Environmental Science Services Inc.

Environmental Science Services Inc., doing business as ES2, is a Louisiana-based minority-owned small disadvantaged business certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program through January 25, 2030. Headquartered in Denham Springs, Louisiana, ES2 specializes in providing comprehensive technical consulting, environmental planning, project management, and infrastructure support services primarily to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The company's service portfolio encompasses environmental assessments, natural resource management, field data collection, regulatory compliance support, and specialized technical services such as LIDAR surveys, equipment repairs, and infrastructure maintenance. ES2 is a DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and is registered as a for-profit organization in the federal procurement system as of June 29, 2009, with SAM.gov registration expiring April 7, 2026.

Through its federal contract awards, ES2 has demonstrated substantial expertise in supporting the Army Corps of Engineers' diverse mission requirements. The company has received numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders across multiple contract vehicles, with recent significant awards including a $3.31 million delivery order for environmental project support, scheduling, and master plan services (awarded September 10, 2025), a $2.05 million delivery order for quality assurance mission specialist support for debris removal operations related to Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina (awarded May 20, 2025), and a $997,183 delivery order for project support and environmental services (awarded June 11, 2025). ES2 has also executed contracts for specialized services including LIDAR surveys in Orange, Texas ($32,179.78), development of pipeline repositories ($75,112.60), ocean dump site sampling ($92,294.58), professional support services ($566,755.78 and $1,329,893.30), regulatory navigation water security services ($162,656.78), and Tunica Biloxi planning assistance and flood plain management program support ($801,616).

All contract awards were issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with performance locations primarily concentrated in Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas, demonstrating ES2's regional expertise and established relationships with the agency.

ES2's federal grant award activity is more limited compared to its contract portfolio. The company has received a federal grant sub-award from the Louisiana Department of Health dated June 30, 2025, under which ES2 serves as a subcontractor to provide advanced geographic information systems (GIS) analyses to support the Section of Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology (SEET) program. Under this grant-funded engagement, ES2 is responsible for conducting GIS analyses of utility, well registry, environmental, population, exposure, and equity data to develop web and static map displays. The work includes developing business and data needs assessments, identifying and securing key datasets for geospatial analyses, estimating the number and distribution of private wells within defined areas, analyzing well testing distribution and contaminant risk exposure to private well users, and identifying potential safe water issues. ES2 is also tasked with providing expert consultation on data privacy protection requirements at the federal, state, and agency-specific levels, ensuring compliance with requirements such as Protected Identity Information protocols and address point data safeguards. The deliverables include assistance with data standardization policies and comprehensive environmental health dataset characterization to address issues of water quality, quantity, coverage, and continuity for private well users throughout Louisiana.

ES2 maintains four Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, each valued at $4.5 million with varying periods of performance and set-aside designations. The most recent IDC, awarded July 16, 2025, and set aside under 8(a) sole source authority, extends through July 15, 2030, and covers environmental professional support services including technical consulting, environmental planning, project management, infrastructure support, environmental assessments, natural resource management, field data collection, regulatory compliance support, LIDAR surveys, equipment repairs, and infrastructure maintenance. A second IDC, awarded January 31, 2024, and also set aside under 8(a) sole source authority, extends through January 30, 2029, and specifically addresses emergency management support, professional support services, and natural resources management and environmental services; this contract vehicle was notably transferred to support Hurricane Helene recovery operations. A third IDC, awarded September 29, 2023, without set-aside designation, runs through September 28, 2028, and provides project management and professional support services for the Army Corps' civil works program in the greater New Orleans area, supporting water resources development, disaster response, and regulatory permitting initiatives. The fourth IDC, awarded September 28, 2023, and set aside under 8(a) sole source authority, is valid through September 27, 2027, and focuses on natural resources management and environmental services, encompassing environmental planning, compliance, restoration and conservation projects, field work to assess environmental conditions, development of natural resource management plans, and biological surveys. Across all four IDCs, the Army Corps of Engineers has issued numerous task orders and delivery orders, including minimum guarantee orders and orders for specialized services, demonstrating consistent utilization of ES2's capabilities across emergency management, environmental services, professional support, and infrastructure maintenance domains.
