Environmental, Inc.

Environmental, Inc., a small North Carolina–based environmental services firm, operates as a prime contractor delivering water sampling, testing, wastewater inspection, and emergency water system repair services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related agencies, competing under small business and full-and-open set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Sylva, North Carolina (with operations noted in Murphy, North Carolina), focused on potable water quality testing, bacterial and coliform analysis, chlorination management, and wastewater system compliance across federal facilities.

Environmental, Inc.'s customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Southern Region (Region 8). The top four customer agencies account for 76% of recent awards by count, led by USDA Forest Service R8-Southern Region (6 awards, $213 thousand combined potential value), followed by USDA Forest Service Job Corps (4 awards, $17 thousand), USDA Forest Service Research Service Southern Research Station (2 awards, $18 thousand), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (1 award, $4 thousand). The rankings by award count and potential value align closely around the Southern Region concentration.

Recent representative work includes a $48 thousand firm fixed-price contract awarded February 1, 2026 (ultimate completion January 31, 2031) for comprehensive water sampling and testing on the Cheoah and Tusquitee Ranger Districts of Nantahala National Forest under a total small business set-aside, covering approximately 192 annual water tests with nitrate, bacterial, coliform, iron, and chlorination residual analysis; a $47.125 thousand total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded March 14, 2024 (ultimate completion February 28, 2029) for water sampling, testing, and wastewater inspections across 15 sites in Pisgah National Forest; and a $17.625 thousand purchase order awarded March 8, 2024 (ultimate completion August 28, 2025) for water sampling, testing, and emergency repairs on the Cheoah and Tusquitee Ranger Districts. Activity is sparse—one award each in 2019, 2021, 2023, and two in 2024—with a combined portfolio value of $265 thousand across seventeen prime awards and $197 thousand obligated to date. The vendor does not subcontract and has not placed task orders on government-wide vehicles. Environmental, Inc. holds NAICS classifications primarily in Water Supply and Irrigation Systems (6 awards) and Septic Tank and Related Services (4 awards), with PSC codes aligned to environmental services inspection and water quality support.
