Environmental Management & Planning Solutions LLC

Environmental Management & Planning Solutions LLC, a small business subsidiary of AECOM headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, delivers National Environmental Policy Act analysis, environmental impact assessments, resource management planning, and cultural resource consulting to the Department of the Interior and U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor on federal contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The firm operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and holds several significant blanket purchase agreements totaling over $96 million in ceiling value across Department of Interior bureaus and the Forest Service.

Customer concentration is extreme and interior-focused. The top five funding agencies account for 52% of awards by count and 47% of combined potential value, led decisively by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office (68 awards, $128.6 million combined potential value) and the Bureau of Reclamation (56 awards, $110.3 million combined potential value). The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station ($42 million combined potential value across 11 awards) ranks third by dollar magnitude but far lower by award count, indicating substantially larger individual task orders. Regional BLM offices in Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico collectively represent $23.1 million across 61 awards, underscoring the vendor's deep embeddedness in BLM regional operations.

The vendor's core capability footprint centers on NEPA compliance, environmental documentation, and federal land management planning. Representative recent work includes a $14.356 million BPA call from the Bureau of Reclamation (April 2023, BLM National Environmental Policy Act Support Services BPA) for an environmental impact statement on post-2026 Lower Colorado River reservoir operational strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead; a $2.144 million BPA call from BLM Utah Region (May 2024) for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Resource Management Plan; a $1.647 million BPA call from the Bureau of Reclamation (September 2023, Fish and Wildlife Service Scientific Advisory and Technical Peer Review Services BPA) for the Long Term Experimental Monitoring Program Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement; and a $1.168 million National Office delivery order (September 2025, BLM National Planning and NEPA Services BPA) for North Dakota Resource Management Plan Amendment and Environmental Assessment. Work extends to cultural resource surveys, biological assessments, environmental assessments, and public engagement support across public lands and water resource projects.

Environmental Management & Planning Solutions sits on five parent contract vehicles dominating its delivery footprint. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (47QRAA23D0018, $120.052 million ceiling through November 2027) anchors 235 task orders worth $239.8 million in combined potential value. The BLM National Environmental Policy Act Support Services BPA ($30 million ceiling through August 2028, awarded August 14, 2023) carries 82 task orders worth $47.5 million. The U.S. Forest Service Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA ($50 million ceiling through March 2033, awarded August 18, 2023) supports environmental planning, restoration, and project management work. The Fish and Wildlife Service Scientific, Advisory and Technical Peer Review Services BPA ($6.1 million, single award through June 30, 2025) and a $10 million Air Quality BPA (total small business set-aside through April 28, 2025) round out the held vehicles. Recent task orders also reference the Professional Services Schedule ($13.5 million combined potential value across 46 task orders), Blanket Purchase Agreement INL11PA00270 ($9.2 million across 31 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 140R1019D0003 ($15.1 million across 30 task orders).

GSA Schedule labor rates span 17 categories from $70.61/hr (clerical, high school education) through $245.05/hr (principal scientist/engineer, bachelor's degree, 20+ years experience). SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold shows growth from $4.1 million in FY2022 across 11.4 FTEs to $10.2 million in FY2024 across 31.8 FTEs—a 149% revenue increase over two years with workforce scaling proportional to billable volume. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $152.35/hr, with 90th percentile rates reaching $400.75/hr. The vendor self-performed substantially all reported labor, with subcontractors accounting for an average 5% of contractor hours across prime contracts and only 12 total named subcontractors in the SCI dataset.

Award activity has contracted sharply. The vendor received 39 awards in 2022 and 28 in 2023, then declined to 13 in 2024 and only 3 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 to date. This near-cliff trajectory signals major recompete exposure: 22 awards (combined potential value $30.3 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The BLM National Environmental Policy Act Support Services BPA itself does not expire until August 2028, but its recent task-order cadence has slowed dramatically, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule recompete cycle will drive significant competitive pressure from FY2027 forward. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open (most awards carry no set-aside designation), though scattered total small business set-asides appear on individual BPA calls, particularly from the Forest Service and EPA Air Quality BPA.

Environmental Management & Planning Solutions operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of AECOM. The corporate relationship provides access to AECOM's broader infrastructure consulting and federal contracting footprint but does not appear to drive material prime-to-sub work flow: the vendor's sub-award record contains only one named sub-award (an AECOM Technical Services sub task on an Izembek National Wildlife Refuge EIS development effort, awarded November 2023), reflecting a self-delivery model for the bulk of federal work. The firm's customer concentration and capability footprint are tightly aligned with Interior land management modernization, water resource planning, and compliance-driven environmental documentation—a narrowly leveraged position vulnerable to shifts in administration priorities or agency budget reallocation away from NEPA-intensive planning cycles.
