HGS LLC

HGS LLC, doing business as Res Environmental Operating Company, LLC, a child entity of Resource Environmental Solutions LLC, delivers environmental remediation, habitat mitigation, stream restoration, and land management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open awards with no set-aside designation. The partnership-structured firm is headquartered in Bellaire, Texas, and operates across primary NAICS categories in heavy and civil engineering construction (541620 Environmental Consulting Services, NAICS 237990 for wetland mitigation, and NAICS 561730 landscaping services), with PSC framing centered on housekeeping, landscaping, groundskeeping, and environmental restoration work.

HGS LLC competes predominantly as a prime (85% of recent awards) and serves a diffuse federal customer base anchored by Army Corps of Engineers district offices. The top five customers by potential value account for 95% of combined potential value: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento leads with 3 awards worth $51.8 million, followed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions with a single $50 million award, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Chicago with a $9.5 million award, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth with a $7.2 million award, and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore with 3 awards totaling $5.1 million. Customer concentration by award count is broader — the top five agencies represent only 50% of awards — because the vendor carries numerous small contracts with Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region, the Marine Corps, and the National Park Service.

The two most recent major awards exemplify HGS LLC's capability footprint. In April 2026, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Chicago awarded a $9.5 million firm fixed-price definitive contract for Dutch Gap aquatic ecosystem restoration in Antioch, Illinois, extending through May 2031. In November 2024, the Fort Worth District awarded a $7.2 million design-build contract for the Ham Branch Habitat Mitigation Project in Fort Worth, Texas, encompassing 1,300 linear feet of stream channel modifications, riparian buffer creation, and long-term adaptive management, with Stantec Consulting Services providing design and engineering support and Integrated Environmental Solutions LLC (a women-owned small business) providing tree survey services. A $4.9 million GSA Region 2 definitive contract awarded in September 2023 addresses six acres of wetland mitigation at Rouses Point, New York, extending through December 2030; in fiscal year 2024, this contract invoiced $541 thousand against 0.9 FTEs, generating a derived government-paid rate of $284.81 per hour, with HGS LLC self-performing all labor and engaging Taggart Brown & Associates (HUBZone-certified), Land Remediation Inc., and Aubertine & Currier Architects Engineers & Land Surveyors (EDWOSB) as subcontractors.

HGS LLC holds a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the USDA Forest Service in June 2026, covering professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, and restoration work across the United States through March 2033. The vendor also participates in the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento's $49.9 million Tree Mitigation and Vegetation Clearing MATOC, awarded September 2022 with an ultimate completion date of September 2027; two delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle — a $2,500 landscaping services order in September 2022 and a $1.878 million order in September 2023 for revegetation and erosion control along the Natomas Woodland Corridor in Sacramento, with Environmental Resources Compliance LLC providing archaeological services and River Partners handling weed management and irrigation repairs.

SCI-reported federal services invoicing across three captured contracts totaled $2.9 million over fiscal years 2023 through 2025, with FY2024 invoicing at $541 thousand (0.9 FTEs) and FY2025 invoicing at $2.3 million (1.7 FTEs); on these SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $142.40 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $256.33 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, HGS LLC self-performed 100% of reported hours, reflecting a direct-delivery model with no named subcontractor labor in SCI records. Recent grant work includes a project-grant award from the National Resources Conservation Service in September 2024 for a scalable framework to pay for environmental outcomes (completion September 2026), and a sub-recipient role under an American Rivers Inc. grant funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to remove or progress toward removal of five dams on the Deep River in North Carolina, with HGS LLC responsible for execution, implementation, project management, and construction-related demolition and restoration activities under lead engineer support from Stantec.

Activity has trended flat with minor uptick — one to four awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with two awards in 2026 — and the vendor faces minimal recompete exposure, with only one award totaling $1.9 million scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months.
