Pare Corp

Pare Corp, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Lincoln, Rhode Island, delivers architectural, engineering, and environmental consulting services focused on water resource management, watershed planning, and infrastructure assessments to the federal government as a prime contractor (98% of awards). The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its USDA NRCS prime work, with the remainder split between full-and-open and set-aside orders.

Pare Corp's customer footprint is almost entirely concentrated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. The top five funding sources account for 91% of awards; USDA NRCS Northeast Region alone anchors 29 awards valued at $15.5 million combined potential value, while three USDA NRCS corporate-level awards carry $30 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy accounts for 14 awards but carries no published dollar value. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England and the U.S. Coast Guard each account for single-digit awards. This concentration reflects Pare Corp's specialization in NRCS water resource programs and places the vendor almost entirely within a single customer agency and mission set.

Pare Corp holds a $20 million single-award IDIQ with USDA NRCS for architect and engineering services in Region 1 (Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, New Hampshire, and New Jersey), awarded November 2023 and running through November 2028 under a total small business set-aside. This vehicle anchors most recent activity; 17 task orders under the IDIQ carry $7.1 million in combined potential value. Pare Corp also executes work under the National A-E Design Services 2018-2023 IDIQ (14 task orders, $8.4 million combined potential value) and holds positions on three Navy IDIQs (IDCs N6247290D1805, N6247282C1098, and N6247299D6961), though Navy work carries minimal or no published dollar values in the source.

Recent representative work under the current NRCS IDIQ includes a $259,912.73 delivery order (September 2026) for grade stabilization structure design and drawings in New Jersey, a $913,064.01 order (September 2026) for watershed rehabilitation engineering design at Conewango Creek in New York, a $2.32 million order (September 2024) for Assunpink Creek watershed rehabilitation supplemental planning in New Jersey, and an $827,228.75 order (June 2024) for Allen Dam rehabilitation design in Massachusetts. Earlier work under the National A-E Design Services IDIQ included a $1.12 million order (April 2023) for Violette Brook Dam watershed planning in Maine and a $970,421.19 order (September 2022) for Pocatalico River dam rehabilitation planning in West Virginia.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to ten in 2024, then moderating to four awards in 2025 and three in 2026 (through late September). Thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $12.2 million, representing near-term recompete exposure. The vendor obligated $16.2 million (36% of combined potential value) across all awards to date.

SCI-reported invoicing across USDA service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $4 million from FY2022 through FY2024, delivered by an average of 2.4 FTEs annually. FY2024 invoicing ran $1.5 million across 1.8 FTEs; FY2023 peaked at $2.1 million across 4.1 FTEs. Pare Corp self-performs approximately 78% of labor on SCI-reportable prime contracts, with an average sub-hours share of 22% across 15 named subcontractors. Median government-paid rates on SCI contracts run around $156.82 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile of $292.83 per hour and entry-level work at the 10th percentile of $60.83 per hour. Pare Corp is not named as a subcontractor in the SCI dataset and operates as a sub to one federal grant recipient (a June 2025 sub-award on emergency action plan mapping for the National Dam Safety Program). The vendor's prime-heavy posture and tight customer concentration reflect its position as a specialized NRCS consultant rather than a broad federal services provider.
