Rhea - GPI JV

Rhea - GPI JV, a woman-owned small business joint venture based in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, provides professional land surveying, geospatial analysis, and infrastructure engineering services to federal land management and conservation agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open contracts. The joint venture is a child entity of Rhea Engineers & Consultants, Inc., a woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a Subchapter S corporation that also holds DOT Certified DBE status.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Interior and Army civil works missions. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters dominates the potential-value ranking with two awards valued at $75 million combined (two MATOC vehicles for architectural-engineering and geotechnical services running through 2027), while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leads by award count with ten delivery orders totaling $36.2 million in potential value. The Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Northeast Region has placed six awards ($6.2 million combined potential value) for Agricultural Conservation Easement Program boundary surveys across Maryland and Delaware, with a seventh award to NRCS Southeast Region ($5 million). The Department of the Interior National Park Service accounts for one award ($500 thousand) for Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park boundary surveys. Together, these five agencies represent 91% of awards and 100% of combined potential value.

Rhea - GPI JV holds position on five named indefinite delivery contracts. The $35 million geospatial services IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers (W9123722D0007, running through May 2027 under a total small business set-aside) has generated ten delivery orders totaling approximately $1.2 million in obligated value since award in May 2022, including reservoir structural deformation surveys at dam structures in Pennsylvania and Ohio, Manistique Breakwater surveys in Michigan, and monitoring surveys at Hannibal Locks and Dams in West Virginia. The $50 million MATOC for architectural and engineering services with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (running through September 2027) supports boundary surveys, topographic mapping, and monitoring across Interior and Forest Service properties. NRCS awarded three separate indefinite delivery contracts: a $3 million single-award vehicle for professional land surveying in Delaware (running through June 2027) under which Rhea has issued four delivery orders for easement boundary surveys since August 2025, a $3 million multiple-award contract for Maryland services (running through June 2027), and a $5 million multiple-award contract for Kentucky services (running through September 2026). Task orders under these NRCS vehicles range from $34.7 thousand to $61.6 thousand for individual easement boundary surveys.

Capability work spans boundary and tract surveying, topographic and hydrographic surveys, aerial and terrestrial lidar collection, three-dimensional modeling, GIS database design, and subsurface utility engineering across federal properties supporting Section 202 affordable housing, water resource management, conservation easements, and infrastructure monitoring. Recent representative delivery orders include a $35.5 thousand reservoir structural deformation survey at three Pennsylvania and Ohio dams for the Army Corps of Engineers' ENDIST Pittsburgh (June 2025), a $499.5 thousand firm fixed-price contract with the National Park Service for approximately 44,300 linear feet of boundary surveys within Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park (September 2023), and multiple sub-$100 thousand easement boundary surveys for NRCS in Delaware (January and August 2025).

Activity has declined slightly from a six-award baseline in 2022 to three awards in 2026, with five awards in 2025 representing the only recent uptick. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months (a $12 thousand guaranteed base-year amount for Army Corps services expiring May 2027), indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The award portfolio is heavily skewed toward NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services, excluding Geophysical) with 19 of 22 awards, and Rhea competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across NRCS and partial Interior work, with no set-aside designation on most Army Corps delivery orders.
