Bb&E, Inc.

Bb&E, Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Northville, Michigan, is a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) delivering environmental compliance, engineering support, and professional services to federal agencies across defense and civilian portfolios, competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides despite holding small business status. The company has secured four multi-billion-dollar parent vehicles in the past year and maintains extensive IDV relationships spanning NASA, the Army Corps of Engineers, GSA, and the Department of the Air Force.

Bb&E's capability footprint centers on environmental remediation, hazardous materials management, NEPA compliance, environmental permitting, regulatory compliance auditing, engineering advisory services, and program management support. Recent named work includes a $27.9 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with Pacific Air Forces (awarded November 2025) for program management oversight of the Chief of Staff office repair phases at Hickam Air Force Base, a $35.5 million OASIS SB delivery order (September 2023) for environmental restoration and military munitions response program management at Air Force Civil Engineer Center with 66 percent subcontracted hours, a $51.4 million OASIS SB delivery order (April 2024) for integrated multiple professional engineering services support to Air Combat Command in Panama City, Florida (invoicing $4.1 million in FY2024 at $95.94/hr across 42,862 hours), and a $56.2 million OASIS SB delivery order (September 2023) for National Defense Reserve advisory and assistance support at Lackland Air Force Base. Through SCI-reportable prime contracts, Bb&E invoiced $32.1 million in FY2022, $30.9 million in FY2023, and $23.6 million in FY2024, delivering across 169 FTEs in FY2022 declining to 85.8 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run a median of $102.90/hr, with the 90th percentile reaching $181.93/hr; GSA Schedule labor categories span $65.59 to $187.99/hr across associate through senior professional levels, with no security-cleared roles on the current schedule.

Customer concentration leans heavily toward Department of the Air Force programs. The top five funding agencies account for 56 percent of awards by count: the Air Force Civil Engineer Center dominates with 55 awards carrying $642.7 million combined potential value, followed by the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (58 awards, $18.2 million), the Department of the Army (22 awards), the U.S. Coast Guard (19 awards, $130.2 million), and GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5 (19 awards, $610 thousand). A steep potential-value divergence emerges from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, which holds only four awards but carries $5.28 billion combined potential value—a single concentration risk that accounts for 77 percent of the vendor's entire $6.85 billion potential-value footprint and reflects a large naval engineering contract vehicle award. Air Force Civil Engineer Center's $642.7 million ranks second and represents sustained high-volume task-order activity.

Bb&E holds positions on four major parent vehicles. The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) carries 100 task orders worth $287.4 million combined potential value. The One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business (OASIS SB) vehicle anchors 57 task orders valued at $545.1 million. Bb&E also placed 54 task orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W9133L06A0008) for $7.7 million combined potential value and 27 task orders under Global Engineering Integration and Technical Assistance 2011 (GEITA 2011) for $36.2 million. Most recent IDV awards include the $225 million NASA Environmental Support Services (NESS) BPA (May 2025, non-set-aside, multiple award), the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside vehicle (December 2024, no specified ceiling, five-year base through December 2029), and the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award vehicle (December 2024, no specified ceiling, five-year base through December 2029).

Award activity remained consistent year over year from 2021 through 2025 (16, 8, 16, 17, and 9 awards respectively), though FTE delivery and SCI-reportable revenue declined from FY2022 to FY2024. Twelve awards (combined potential value $35.1 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete window starting now. The portfolio counts 307 total awards across 44 distinct customer agencies, demonstrating a diversified but Air Force-centric footprint.

Bb&E operates as a prime on 96 percent of awards and subcontracts on 4 percent. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 18 percent of total contractor hours on average, with 31 named subs across the footprint. Named subcontractors include AECOM Technical Services (environmental services, project management, archival research), Scout Environmental (field surveys, environmental compliance), Ageiss Inc. (environmental staffing, data management, public affairs), Sawdey Solution Services Inc. (veteran-owned, providing security and management analyst support), Specpro Professional Services LLC and Specpro-Bb&E JV, LLC (construction management, design services, engineering support), Merkel & Associates (woman-owned, hydrographic and eelgrass surveys), Jacobs Engineering Group (project management, remedial investigation, feasibility studies), and Beacon Environmental Services (analytical laboratory support). Bb&E also appears as a subcontractor to Tekpro Support Services, BMA Technical Services, and STS Systems Support on defense and Air Force Civil Engineer Center work. The joint venture Specpro-Bb&E JV, LLC has placed multiple sub-awards for design and construction program management and advisory services supporting Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Navy Facilities Engineering Command operations.
