Richard Grubb And Associates, Inc.

Richard Grubb And Associates, Inc., doing business as RGA, Inc., is a Women-Owned Small Business based in Cranbury, New Jersey, that delivers archaeological surveys, historic preservation assessments, and cultural resource compliance services to federal land and resource agencies as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides. The firm specializes in Phase IA/IB/II archaeological investigations, National Register of Historic Places eligibility determinations, preventative conservation planning, and environmental-historic preservation compliance support across the eastern United States, with work anchored to the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior.

RGA's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward forestry and natural resource conservation. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 77% of recent awards: the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Northeast Region (26 awards, $672 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 (25 awards, $1.7 million), the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region (23 awards, $9.6 million), the Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region (8 awards, $388 thousand), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (8 awards). Ranked by potential value, the Forest Service Eastern Region dominates at $9.6 million across 23 awards, followed by the Forest Service national portfolio at $3.2 million and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 at $1.7 million. Recent prime work includes a $358,018.50 Total Small Business delivery order from the Forest Service on October 1, 2026, for a ten-county cultural resource survey on the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia through August 31, 2027, funded under combined GAOA, IIJA, and IRA authorities; a $94,671.50 contract with the National Park Service for a preventative conservation plan at Vicksburg National Military Park (February 2022); and a $141,387.39 historic survey of buildings at the Manchester Veterans Administration Medical Center (January 2022). Place of performance spans the eastern United States, with heavy concentration in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the Northeast.

RGA holds three active indefinite-delivery vehicles as a prime. A multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by the Forest Service on September 10, 2026, carries a $2.559 million ceiling through August 31, 2031, funded under GAOA/IIJA/BIL/IRA for cultural resource surveys across a ten-county West Virginia area; work requires contractor personnel to hold graduate degrees in archaeology or related fields plus one year of full-time professional experience and four months of supervised field experience in North American archaeology per National Park Service standards. A single-award $900,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Eastern Region (issued February 2023, active through February 2028) provides historic preservation services across multiple locations. A $250,000 single-award BPA with USDA NRCS Northeast Region (issued June 2023, active through May 2028) covers Phase IA/IB/II archaeological investigations leveraging RGA's GSA Multiple Award Schedule. RGA places 42 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($1.2 million combined potential value) and maintains positions on agency-specific IDIQs with the Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service, with 13 task orders on one IDIQ and 9 on another generating $730 thousand and $276 thousand respectively.

Activity has remained modest but consistent over the past five years — three awards in 2022, ten in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 to date. Only three awards (combined potential value $619 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. RGA's subcontractor footprint is small; across nine SCI-reportable records from FY2022–FY2025, the firm delivered roughly 2.2 FTEs at peak (FY2024) to CDM Federal Programs Corporation on environmental and historic preservation support work for the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program and FEMA regions, with roles in archaeological consulting, historical resource services, and compliance consulting. GSA Schedule labor rates span $50.62/hr for research assistants through $210.99/hr for quality-assurance directors, with core archaeological and historian roles priced at $70–$120/hr for bachelor's and master's-level staff; no security-cleared labor categories are offered. RGA's work is classified under NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) for 53 awards and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) for 46 awards, with PSC coding predominantly B503 (Special Studies/Analysis—Archeological/Paleontological) across 55 awards.
