Lewis Environmental LLC

Lewis Environmental LLC, a for-profit environmental remediation and emergency response services provider headquartered in Royersford, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering specialized disposal, decontamination, and composting services to federal agencies managing disease outbreak response and pollution mitigation. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open solicitations with no SBA set-aside certifications; however, several awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, indicating the vendor qualifies as a small business under federal classification.

Customer concentration is acute and bifurcated by dollar value. The top five funding agencies account for 96% of recent awards by count, but the distribution splits sharply between volume and dollars. The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services (APHIS-VS) leads in award count with 65 awards valued at $8.2 million combined, driven by recurring High-Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) response work since 2021. By contrast, the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard ranks second by count (28 awards) but dominates potential value at $14.2 million, anchored by a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) worth $3.99 million established in February 2024 through February 2028. The Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of the Treasury round out the active set with minor dollar exposure. This divergence signals APHIS-VS drives volume through time-sensitive small purchase orders (many under $100,000), while Coast Guard work concentrates in larger standing agreements for oil spill and hazardous materials response.

Lewis Environmental's capability portfolio centers on disease outbreak response and environmental remediation. On the APHIS side, representative work includes a $536,383 firm fixed-price order for compost windrow services at Seven Springs, North Carolina (February 2024), a $303,190 contract to build indoor compost windrows (April 2024), a $348,765 order for compost build and decontamination in Columbia, Pennsylvania (March 2026), and dozens of smaller dumpster and disposal orders ranging from $1,875 to $74,010 across New York and Pennsylvania facilities. These contracts involve bird carcass disposal, compost windrow construction and turnover, decontamination line operations, and waste transport to designated landfills in support of APHIS containment efforts. On the Coast Guard side, the $3.99 million BOA (70Z08420GP0006800) generates delivery orders for labor, materials, and equipment to mitigate oil spills and hazardous chemical incidents in navigable waterways across the Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington D.C.) under Federal On-Scene Coordinator direction, with individual delivery orders ranging from $1,341 to $27,122 and employing time-and-materials pricing.

Activity has been volatile. Awards peaked at 25 in 2022 during the acute phase of HPAI response, dropped to 8 in 2024 as outbreak pressure eased, then surged to 23 in 2025 as APHIS renewed disposal contracts. The most recent 11 awards in 2026 reflect continued engagement with APHIS-VS. Combined potential value across all 112 awards sits at $23.4 million, with $11.7 million (50%) obligated to date. The vendor operates a lean subcontracting footprint: SCI-reportable data shows zero invoiced FTEs in FY2022 and FY2024, and the two recent sub-awards (both October 2025 and May 2025 under CDM Federal Programs Corporation on the Moyers Landfill Superfund site) represent waste hauling work, not primary service delivery. The prime-vs-sub split (98% prime) and zero sub-hours share on SCI records indicate Lewis Environmental builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractor labor; the company functions as a small business operator feeding specialized niche work to larger environmental services primes only incidentally.

The vendor's vehicle position is concentrated. The $3.99 million Coast Guard BOA (single award, through February 2028) generates the largest dollar pipeline and represents rapid-mobilization capacity for pollution response. Twelve delivery orders have been issued against this vehicle since February 2024, with combined potential value of $2.1 million. Smaller BOAs with APHIS and other agencies carry the remainder of work. No GWACs, GSA schedules, or government-wide IDIQs appear in the source; all work flows through agency-specific or single-award vehicles.

The source carries no recompete-cliff data. However, the portfolio structure suggests material exposure: the large 2022–2023 HPAI response contracts (several in the $200,000–$900,000 range) are now closed or closing, and renewal depends on APHIS continuing to source small business set-aside disposal work at current scale. The Coast Guard BOA, stable through 2028, provides a counterbalance. Set-aside posture varies by customer—APHIS work frequently carries Total Small Business designations, while Coast Guard delivery orders predominantly use full-and-open (no set-aside), positioning Lewis Environmental as a responsive small business to APHIS and a competitive prime to Coast Guard on pollution response.
