SES Group & Associates, LLC

SES Group & Associates, LLC, a small-business subsidiary of Agr, LLC (Advanced Global Resources, LLC) based in Plano, Texas, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing infrastructure materials laboratory support services to the Federal Highway Administration under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds a position on the Infrastructure Materials Laboratories (IML) Support Services IDIQ awarded in January 2023 and derives 100% of its federal award activity from FHWA across a single customer agency.

SES Group & Associates specializes in concrete laboratory support, asphalt binder and mixture analysis, chemistry laboratory services, and coatings and corrosion testing — capabilities anchored in the vendor's role supporting FHWA's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia, and six distributed infrastructure materials laboratories across the country. Work is performed at multiple locations including New Braunfels, Texas; Irving, Texas; McLean, Virginia; and Chesapeake City, Maryland. Recent delivery orders under the IML IDIQ include a $5.015 million Asphalt Binder and Mixtures Laboratory support order awarded June 1, 2026, running through December 1, 2027 (cost-plus-fixed-fee); a $4.745 million Concrete Laboratory support order awarded the same date, extending through December 1, 2028 (firm fixed price); a $4.12 million Chemistry Laboratory support order also awarded June 1, 2026, running through November 30, 2028 (firm fixed price); and a $1.786 million Coatings and Corrosion Laboratory support order awarded June 1, 2026, extending through December 1, 2028 (cost-plus-fixed-fee). Combined potential value across all 45 awards in source data is $200.4 million, with $85.4 million obligated to date (43% realization).

The vendor's contract vehicle footprint centers on the IML IDIQ, which carries six task orders valued at $20.6 million combined potential value. Three additional parent IDIQs — DTFH6117D00017, DTFH6113D00007, and DTFH6108D00001 — account for 35 task orders carrying $46.6 million combined potential value. Activity shows irregular distribution across the source window, with eleven awards in 2017 and single or low-volume years thereafter; the recent June 2026 batch of four orders marks the most concentrated activity in several years. Only two awards (combined potential value $5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates with estimated staffing of two to ten employees per laboratory area and competes exclusively under total small business set-asides; no subcontract or joint-venture activity appears in the source data.

Provides professional services in Civil Engineering research, design, testing and inspection; Laboratory services; and Office Administrative Services.
