BSA Environmental Services Inc.

BSA Environmental Services Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, provides specialized aquatic ecosystem analysis and laboratory testing services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations — though 40% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-asides — and operates under NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services).

BSA's core capability centers on phytoplankton identification, enumeration, and biovolume analysis; cyanotoxin testing via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry; zooplankton assessment; and microscopic examination of water samples. Representative prime awards include a $360,760 phytoplankton identification and enumeration order from the U.S. Geological Survey (awarded June 2024, extending through January 2028 with option years), a $480,397.50 geochemical and biological analyses delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (April 2023, completed September 2024), and a $401,451 phytoplankton sample identification order from USGS (awarded July 2024, extending through March 2030 with four option periods) covering 2,600 preserved samples from the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Recent smaller awards include a $53,000 microcystin analysis purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (September 2026, completion September 2027) and a $62,797.21 biological analysis delivery order from the Bureau of Reclamation (July 2026, completion July 2027).

Customer concentration is fragmented but interior-agency heavy. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 76% of recent awards: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers' Tulsa District leads at 95 awards ($197 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Bureau of Reclamation (57 awards, $1.8 million), USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants (45 awards, $2.6 million), the Army Corps of Engineers primary (16 awards, $151 thousand), and the Army Corps Engineer Research and Development Center (11 awards, $3.6 million). By potential value, the distribution shifts: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors $9.9 million across two awards (the $5 million Federal Supply Schedule and related ordering activity), followed by the Army Corps Engineer Research and Development Center ($3.6 million), USGS ($2.6 million), the Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water ($1.9 million), and the Bureau of Reclamation ($1.8 million). GSA's concentration reflects BSA's placement on the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), which has generated 36 task orders carrying $4.9 million in combined potential value.

BSA holds five active IDV and BPA vehicles: a $5 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded June 2026 running through June 2031, with 36 task orders for aquatic ecosystem and laboratory testing services; a $1.92 million multiple-award BPA with the Army Corps Engineer Research and Development Center (September 2025–September 2030) yielding three Total Small Business BPA calls totaling $408,610 to date; a $304,643 single-award BPA with Defense Logistics Information Service Louisville for water quality testing laboratory services (April 2026–March 2031); a $249,999.99 single-award IDIQ with USGS for phytoplankton analysis services excluding picoplankton (March 2023–August 2028) under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $460,000 single-award IDIQ with the Bureau of Reclamation for biological water sample analysis (June 2022–June 2027, firm fixed price, no set-aside), which has generated five delivery orders ($218,328 combined value to date). The vendor also operates under a $55,000 USGS BPA for phytoplankton and periphyton analyses (June 2022–June 2027).

Two legacy multiple-award BPAs with the Tulsa District and other Army offices (W912BV12A0008 and INR10PA80231) account for 143 historical task orders but carry minimal recent value ($78 thousand combined), reflecting either inactive ordering or recompete transitions. GSA MAS remains the primary active multi-agency vehicle.

Recent activity shows modest year-over-year volatility — 8 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 12 in 2026 — with combined potential value of $22.4 million across all 294 awards (including federal grants). Obligated dollars total $9 million (40% of potential value). Twelve awards valued at $963 thousand reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting moderate recompete exposure across phytoplankton analysis, cyanotoxin testing, and water quality monitoring work currently executing at USGS, Bureau of Reclamation, and Army Corps customer bases.

GSA Schedule labor portfolio reflects scientific and technical staffing: Technical Support Specialists I–II ($94.47–$108.62 per hour, bachelor's degree, 0–2 years experience), Scientist I–II ($141.70–$174.77 per hour, bachelor's degree, 5–10 years experience), and a Senior Scientist III role ($213.10 per hour, master's degree, 10 years experience). No security-cleared positions are offered. The rate structure supports cost-competitive delivery on federal water-quality, environmental-monitoring, and aquatic-research task orders, with federal customers spanning Interior, Army, Commerce, EPA, and Defense Logistics agencies. One federal grant sub-award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (July 2024) rounds out a portfolio dominated by federal contract prime work.
