Braun Intertec Corp

Braun Intertec Corp, a for-profit S-corporation headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota, provides construction quality assurance testing, geotechnical engineering, materials sampling, non-destructive evaluation, and weld inspection services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (97% of awards) in full-and-open competition, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The vendor's federal work centers on materials testing and construction quality assurance. Representative recent prime awards include a $25,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for construction material quality assurance testing on the REACH SE-2B project (October 2025), a $53,754 purchase order from the Corps for core sampling and petrographic testing of concrete at Lock and Dam sites 2 and 3 in Hastings, Minnesota (December 2024), a $232,952 expert witness engagement with the Corps' Sacramento District for Isabella Dam claim analysis (March 2022), and a $41,305 purchase order for mass concrete evaluation and ASBCA litigation support (January 2023). The vendor also holds a $2.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army Corps of Engineers, awarded December 2024 through December 2029, for construction QA materials sampling, testing management, and weld inspection across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Iowa.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Army Corps of Engineers. The top customer, the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and its regional districts, accounts for 63% of awards (53 total awards across all Corps entities) and 97% of combined potential value ($10.8 million). The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration represents the only material secondary customer with four awards valued at $4.4 million combined. The vendor has also served the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and thirteen additional agencies, but these represent sub-one-percent shares of activity.

Braun Intertec places most delivery orders under two active indefinite delivery contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers: the W912ES25D0003 IDC (9 task orders, $170 thousand combined potential value) and the W912ES21D0004 IDC (18 task orders, $205 thousand combined potential value). The vendor also holds positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (4 task orders) and legacy IDC vehicles including DACW3794D0004 and DACW3795D0003.

Activity has been episodic but recently strengthened. The past five years show: eight awards in 2021, ten in 2022, a notable decline to two in 2023, recovery to six in 2024, and ten awards through October 2025. Combined potential value across the 99 total awards in the source data is $15.9 million, with $6.1 million obligated to date (38% realization rate). Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($25 thousand), indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.

Braun Intertec operates as a prime on nearly all federal work but maintains a limited subcontractor footprint. Named sub-awards include geotechnical services and environmental assessments for Parsons Government Services Inc. (two sub-awards, 2022 and 2024) and services supporting the Pantex Plant management contract under Pantexas Deterrence LLC (August 2025). The vendor's corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Edwards-Pitman Environmental Inc. (for-profit S-corporation) and Braun Intertec Geothermal LLC (limited liability company), which expand the parent's environmental consulting and geothermal service capabilities, though the source contains no award detail attributable to these subsidiaries separately.

The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open solicitations, holding no SBA certifications or set-aside designations. Its work is concentrated in construction materials testing (51 of 99 awards) and environmental systems protection (11 awards), with secondary exposure to engineering services, site preparation, and environmental consulting. Performance locations cluster in the Upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota) but include engagement with Corps districts in Sacramento and Omaha, reflecting the geographic distribution of lock, dam, and civil works infrastructure projects across the federal portfolio.
