About the company
Environmental Resource Associates, Inc., operating as ERA and headquartered in Golden, Colorado, manufactures proficiency testing samples, reference materials, and analytical chemistry supplies for federal laboratory and environmental monitoring programs as a prime contractor on a portfolio that is 99% prime awards. ERA is a subsidiary of Waters Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer of analytical instruments and laboratory products, and competes full-and-open across its federal footprint with no set-aside designations applied to recent awards.
ERA's capability portfolio centers on proficiency testing (PT) samples for environmental, radiochemistry, and drinking-water analysis; chemical concentration mixes for quality assurance and blind-sample projects; and laboratory accreditation support services. Representative recent work includes a $76,185 single-award indefinite-delivery contract with EPA Region 1 (awarded June 2026, running through June 2031) for proficiency testing samples performed at North Chelmsford, Massachusetts; a $134,143 purchase order from the Defense Health Agency (June 2025) for drinking-water, non-drinking-water, radiochemistry-water, and soil/hazardous-waste proficiency testing samples (completion June 2030); a $47,793 BPA call from the U.S. Geological Survey (March 2024) for chemical mixes and environmental consulting services; and a $26,659 purchase order from EPA Region 8 (April 2024) for proficiency tests performed in Denver.
Customer concentration is fragmented by award count but heavily weighted by dollar value toward the Interior Department's U.S. Geological Survey, which anchors $805 thousand across nine awards. The Defense Health Agency ranks second by potential value at $332 thousand across seven awards, followed by Army Medical Command at $285 thousand across sixteen awards. By award count, Naval Sea Systems Command dominates with 106 awards valued at $144 thousand combined — a volume-driven relationship characteristic of Navy laboratory and ship-system testing requirements, while EPA accounts for 15 awards at $26 thousand. The top five customer agencies by award count represent 68% of the portfolio; the top five by dollar value represent 78% of combined potential value, indicating that USGS and DHA's multi-year contracts anchor the portfolio while NAVSEA generates high-frequency, low-dollar transactional work.
ERA maintains three active parent vehicles: an indefinite-delivery contract (N6871101A3126) with 23 task orders, and two USGS blanket purchase agreements (140G0221A0004 and 140G0223A0005) with $128 thousand and $95 thousand in combined potential value respectively. The IDIQ and BPA structure reflects EPA, DOI, and DoD laboratory accreditation and quality-assurance missions that require recurring but variable volumes of test samples and reference materials.
Activity has trended downward — eight awards in 2022 declining to four in 2025 — with only three awards (combined potential value $53 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure. ERA also operates as a subcontractor to Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory support, March 2026) and General Dynamics Information Technology (EPA Superfund Analytical Services, February 2025 and April 2024). The portfolio is dominated by two NAICS codes: Testing Laboratories and Services (95 awards) and All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (75 awards), with PSC concentration in Chemicals (83 awards) and Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties (36 awards).
