Guardian Environmental Services Co Inc.

Guardian Environmental Services Co Inc., headquartered in Newark, Delaware, operates as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) prime contractor delivering environmental remediation, hazardous waste cleanup, and commercial construction services to federal agencies, with a $1.58 billion combined potential value across 411 awards and zero subcontractor positions.

Guardian competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across its federal footprint. The vendor holds SDVOSB and VOSB certifications through December 15, 2027, and 100% of its awards are prime contracts; the company does not operate as a subcontractor. Recent concrete work includes a $4.61 million SDVOSB Sole Source definitive contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 for renovation of Building 110 to prepare a PET CT site at the Hampton VA Health Care System (ultimate completion April 14, 2027), a $5.46 million SDVOSB definitive contract with VISN 5 for cardiac catheterization lab replacement and renovation at the Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center (ultimate completion April 26, 2027), a $17.07 million SDVOSB definitive contract with VISN 5 for steam system upgrade and construction at Perry Point VA Healthcare System in Maryland (ultimate completion December 7, 2027), and a $350,000 time-and-materials delivery order with EPA Region 2 for emergency removal and remediation at the Pioneer Metal Finishing Site in Franklinville, New Jersey (completed January 26, 2026).

Customer concentration is acute and split between two distinct agency populations. The top five funding agencies by combined potential value account for 97% of all dollars: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 anchors the portfolio with $518.3 million across 12 awards, while EPA Region 2, EPA Region 3, VA VISN 4, and EPA Region 1 together contribute $1.003 billion across 345 awards. By award count, EPA Region 3 leads with 109 awards ($283.4 million), followed closely by VA VISN 4 with 94 awards ($249.3 million) and EPA Region 2 with 89 awards ($291.6 million). The divergence reflects Guardian's position on high-dollar VA construction IDIQs anchoring most value while EPA emergency response vehicles drive volume through smaller task orders.

Guardian holds five primary parent vehicles: two Emergency Rapid Response Services IDIQs across EPA regions (94 and 93 task orders respectively, $119.1 million combined potential value), a $35 million multiple-award SDVOSB IDC with VA VISN 5 for general construction awarded April 28, 2025, a $300 million multiple-award SDVOSB IDC with VA VISN 5 for construction services in Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. (awarded February 22, 2023, with individual task orders ranging $1 million to $20 million), and a $50 million multiple-award environmental services IDC with VA VISN 4 (awarded July 2022, running through July 2031).

Activity remained flat over the past five years—five awards in both 2022 and 2023, five in 2024, six in 2025, and three through September 2026—reflecting the mature, vehicle-based nature of the business where volume flows through standing IDIQs and task order vehicles rather than discrete solicitations. Seven awards with combined potential value $29.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure concentrated in VA facility work and EPA environmental remediation.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $16.7 million across FY2022–FY2025, with peak activity in FY2022 at $9.6 million across 6.0 FTEs, declining to $1.5 million across 1.6 FTEs in FY2024, then recovering to $2.1 million across 2.7 FTEs in FY2025. Guardian self-performs all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement across prime contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work span a wide spectrum: median rates around $617.46/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $2,246.19/hr and entry-level rates near $96.54/hr, reflecting the mixed labor composition of environmental remediation crews and construction management roles.

Guardian's capability portfolio centers on Superfund site remediation, lead and hazardous-waste soil mitigation, emergency environmental response, VA medical facility renovation and construction, HVAC and mechanical systems upgrade, and building infrastructure repair. Work is performed across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with place of performance at multiple VA medical centers in Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., and West Virginia, and at EPA emergency response sites in New Jersey and surrounding areas. The vendor's 411-award footprint and $1.58 billion potential value, combined with its exclusive SDVOSB designation and prime-only positioning, position it as a specialized provider to VA healthcare facility construction and EPA emergency environmental response across northeastern federal regions.
