Erg-Terracon JV, L.L.C.

Erg-Terracon JV, L.L.C., a woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business joint venture, operates as a prime contractor delivering archaeological surveys, cultural resource compliance documentation, and environmental consulting services to federal land management and defense agencies under Total Small Business and WOSB set-asides. The Baltimore, Maryland-based joint venture between Environmental Research Group, L.L.C. (parent) and Terracon holds WOSB, SDVOSB, EDWOSB, and minority-owned certifications, competing exclusively as a set-aside prime across a portfolio that has grown from one award in 2023 to seven in 2026.

Erg-Terracon's capability footprint centers on Section 106 compliance, National Historic Preservation Act documentation, archaeological site eligibility assessment, heritage surveys, and cultural resource mitigation across federal lands and defense installations. Representative work includes a $1.8 million Competitive Total Small Business BPA call from the Forest Service National Office (awarded September 2026) for cultural and natural resource documentation at Biltmore Forest, North Carolina, extending through September 2028; a $579 thousand BPA call from Forest Service Region 6 (awarded July 2026) for archaeological surveys supporting Presidential Executive Order 14225 compliance at the Wenatchee River Ranger District in Washington; a $386 thousand delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded September 2025) for archaeological evaluation of fifteen sites at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California; and a $236 thousand BPA call from the Forest Service (awarded October 2025) for heritage surveys on the 24,000-acre Ash Creek forest health project in California.

Customer concentration runs heavily toward the Department of the Navy (Naval Facilities Engineering Command), which accounts for three awards and $100.4 million in combined potential value — a stark contrast to the volume leaders. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates award count (four awards from Region 6 alone, plus two from Washington Office Acquisitions), but the Forest Service's combined potential value is $50.2 million from two awards (the large LMIR BPA) while Navy represents $100.4 million from three awards. The Army Corps of Engineers places five awards totaling $51.6 million combined potential value across the Seattle District WOSB IDIQ ($45 million) and Tulsa District cultural resources IDC ($6.5 million). Across all customers, nine distinct federal agencies have issued or hold IDVs with Erg-Terracon, though Navy, Forest Service, and Army dominate both dollars and volume.

Erg-Terracon holds four indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring its federal posture: a $99.9 million NAVFAC Southwest multiple-award IDIQ for cultural resource services across Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah through May 2033 (effective May 2025, with two delivery orders issued to date); a $50 million Forest Service Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA running through March 2033 (eight task orders placed, $3.3 million combined potential value); a $45 million Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District WOSB multiple-award IDIQ for environmental consulting services through March 2029 (effective April 2026); and a $6.5 million Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District cultural resources IDC through August 2029 (effective September 2024). An older $900 thousand Forest Service Region 9 single-award BPA for historic preservation services runs through February 2028, with no recent task orders. These vehicles position Erg-Terracon to respond to federal cultural resource and environmental consulting requirements across western and central regions.

Award velocity has accelerated — four awards in 2024, five in 2025, seven in 2026 — with $206.2 million in combined potential value across seventeen awards. However, only $3.8 million (2% of ceiling) has been obligated to date, reflecting the dominance of IDV ceilings that establish capacity rather than committed work. The recompete cliff is modest: five awards (combined potential value $2.7 million) complete within the next twenty-four months, concentrated on smaller Forest Service BPA calls expiring through April 2025 and September 2026. Erg-Terracon operates exclusively as a prime (100% prime awards, zero sub awards in the source), meaning it holds no significant subcontract exposure and does not appear in teaming arrangements. Work is performed nationwide, with recent performance locations including Wenatchee and Leavenworth, Washington; Biltmore Forest, North Carolina; Ridgecrest, California; and Seattle, Washington. NAICS codes 541611 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) dominate the award portfolio.
