About the company
RPS Group, Inc. RPS Division, doing business as The Geocet Group LLC, provides environmental science consulting, petrophysical analysis, oil spill modeling, and cloud-native data management infrastructure to federal maritime, energy, and ocean observing agencies as a prime contractor (44% of recent awards) and subcontractor (56%) operating as a subsidiary of Tetra Tech, Inc. RPS competes full-and-open across no set-asides and operates without small business designations despite a subsidiary structure within a large global consulting firm.
RPS's capability portfolio centers on petrophysical well-log analysis for offshore energy resource assessment, environmental data services and software (including proprietary oil-spill trajectory modeling tools such as OILMAP), Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS) data server refinements, and cloud-based data management architecture for ocean observing systems. Representative prime work includes a $750,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (awarded July 17, 2024, running through July 4, 2029) for petrophysical analysis services on the Outer Continental Shelf across Alaska and Gulf of Mexico planning areas, with five delivery orders issued to date totaling $199,510; a $1.197 million cooperative agreement (CFDA 11.460) with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) program (awarded September 1, 2021, completed August 31, 2024) for architecting a cloud-native service-based ecosystem for IOOS Data Management and Communications; and a $662,954.85 definitive contract with BOEM (awarded October 21, 2022, completed October 24, 2024) assessing offshore wind energy impacts on oceanographic processes from North Carolina to New York using three-dimensional modeling.
Customer concentration sits heavily with maritime and energy civilian agencies. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard dominates potential value (27 awards, $14.1 million combined potential value), followed by NOAA (71 awards, though with $47 thousand combined potential value, reflecting a high volume of small grant sub-awards), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (8 awards, $1.7 million), the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (3 awards, $2.2 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (3 awards, $818 thousand). The top five customer agencies account for 94% of recent awards. RPS holds positions on multiple Coast Guard IDIQs valued at $4.2 million combined (Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z04420D20002500 with 8 task orders) and $2.6 million (Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG4414DPCC008 with 4 task orders), a $750,000 BOEM petrophysical-analysis IDV, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 9 task orders worth $1.4 million combined potential value.
Activity increased sharply in 2024, reaching 41 awards that year compared to 20 in 2022 and 16 in 2023, with 2025 and 2026 showing only six and two awards respectively in the source snapshot, and three awards (combined potential value $137,000) facing recompete completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported invoicing declined from $820,000 in FY2022 across 2.4 contract-level FTEs to $1.1 million in FY2023 across 2.5 FTEs, with zero invoicing recorded in FY2024, indicating a shift in work profile or portfolio composition change. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $171.64/hour, with senior labor pricing through $219.07/hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, RPS subcontracts an average 17% of total contractor hours to nine named subcontractors, indicating a delivery model that builds core capability in-house while supplementing with focused sub engagement.
RPS operates predominantly as a prime contractor in its direct federal relationships (particularly with Coast Guard and BOEM) but subcontracts to larger primes on NOAA grant work. The source documents extensive sub-award activity below University of Delaware as prime grantee within the IOOS program, where RPS provides cloud infrastructure, data management systems architecture, model dataset management, and applications development for oceanographic data dissemination and the Coastal Ocean Modeling Testbed. RPS also performs as a sub to Industrial Economics Inc. on a natural resource damage assessment task for a pipeline oil-spill incident. Corporate identity as a Tetra Tech subsidiary provides RPS access to its parent's substantial federal contracting footprint while maintaining discrete environmental and oceanographic technical expertise in petrophysical analysis, oil spill modeling, and marine data infrastructure.
