About the company
Edward Otter, Inc., doing business as Otter, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Lewes, Delaware, provides Phase 1B archaeological investigations, archival research, and cultural resource assessments to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service Northeast Region.
Otter is structured as a Subchapter S corporation registered as a for-profit organization with DOT Certified DBE designation. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on archaeological field investigations, shovel testing, archival research, and cultural resource compliance assessments supporting NRCS conservation programs on private lands, primarily in Delaware and Maryland. Recent representative work includes a $33 thousand field investigations award issued February 2026, a $16.8 thousand Delaware moratorium approval cultural resources research call from July 2025, an $18 thousand field investigations call from February 2026, and an $8.8 thousand archaeological investigations task order from June 2023, all issued under the parent BPA.
Otter operates with extreme customer concentration: 29 of 30 total awards (100% of combined potential value of $605 thousand) flow from the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service Northeast Region. The vendor holds a single $400 thousand blanket purchase agreement (BPA 12FPC422A0003) awarded June 9, 2022, expiring June 9, 2027, which serves as the parent vehicle for 24 task orders carrying $159 thousand in combined potential value. Individual call orders against the BPA have ranged from $1.4 thousand to $33 thousand, with most carrying no set-aside designation; however, the October 2023 Cedar East Farm archaeological investigation ($5.6 thousand) and the July 2022 cultural resources research call ($5.5 thousand) were designated Total Small Business.
Activity has declined year over year—seven awards in 2022 and 2023 each, six in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026—with only one award ($12 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Otter operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor's work is categorized under Environmental Consulting Services (25 awards) and Historical Sites (4 awards) with PSC coding dominated by Special Studies/Analysis—Archeological/Paleontological services. As of recent source data, Otter has received approximately $202 thousand in combined obligations against its $605 thousand combined potential value, representing 33% draw-down across the portfolio.
