About the company
Tether, Inc., doing business as Ers Corp, a Jacksonville, Florida-based minority-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business, operates as a 100% prime contractor delivering environmental remediation, facilities maintenance, construction, and emergency response services to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies. The firm competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (sole source and competitive), HUBZone designations, and total small business set-asides across a diverse customer base, with a corporate structure that includes a named joint venture subsidiary, Tether-Cye JV, LLC.
Tether's capability portfolio centers on hazardous waste management, AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) removal and disposal, storm debris cleanup, facilities demolition, and environmental site remediation at military installations and federal civilian facilities. Representative prime awards include a $3.74 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with Air Mobility Command for cleaning, testing, sampling, inspection, and disposal of oil-water separators, grease traps, and lift stations at Joint Base Charleston through September 2029; a $2.68 million 8(a) sole-source roof replacement contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons at FCI Williamsburg in South Carolina (March 2025); and a $2.14 million 8(a) sole-source contract with Air Education and Training Command for demolition of above-ground and underground tanks damaged by Hurricane Michael in Callaway, Florida (May 2024). The firm also executes smaller, high-frequency delivery orders for specialized environmental services—lead removal, AFFF containment tank cleanout, used oil management, and vegetation clearing—at Naval installations across the southeastern United States.
Customer concentration clusters around Navy technical and operational commands. The top five funding agencies account for 71% of award count and 87% of combined potential value, with the Air National Guard anchoring the dollar share (6 awards, $45.2 million combined potential value, predominantly a single $45 million construction IDIQ through June 2029), followed by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (26 awards, $26.8 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (2 awards, $21.9 million, driven by a recent $21.85 million competitive 8(a) DNA Construction Engineering Support IDIQ awarded February 2026), United States Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (5 awards, $3 million), and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (1 award, $2.8 million). Tether holds four substantive parent Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Navy: a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source environmental remediation and hazardous waste IDC with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (August 2026 expiration, with 6 task orders carrying $811 thousand); a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source storm debris removal and ground services IDC also with NAVFAC (August 2027 expiration, with 5 task orders carrying $790 thousand); and two additional NAVFAC IDCs supporting delivery order work across 14 and 9 task orders respectively. The Air National Guard's $45 million construction MATOC (Multi-Award Task Order Contract) running through June 2029 for maintenance, repair, construction, and design-build services in support of the Florida National Guard represents Tether's largest vehicle capacity and has issued two task orders to date ($99,900 for HVAC services, $2,000 minimum guarantee).
The award trajectory shows contraction since 2022 — 16 awards that year declined to 4 in 2026 year-to-date — though dollar concentration has shifted upward with newer IDIQs dominating the potential-value profile. The recent $21.85 million Naval Sea Systems Command IDIQ (February 2026) and the $45 million Air National Guard MATOC (June 2024) drive the vendor's near-term pipeline. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: six awards with combined potential value of $921 thousand reach ultimate completion by mid-2028, suggesting limited near-term vehicle refresh pressure relative to the multi-million-dollar IDIQ ceilings already in place. Tether's work concentrates in remediation services (26 awards), landscaping and grounds services (19 awards), and commercial/institutional building construction (10 awards) across NAICS 562920 (Remediation Services), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 236220 (Commercial Building Construction), with corresponding PSC coding in environmental services and housekeeping categories. As a 100% prime footprint with no sub-award activity in the source data, Tether operates as a direct contractor rather than a teaming partner, positioning it as a competitor for set-aside work but not a subcontractor resource for larger systems integrators or primes on unrestricted vehicles.
