Normandeau Associates, Inc.

Normandeau Associates, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire, operates as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) delivering environmental consulting, ecological monitoring, biological field sampling, and dredged material assessment services to federal agencies under full-and-open competition and Total Small Business set-asides. The firm competes predominantly in open federal procurements rather than under formal SBA certifications; across a seventy-seven-award footprint spanning 1996 to September 2026, Total Small Business designations anchor a subset of awards with the National Park Service and Army Corps of Engineers, while the majority of higher-dollar work flows through unrestricted vehicles and delivery orders.

Customer concentration is anchored by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers but distributed across defense and Interior. The top five customers by potential value account for 95% of combined potential value: the Army Corps of Engineers Walla Walla District alone represents $62.6 million across six awards, reflecting large-scale environmental assessment and dredged material management programs; the Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (nine awards, $20 million) drives Interior volume; the Army Corps of Engineers New England District (ten awards, $8.5 million) delivers dredged material suitability determinations and disposal-area monitoring work; the Army Corps of Engineers Portland District (six awards, $3 million) contributes regional navigation project support; and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (two awards, $1.4 million) issues task orders against Normandeau's Federal Supply Schedule contract. By award count, the New England District ranks first with ten awards, followed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management with nine, reflecting Normandeau's established capability in Northeast navigation project and offshore resource-area monitoring work.

Normandeau holds a $6 million single-award small-business IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers New England District through August 2029 for environmental monitoring and sampling services across the Northeastern United States and adjacent waters, plus a recent $1.918 million multiple-award BPA with the Engineer Research and Development Center (September 2025–September 2030) covering biological sampling, macroinvertebrate analysis, seabird and bat surveys, freshwater mussel assessment, and disposal-area ecological monitoring. A $100,000 single-award National Park Service Midwest Region BPA (through April 2028) funds macroinvertebrate sampling in Wisconsin. Normandeau carries a $1.4 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule (MAS) contract through January 2028 with twenty-eight labor categories spanning field technician ($38.58/hr, high school education) through Senior Associate II ($330.30/hr, Master's degree, fifteen years' experience), with no security-cleared roles. The portfolio includes technician, data specialist, GIS specialist, and senior principal scientist categories at rates ranging from $66 to $186 per hour for mid-level staff. Recent MAS task orders include a $247,162.85 delivery order from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (June 2023) for high-resolution aerial seabird surveys at Kaula Island, Hawaii, and two $102,793.92 and $7,800 Fish and Wildlife Service orders (September 2024) for bat acoustic surveys and NABat analytical support in Massachusetts.

Activity shows modest growth: one award in 2021, five in 2023, six in 2024, eight in 2025, and six in 2026 year-to-date, with a combined potential value of $100.9 million and $36.5 million obligated. Ten awards (combined potential value $2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing limited near-term recompete exposure. Award categories concentrate in environmental consulting (41 awards), research and development in physical engineering and life sciences (14 awards), and testing laboratories (7 awards), with PSC concentration in other environmental services (25 awards), special studies–animal/fisheries (16 awards), and water-quality analysis (6 awards). The firm operates predominantly as a prime with its own delivery teams; SCI data capture is minimal (0.3 FTEs across two 2022 records), reflecting the majority of Normandeau's work falling below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. Named subcontract relationships include freshwater mussel collection services under AECOM Technical Services on a Lower Neponset River remedial design project (April 2024) and a sub-award under Wildlife Management Institute for NABat survey and bat research administration (June 2026).

Normandeau also holds a cooperative agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (awarded March 2026, completing March 2027) for Caribbean vulnerability assessment of 140 bird species crossing Caribbean waters, producing indices for large-scale marine spatial planning. Federal grant sub-recipient work includes a Hudson River Foundation monitoring plan for biogenic rock reefs (July 2025).

Normandeau Associates is a science-based environmental consulting firm that has completed hundreds of projects nationwide that require environmental assessments, impact statements, and specialized environmental studies for many Federal and state agencies.
