Bethel Engineering & Consulting LLC

Bethel Engineering & Consulting LLC, an SBA-certified 8(a) small business and subsidiary of Bethel Solutions Incorporated, delivers environmental remediation, infrastructure maintenance, and specialized logistics services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards held in a prime capacity and no sub work in the source data. The firm is an Alaska Native Corporation-owned business based in Anchorage, Alaska, operating across NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and related engineering and construction categories.

Customer concentration is uneven across two distinct mission areas. By award count, the Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters dominates with 22 awards worth $5.2 million combined potential value, primarily small environmental consulting and groundwater-monitoring engagements at remote Alaska facilities. By potential value, however, the picture shifts sharply: the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management carries two awards worth $45 million combined (a multiple-award Hazardous Materials and Abandoned Mine Land Response IDIQ running through August 2030), matched by a single $45 million Coast Guard Indefinite Delivery Contract for Arctic Region Environmental Remediation awarded June 1, 2026. The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces anchors a third major customer bloc, with 11 awards worth $41.7 million, concentrated in fuel-transfer operations and infrastructure work at Wake Island Airfield. A $25 million Forest Service Architect-Engineer IDIQ for work in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska (awarded September 2025) rounds out the top five. Together these five customers account for 97% of combined potential value.

Bethel Engineering's vehicle footprint is dominated by IDIQs that drive the bulk of potential value. The most significant is a $21.1 million single-award 8(a) Sole Source Indefinite Delivery Contract with Pacific Air Forces (awarded December 2021, running through June 2027) for JP-5 fuel offload operations at Wake Island, from which Bethel has issued six task orders worth $18 million combined. The recent Coast Guard award ($45 million, Competitive 8(a)) and the BLM Hazmat & AML IDIQ ($45 million, Competitive 8(a), awarded September 2025) represent major pipeline expansion. The Forest Service Architect-Engineer vehicle ($25 million, Total Small Business, September 2025) addresses design and engineering across three disciplines in Forest Service Regions 6 and 10. Smaller task-order activity flows through the BLM's Construction Hazmat & AML vehicle.

Activity volume has grown substantially year over year, from 7 awards in 2022 to 14 in 2025, with 2 awards recorded to date in 2026. However, thirteen awards carrying combined potential value of $4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in FAA environmental-remediation work and smaller infrastructure maintenance contracts. The recent IDIQ awards (Coast Guard and BLM, both June-September 2025) substantially reset the recompete cliff by anchoring long-dated vehicles through 2030 and 2033.

Concrete capability work spans environmental investigation, remediation, and infrastructure. Representative examples include a $327,909 Competitive 8(a) contract from the Federal Aviation Administration for site investigation and removal actions at a former Remote Communications Air to Ground facility on Biorka Island, Alaska (awarded February 2026, completion March 2027); a $762,576 FAA contract for long-term monitoring, remedial investigation, and remedial action at Middleton Island addressing petroleum-contaminated soil and groundwater (awarded December 2024, completion September 2026); a $1.75 million non-set-aside delivery order from Pacific Air Forces to address government-caused delays in JP-5 fuel offloading at Wake Island (awarded September 2024); a $716,393 8(a) Sole Source contract from Air Force Materiel Command for installation of 12-statute-mile fiber optic cable connecting Building 1116 to the water treatment plant at Wake Island (awarded September 2025, completion September 2026); and a $341,691 8(a) Sole Source award from Air Force Materiel Command to engineer, design, furnish, install, and test a Giant Voice/Emergency Notification System and replace three end-of-life radios at Wake Island (awarded September 2024, completion August 2025). The company operates in extremely remote locations — Biorka Island, Middleton Island, Wake Island, and scattered Alaska aviation facilities — requiring specialized logistics and capability in austere, boat-or-helicopter-accessible sites.

Set-aside posture is predominantly 8(a) across the prime portfolio: of 46 prime awards in the source window, 31 carry Competitive 8(a) or 8(a) Sole Source designations; 4 carry Total Small Business set-asides; and 11 carry no set-aside (primarily task orders under the $21M sole-source Wake Island Indefinite Delivery Contract). Bethel's SBA 8(a) certification runs through March 21, 2030.

Service Contract Inventory data captures only a narrow slice of Bethel's federal services activity. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $895 thousand across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $224 thousand across 0.2 FTEs; FY2023: $0 across 0.0 FTEs; FY2024: $671 thousand across 2.7 FTEs), reflecting the vendor's primary focus on goods-heavy remediation and fuel-logistics work that falls below or outside the SCI reporting threshold. On the limited SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran $97.65 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $23.05 per hour and the 90th percentile at $379.24 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 1% of total contractor hours, with 1 named subcontractor reported, indicating Bethel builds its own delivery teams for the work SCI captures.

Bethel Engineering holds no corporate subsidiaries in the source data but operates as a child entity under parent Bethel Solutions Incorporated, an Alaska Native Corporation-owned for-profit organization. The parent structure provides the foundation for the firm's 8(a) and Alaska Native Corporation certifications.

Bethel Engineering and Consulting LLC provides a broad range of professional engineering and scientific consulting services supporting environmental, water, wastewater, and solid waste operations, projects, and programs primarily serving the Federal Government both domestically and overseas. Capabilities focus on professional services with limited construction services including select civil work and site remediation/restoration. The firm has Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bethel Native Corporation.
