EA Engineering, Science, And Technology, Inc., PBC

EA Engineering, Science, And Technology, Inc., PBC, doing business as EA Science And Technology, is an employee-owned public benefit corporation headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, that delivers environmental remediation, site assessment, and contaminated site characterization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor on larger environmental programs. The vendor is a certified small business competing predominantly under total small business and partial small business set-asides across federal environmental remediation vehicles, though it also wins full-and-open procurements.

EA Engineering's capability footprint centers on environmental site investigation, remedial action design and engineering, long-term monitoring operations, PFAS assessment and treatment, and compliance support across Superfund, Defense Environmental Restoration Program, and related federal environmental restoration initiatives. Recent representative work includes a $38.1 million total small business set-aside firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Army Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District for environmental remedial services at Kirtland Air Force Base's Bulk Fuels Facility (awarded August 2025, completion August 2030), a $50 million total small business set-aside optimized remediation contract for Joint Base Cape Cod addressing multiple Installation Restoration and Military Munitions Response Program sites (awarded September 2024, completion September 2034), a $14.5 million delivery order from EPA Region 5 for construction and in-situ thermal treatment at the Keystone Operable Unit 1 Remedial Action Site in Indianapolis (awarded April 2024, completion September 2026), and ongoing delivery orders under EPA's Remedial Acquisition Framework (DES, ESO, RES vehicles) for Superfund site investigations and feasibility studies across EPA Regions 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 in the $2–$16 million range.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward environmental remediation-focused agencies. The top five funding agencies by award count and potential value diverge: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center leads by potential value with 111 awards worth $3.95 billion combined; EPA Region 5 follows with 78 awards worth $3.79 billion; EPA Region 3 accounts for 38 awards worth $1.45 billion; the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District carries 163 awards totaling $1.42 billion; and the Army Installation Management Command Headquarters represents 33 awards worth $983.8 million. Together these five customers represent roughly 54% of combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio. Department of the Navy and Naval Facilities Engineering Command, while high in award count (198 and 185 respectively), represent a smaller potential-value share, reflecting smaller average delivery order sizes. The vendor serves 128 distinct customer agencies, indicating broad federal customer relationships but concentrated exposure to environmental remediation-focused procurements.

EA Engineering holds multiple master indefinite delivery vehicles: a $960 million total small business set-aside IDIQ with EPA Region 5 for Great Lakes National Program Office Remediation and Restoration Services II (GLNPO-RRS II) through January 2029; a $960 million total small business set-aside Environmental and Munitions Response-Restricted Services Support contract with the Army Corps of Engineers through April 2035; a $464 million total small business set-aside Environmental Remediation MAIDIQ with Army Headquarters through May 2029; a $245 million environmental remediation IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District through October 2030; a $240 million partial small business set-aside NAVFAC Environmental Remediation Services IDIQ through April 2029; a $100 million partial small business set-aside Air Force architect-engineering environmental services contract through March 2035; a $45 million total small business set-aside NAVFAC long-term monitoring and operations contract through January 2031; and a $500 million partial small business MATOC with the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District through August 2030. The vendor also holds seats on GSA's OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (ceiling no specified limit, through December 2029) and OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (ceiling no specified limit, through December 2029), positioning it to bid environmental services across federal agencies on both set-aside and full-and-open task orders. SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing demonstrates year-over-year growth: $52.7 million in FY2022 (127 FTEs), $67.3 million in FY2023 (135 FTEs), and $80.7 million in FY2024 (198 FTEs). On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $184.88 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $377.71 per hour and junior technician rates from $122.42 per hour.

EA Engineering operates as a pure prime contractor by volume—98% of awards in recent years carry prime designation—and across SCI-reportable contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 8% of total contractor hours, indicating the vendor typically builds its own delivery teams rather than leaning heavily on subs. Named subcontractors on federal environmental work include specialized laboratory providers such as SGS North America Inc. and Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories; environmental remediation specialists including Ground & Water Technology LLC, Environmental Quality Management Inc., and Reworld Remediation Services; engineering firms such as Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.; and specialty service providers including J.F. Brennan Company (marine contracting) and Clean Harbors Environmental Services. The vendor's federal grant footprint is minimal: a single $3.81 million cooperative agreement award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (August 2023, completion April 2028) for installation planning, project design, and implementation of nature-based solutions to increase Department of Defense infrastructure resilience and address climate-driven risks to natural and cultural resources, with a demonstration project focus on Fallbrook Creek Stabilization and Erosion Control.

Activity has remained stable year-over-year with 89–99 awards annually from 2022 through 2025, though 2026 data is incomplete. A recompete cliff of 141 awards (combined potential value $359.2 million) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete opportunity for competitors and recompete exposure for the vendor. The corporate structure includes 19 named subsidiaries, most of which are joint ventures (Ea-Wood-1 MP JV, Eatc JV, Ea-Baker Partners JV, Ea-Baker JV, Ea-Wood-2 MP JV), suggesting the vendor partners with other firms on larger or specialized remediation programs; however, the source does not specify which subsidiaries are active or which joint ventures are material to federal contracting strategy. EA Engineering's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 18 categories from junior technician roles at $53.65 per hour to principal-level positions at $280.19 per hour, with most offerings at the midrange technician, scientist, engineer, and project manager levels aligned with environmental site assessment and remediation delivery requirements.
