Bluestone Environmental Group, Inc.

Bluestone Environmental Group, Inc., a women-owned small business headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, delivers environmental consulting, site assessment, remediation, and compliance services to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under EDWOSB and SBA 8(a) Program Participant certifications. The firm competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles—8(a) sole source, 8(a) competitive, woman-owned small business, and total small business designations appear across most of the prime footprint, though Bluestone also wins unrestricted task orders leveraging its small business certifications and established federal relationships. Bluestone operates as a Subchapter S Corporation with a single subsidiary, Bluestone Geotrek JV, LLC, a small disadvantaged business joint venture.

Customer concentration is stark and defense-aligned. The top five funding agencies account for 59% of awards by count and 49% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England anchors the portfolio—15 awards valued at $104.5 million combined, including a cornerstone $90 million Architect-Engineering Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste services IDIQ (through November 2027) that generates ongoing task orders for Superfund site remediation, Phase II environmental site assessments, and remedial investigations across the North Atlantic Division. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command stands second with 43 awards valued at $78.8 million, spanning multi-media environmental compliance, air emissions testing, stormwater management, and hazardous waste disposal at Naval installations and air stations. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region contributes 47 awards worth $31.3 million, concentrated in stormwater program support and MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) compliance at Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Drum. A newly awarded $45 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command single-award IDIQ (July 2026 through January 2032) and a $225 million NASA Environmental Support Services Blanket Purchase Agreement (May 2025 through April 2035) expand reach into civilian space and broader government-wide environmental compliance work, though these vehicles are still in early task-order phase.

Recent capability work demonstrates the portfolio's depth. Bluestone holds a $4.8 million competitive 8(a) indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Defense Northeast Region for Basic Environmental Services Support at Aberdeen Proving Ground (March 2023–March 2028), from which multiple delivery orders flow: a $4.83 million task for remedial investigations and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) supplemental site inspection sampling at Aberdeen and Adelphi Laboratories through September 2032; a $673.7 million 8(a) competitive order for soil sampling and aboveground storage tank decommissioning and closure reporting through July 2030; and ongoing stormwater, hazardous waste disposal, and air emissions testing orders. A $4.42 million 8(a) sole-source award from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (September 2024–September 2029) funds EV Restoration Program Support at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, California. The $7.5 million USDA Farm Service Agency Blanket Purchase Agreement for site screening and preliminary assessments at former grain facilities in Nebraska and Iowa (December 2023–December 2028) has generated three task orders totaling approximately $1.25 million. The $1.92 million EPA Region 3 Remedial Technical Assistance Contract BPA (July 2024–June 2027) on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule supports Superfund site work across contaminated federal facilities and has issued multiple task orders for PFAS testing, vapor intrusion mitigation, groundwater sampling, and five-year review support.

Bluestone's vehicle portfolio centers on task-order vehicles issued under firm fixed price. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 49 task orders valued at $255.1 million combined, making it the single largest vehicle channel and reflecting Bluestone's presence on federal civilian and defense agency procurement schedules. Five named indefinite delivery contracts account for additional volume: the $90 million HTRW IDIQ with Army Corps of Engineers (New England, multiple award, through November 2027), the $45 million WOSB IDIQ with Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District (multiple award, through March 2029), the $4.8 million BESS IV competitive 8(a) contract with Department of Defense Northeast Region (single award, through March 2028), the $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source Louisville District IDIQ (single award, through June 2027), and the $5 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast environmental remediation IDIQ (total small business, through July 2027). Task orders under these vehicles are modest in scale—typically $50,000 to $500,000—and executed at steady pace. The NASA $225 million Environmental Support Services BPA and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command $45 million DC Area multi-media environmental compliance IDIQ are recent awards with immature task-order pipelines.

Activity has grown modestly year over year—15 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 26 in 2024, 21 in 2025, and 15 to date in 2026. The awards-per-year count reflects Bluestone's reliance on small, incremental task orders rather than large prime awards; the $607.3 million combined potential value across 219 awards yields a median order value near $2.8 million. Twenty-six awards (combined potential value $20.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across the stormwater and Aberdeen Proving Ground contracts and multiple smaller BPA and IDIQ task orders. The $90 million Army Corps of Engineers HTRW IDIQ—Bluestone's anchor vehicle—does not expire until November 2027, providing medium-term recompete runway, but ongoing competition for task orders under that vehicle and the firm's seven other major IDIQs and BPAs will require sustained pursuit and performance.

On the Service Contract Inventory (SCI), Bluestone reported $10.9 million in invoiced prime-contract revenue across FY2023–FY2025, reflecting $3.6 million (FY2023), $3.2 million (FY2024), and $4.1 million (FY2025). SCI captures only federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and non-federal work; these figures represent a narrow slice of the vendor's total federal activity and understate enterprise revenue. The FTE trajectory from SCI was flat to slightly down: 15.1 FTEs in FY2023, 14.2 in FY2024, and 14.5 in FY2025, suggesting a lean delivery model. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $109.76 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $73.35/hr and the 90th percentile at $144.26/hr—a spectrum consistent with field technicians, project scientists, project managers, and senior specialists in environmental testing and assessment roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for roughly 1% of total contractor hours, with only four named subs reported, indicating Bluestone self-performs the vast majority of delivery. Bluestone's GSA Schedule labor portfolio offers nine categories ranging from $50.13/hr (field technician, high school education) to $143.99/hr (principal scientist, 15 years experience, bachelor's degree); no security-cleared roles are offered.

Bluestone operates as a wholly-owned prime across its portfolio—the source records one sub-award (an October 2021 task under Dawson Solutions for CHAAP five-year addendum work), representing less than 1% of total award volume and signaling that Bluestone feeds primarily to larger engineering and environmental contractors on specialized sub-scope work rather than building a teaming pyramid. The firm's $607.3 million portfolio across 219 awards, combined with its active 8(a) and EDWOSB certifications and deep bench of federal agency relationships across Army, Navy, EPA, USDA, and NASA, positions it as an established smaller prime serving the federal environmental compliance and Superfund remediation markets, particularly at military installations and contaminated federal sites in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Bluestone specializes in environmental consulting services. Core services include environmental compliance and permitting; CERCLA/RCRA processes; NEPA; hazardous materials surveys; and regulatory reporting
