support and administrative services under multiple BOEM-related decision-file tasks), General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (lead service line and Great Lakes National Program Office support), Battelle Memorial Institute (records management services), Eastern Research Group Inc. (stormwater and wastewater design engineering and program management), and the National Opinion Research Center (Measures Management System support). The sub footprint is smaller and more recent than the prime base, reflecting Avanti's primary positioning as a prime.

SCI-reported service-contract invoicing totaled $7.7 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $1.5 million; FY2023: $2.2 million; FY2024: $4 million), delivering approximately 15 FTEs to the federal government in FY2024 against 12.1 FTEs the prior year. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid median hourly rates run around $133/hr, with senior labor pricing through $211/hr at the 90th percentile and entry-level support at $70/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Avanti performed approximately 77% of contractor hours directly and subcontracted approximately 23%, with 15 named subcontractors reported across the portfolio. GSA Schedule labor categories span administrative support at $41.89/hr through subject-matter experts at $241.07/hr, with mid-career environmental scientists and engineers pricing in the $88–$137/hr range; no security-cleared labor is offered, reflecting Avanti's civilian-agency customer base.

Avanti's posture is predominantly full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside on the EPA and BOEM platforms, with smaller EDWOSB Sole Source penetration. The company's SBA certifications (EDWOSB, WOSB, self-certified small disadvantaged business) anchor most prime work to small-business vehicles, though recent large EPA and BOEM IDIQs and the Navy awards indicate growing competitive traction in unrestricted procurements.
