About the company
AEY Inc., doing business as D A Smith Drilling Co Of Western Co, is a small disadvantaged business based in Grand Junction, Colorado, that delivers geotechnical subsurface drilling and site remediation services to federal transportation and environmental agencies as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and subcontractor to environmental engineering primes. The vendor operates as a Subchapter S corporation under primary NAICS codes for site preparation contracting and remediation services.
Customer concentration is extreme and focused on a single agency. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 10 of 14 awards (93% of award count) and $3.5 million of the $3.5 million combined potential value across all recent awards tracked by the source. The remaining awards split between Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 (3 awards, remediation-scoped) and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (1 award, $34 thousand). Recent capability work as a prime includes a $17,609 firm fixed-price purchase order from FHWA for geotech subsurface drilling on the Bullfrog Creek Bridge project in Beaver, Utah (awarded September 2026, completion January 2027); a $44,672 BPA call for geotechnical and pavement drilling on the Bridges on Delicate Arch Road project in Moab, Utah (July 2023, completed December 2024); and a $51,779 BPA call for subsurface exploration and material sampling near Huntsville, Utah (May 2022, completed October 2022). As a subcontractor, AEY performs drilling services under CDM Federal Programs Corporation on Bonita Peaks Mining District groundwater investigation work (two sub-awards, October 2024 and May 2024) and under HDR Aptim LLC on a Nelson Tunnel interim remedial design task order for the Department of Defense.
AEY sits on three blanket purchase agreements: DTFH6813A00013 (4 task orders, $52 thousand combined potential value) and 6982AF19A000008 (3 task orders, $250 thousand combined potential value), both FHWA BPAs, and the EPA Remedial Acquisition Framework for Design and Engineering Services (3 task orders). Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($18 thousand combined recompete exposure). Service Contract Inventory data captures 1.6 FTEs in FY2024 and 0.0 FTEs in FY2025 on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, reflecting the vendor's subsurface-drilling and project-scoped contract profile rather than ongoing managed-services delivery. Combined potential value across all fifteen tracked awards stands at $3.5 million, with $1.9 million obligated to date (54%).
