Energy And Security Group, LLC

Energy And Security Group, LLC, doing business as ESG, is a small business based in Reston, Virginia that delivers advanced research and development, professional consulting, and technical advisory services across defense, international development, and civilian energy sectors, operating as a prime contractor on 91% of recent awards and holding positions on multiple governmentwide and agency-specific indefinite-delivery vehicles. ESG competes in both full-and-open and small-business set-aside categories, with recent activity split between unrestricted and total-small-business procurements.

The vendor's customer and dollar concentration reveals a stark split between award count and potential value. By award count, the top five customers—GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $3.9 million), Marine Corps (3 awards, $2 million), Army (3 awards), EPA Office for Air and Radiation (2 awards, $2.9 million), and USAID Philippines (2 awards)—account for 44% of recent awards. However, by potential value, the portfolio is anchored by two massive commitments: the Naval Sea Systems Command's Seaport-NXG IDIQ (2 awards, $4 billion combined potential) and a USAID Bureau for Management office award ($350 million potential). These two customers alone represent nearly 99% of ESG's combined potential-value base, meaning the vendor's near-term recompete and revenue risk is concentrated in Navy facilities-support and international development programming.

ESG holds four active indefinite-delivery vehicles positioned across multiple functional domains. On the Navy side, ESG placed a $500 minimum-guarantee task order under Seaport-NXG (NAICS 541330, Facilities Support Services, through January 1, 2029) and a separate $500 minimum-guarantee task order under an Army Southern Command IDIQ (Total Small Business set-aside, humanitarian assistance, through September 24, 2028). On the civilian and small-business sides, ESG holds OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ status (December 19, 2024 award, no dollar ceiling specified, through December 18, 2029) and OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ status (December 17, 2024 award, no dollar ceiling specified, through December 16, 2029), both spanning seven functional domains (Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics). ESG also maintains a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (MAS, 47QRAA24D0087, $2.5 million ceiling through May 15, 2029) with 64 unique labor categories spanning research assistants at $37.92/hr through senior renewable energy experts at $219.04/hr—no security-cleared roles are offered on the Schedule. Against the MAS and OASIS+ vehicles, ESG has placed a $4.3 million delivery order with the Millennium Challenge Corporation for infrastructure technical advisory consulting in Indonesia (time-and-materials, through July 14, 2030).

Capability concentration centers on research and development, advanced modeling and simulation, human-performance analysis, and strategic advisory work. Representative recent awards include a $1.5 million Marine Corps SBIR Phase II (August 31, 2023, completion October 11, 2026) for civilian pattern-of-life models, a $239,958 Marine Corps SBIR Phase I (July 15, 2024, completion May 14, 2025) under topic 24.1-002, and a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency multiple-award Other Transaction IDV ($1.8 million ceiling, February 6, 2026) for assessing knowledge-domain models and trust evaluation in autonomous decision-making systems using decision-modeling methodologies. The vendor also maintains active international development work as a subcontractor to Research Triangle Institute on USAID Papua New Guinea electrification partnerships (two sub awards, November 2024 and January 2024, totaling $2.7 million incrementally) and as a subcontractor to CCFC, LLC on a Department of Energy Better Buildings Initiative task order (January 27, 2025) supporting solution development and partner communications.

Activity shows growth after a flat 2022–2023 period: one award in 2022, three in 2023, six in 2024, declining to three in 2025 and two in 2026 (as of late July). The source's coverage through early 2024 does not capture full-year 2025 and 2026 trajectory. Obligated dollars ($41.9 million across 32 awards) represent only 1% of combined potential value, reflecting heavy reliance on the two massive Navy and USAID ceiling-value IDIQs and MCC delivery order. Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022–2024 shows volatility: $3.3 million invoiced across 14.6 FTEs in FY2022, declining to $2.5 million across 6.8 FTEs in FY2023, then $238 thousand across zero FTEs in FY2024, with FY2025 data partial. Across the three SCI prime records, median government-paid hourly rates run around $175.25/hr (10th percentile $120.81/hr, 90th percentile $6,648.15/hr), and subcontractors account for 17% of total contractor hours on prime contracts, with six named subs reported. The vendor subcontracts to CCFC, LLC and Research Triangle Institute on energy and international development work but does not appear in the source as a major subcontractor on large primes.
