CES Consulting, LLC

CES Consulting, LLC, a minority-owned, 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business based in Sterling, Virginia, delivers construction inspection and engineering services to federal transportation and infrastructure agencies as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) under indefinite delivery contracts and GSA Schedule vehicles. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and Subcontinent Asian American-owned entity with a subsidiary, Pinnacle-Ces Engineering, LLC, which holds Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) certification in a joint-venture structure.

CES Consulting's award footprint is heavily concentrated in transportation infrastructure. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration dominates the active portfolio, anchoring nine awards valued at $21.4 million combined potential value for construction inspection personnel (Levels II and III) across Blue Ridge Parkway pavement preservation, Great Smoky Mountains National Park projects, and corridor improvements in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia. The company's single largest award is a $180 million IDIQ with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles for border infrastructure construction services, awarded in March 2024 with performance extending through March 2029. That award alone represents 83% of CES Consulting's combined potential value across all recent awards. The company also holds a $1 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded March 2025, multiple-award vehicle under the Master Schedule) and one subcontract from the Forest Service R8-Southern Region.

The core capability portfolio centers on construction inspection, professional engineering, program management, and construction phase services under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services). Recent representative work includes a $538,168 delivery order from FHWA in March 2022 for Level II inspector personnel on the Natchitoches Foothill projects; a $225,968 FHWA delivery order awarded April 2025 for Construction Inspector Level III services on the Mississippi ERFO Vicksburg project (extended through December 2026); a $135,058 May 2026 delivery order for Construction Inspector Level II support on Blue Ridge Parkway pavement preservation in Franklin, Virginia; and a $69,163 June 2026 delivery order for Construction Inspector Level III in Amherst, New Hampshire. CES Consulting's GSA Schedule carries thirteen labor categories across engineering disciplines (Construction Inspector, Engineer, Estimator, Project Manager, Senior Construction Inspector, Senior Engineer, Senior Estimator, Scheduler, Senior Scheduler, Admin/Document Controls Specialist, Construction Manager, Project Records Manager, and Subject Matter Expert) with hourly rates spanning $68.82 to $264.50, requiring associate to bachelor's degrees with zero to fifteen years of experience; no security-cleared positions are offered.

CES Consulting's primary vehicle position is a $20 million IDIQ MATOC with FHWA (awarded October 2021, running through October 2026) under which eight delivery orders have been placed totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value. The single-award FHWA IDIQ generates the steady stream of task orders for construction inspection personnel on specific highway and parkway projects. The company competes on a full-and-open basis across all named awards; no set-aside designations appear in the recent delivery-order work despite 8(a) certification.

Activity has grown in 2025 and into 2026 — one award in 2023 through four in 2025 and three in 2026 so far — though the growth masks concentration risk: the $180 million Army Corps of Engineers award for border barrier construction dominates the potential-value outlook, while the FHWA construction inspection business generates recurring but modest-sized delivery orders. Three awards (combined potential value $430 thousand) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. CES Consulting performs one identified subcontract role as Quality Program Manager on Kiewit Infrastructure South Co's Virginia Creeper Trail Reconstruction project for FHWA, awarded January 2026.
