Kemron Environmental Services, Inc.

Kemron Environmental Services, Inc., an Atlanta-based small business specializing in environmental remediation, hazardous waste management, and emergency response, operates predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) on federal environmental cleanup and munitions response work, competing almost entirely under total small business set-asides. The company holds a $5.63 billion combined potential-value portfolio across 459 awards spanning 46 distinct federal agencies, with 12% of that value obligated, reflecting the typical funding cadence of large remediation IDIQs where work releases incrementally through task orders.

Kemron's customer concentration is dominated by environmental and military agencies. The top five funding sources account for 78% of combined potential value: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville leads with 13 awards valued at $2.23 billion (anchored by the $960 million Environmental and Munitions Response-Restricted Services Support (EMR2) IDIQ awarded October 30, 2024, designated as a total small business set-aside running through April 30, 2035); the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District holds 21 awards worth $846 million; EPA Region 4 carries 58 awards totaling $496.6 million; Army Installation Management Command Headquarters accounts for 20 awards valued at $485.9 million; and EPA Region 2 represents 106 awards worth $318.7 million. By award count, EPA Region 2 is the highest-volume customer (106 awards, 60% of top-customer awards), but the dollar concentration points to Army Corps environmental remediation work as the strategic core. Recent concrete task orders include a $1.29 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army Corps for environmental remediation across Culebra, Desecheo Island, and Puerto Rico Bombing Range under the EMR2 IDIQ (June 30, 2026), a $27.9 million delivery order for the Old American Zinc Facility Area in East St. Louis under the Pre-placed Remedial Action Contracts IDIQ (November 30, 2023, with $1.9 million invoiced in FY2024 across 18,394 contractor hours and three subcontractors), an $11 million ceiling delivery order from EPA Region 4 for time-critical removal at the American Nuclear Corporation site in Clinton, Tennessee (November 3, 2023, with $2.25 million FY2025 invoicing and six subcontractors covering 62% of contractor hours), and a $41.97 million delivery order for the Mississippi Phosphate Site Water Treatment System in Pascagoula, Mississippi under ERRS V (December 17, 2021, with $20.9 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2025 and minimal subcontracting).

Kemron's vehicle position centers on multiple EPA emergency-response IDIQs and Army Corps environmental IDIQs. The top parent vehicles by task-order volume include Indefinite Delivery Contract EPS21001 (79 task orders, $42.7 million combined potential value), Emergency Rapid Response Services IV (38 task orders, $102.7 million), Emergency Rapid Response Services (35 task orders, $29.2 million), Region 2 Emergency Rapid Response Services (29 task orders, $20.9 million), and Emergency Rapid Response Services Planning PR (27 task orders, $27.8 million). Kemron also holds single-award positions on several Army Corps entities, including the $88.125 million Pre-placed Remedial Action Contracts IDIQ for USACE Mississippi Valley Division and EPA Regions 5 and 7 (August 19, 2022, through August 18, 2027, total small business set-aside) and a $49 million multiple-award NAVFAC Southeast Environmental Multiple Award Contract with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (May 27, 2025, through March 12, 2030, partial small business set-aside). The company also recently secured a $500 million Multiple Award Environmental Services (MAES) MATOC with the Army Corps Baltimore District (August 28, 2025, through August 27, 2030, partial small business set-aside), expanding capacity for North Atlantic Division remediation work.

Activity trajectory shows volatility but overall growth: 12 awards in 2022, dropping to 10 in 2023, recovering to 11 in 2024, climbing to 14 in 2025, with only 3 awards recorded through August 2026 (reflecting a partial-year snapshot). Twenty-two awards totaling $106 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on a significant slice of active work. SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $40.9 million from FY2022 through FY2025 ($3.6 million in FY2022, $13.6 million in FY2023, $17.5 million in FY2024, and $6.2 million in FY2025), with the SCI dataset reflecting only a portion of Kemron's total federal services activity and excluding goods, products, and non-SCI-reportable contracts. The FTE footprint shown in SCI records peaked at 76.5 FTEs in FY2024 before moderating to 60.1 FTEs in FY2025, driven by the large remediation sites under active invoice.

Kemron operates with a blended prime-to-subcontractor delivery model: across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for approximately 8% of contractor hours, with 48 named subcontractors engaged over the reporting period. On high-intensity remedial-action sites such as the American Nuclear Corporation work, subcontractor share has risen to 52–62% of labor hours, particularly for treatability studies, bench-scale testing, and design support. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts run a median of $73.85 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $30.05 per hour and the 90th percentile at $228.53 per hour, consistent with a mixed workforce spanning field labor, site supervisors, engineers, and project management. Named subcontractors on recent work include Tetra Tech, Inc. (bench-scale treatability study work on the Emmells Septic Landfill Superfund Site under a Tetra Tech prime, April 23, 2025) and EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC (remedial design and remedial action oversight at the Marion Pressure Treating Company site in Louisiana, March 8 and April 21, 2023). Kemron self-performs the majority of field remediation and site assessment work, engaging specialists for laboratory testing, design engineering, and compliance support. The company competes almost exclusively under total small business set-asides across EPA and Army Corps work; a small number of awards carry no set-aside designation or partial small business designations on newer MATOC vehicles, signaling gradual expansion into competitive and mixed competition as the company's contract footprint grows.
