Solv LLC

Solv LLC, doing business as Solv Consulting, LLC, is a small business environmental consulting firm based in McLean, Virginia, that operates as a prime contractor on federal environmental services, regulatory compliance, energy audits, and NEPA and cultural resource management work across 92 distinct customer agencies. The vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open procurements through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and designated indefinite delivery vehicles rather than set-aside categories, though it holds a recent OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ and several total-small-business IDVs with Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, and USDA that anchor significant portions of its portfolio.

Solv's federal footprint is anchored by an $8 billion NOAA ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain IDC (multiple-award, total small business set-aside, awarded March 29, 2024, through September 23, 2029), a $297 million USDA Rural Utilities Service METSS BPA (February 23, 2028), a $108 million Department of Energy environmental consulting BPA (through September 29, 2027), a $49 million Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District Cultural and Environmental Resources Services MATOC (total small business set-aside, through September 21, 2027), and the newly awarded OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (August 13, 2026, through December 18, 2034) with no specified dollar ceiling. Solv also holds a $10 million National Park Service BPA for energy and water audits (through August 18, 2027), an $8.65 million Export-Import Bank NEPA and environmental support BPA (through May 31, 2028), and a $4.4 million NIST single-award BPA for CHIPS environmental consulting (through April 30, 2027). Concrete recent work includes a $9.2 million GSA MAS delivery order for occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and environmental services (ceiling through September 15, 2031), an $18.2 million USDA Rural Utilities Service BPA call for Inflation Reduction Act environmental review support (February 11, 2028), a $6.97 million ICE delivery order for environmental and sustainability services to the Office of Asset and Facilities Management (August 7, 2030), a $2.48 million Department of Energy BPA call for environmental assessment services (February 26, 2027), and a $474 thousand National Park Service delivery order for deer management environmental assessments across five parks (July 28, 2028).

The vendor's customer concentration diverges sharply across award count and dollar value. By award count, the top five agencies (29% coverage) are the Army Corps of Engineers (56 awards, $6.8 million combined potential value), Department of Veterans Affairs (28 awards, $7.1 million), Army (21 awards), National Park Service (17 awards, $474 thousand), and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (13 awards). By potential value (64% of combined portfolio value), NOAA dominates with $8 billion across six awards under the ProTech 2.0 vehicle, followed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($55.7 million across five awards, largely the new OASIS+ IDIQ), Army Corps Engineering District Omaha ($17 million across twelve awards), National Park Service National Office ($15.8 million across eight awards), and NIST ($8.1 million across five awards). The sharp divergence reflects the portfolio's mix of many small task orders against GSA Schedule and regional IDVs combined with a handful of massive government-wide vehicle ceilings (NOAA, OASIS+).

Solv's activity profile shows 461 total awards in the source data spanning 1996 to September 24, 2026, with combined potential value of $12.74 billion but only $92.5 million obligated (1% utilization), indicating heavy reliance on large ceiling values against which relatively modest task orders are being drawn. The recent trajectory shows moderation: four awards in 2026, nine in 2025, four in 2024, five in 2023, and sixteen in 2022. The award mix is dominated by Environmental Consulting Services (302 awards under NAICS 541620), Engineering Services (62 awards), and Support Activities for Forestry (11 awards), with PSC categories concentrated in Special Studies/Analysis–Environmental Assessments (121 awards) and Other Environmental Services (109 awards). Ten awards carrying $24 million combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete.

GSA Multiple Award Schedule remains the dominant parent vehicle by task order volume: 240 task orders against The Professional Services Schedule carrying $136.1 million combined potential value, and 46 task orders against the MAS base with $506.4 million combined potential value. The vendor places work under multiple Army Corps IDVs (35 task orders under DACW6997D0013), NOAA contracts (23 task orders under N6246704D0144, $840 thousand), and a set of regional and agency-specific IDIQs.

Service Contract Inventory data shows $20.3 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across the federal service-contract subset (FY2022–FY2025), ranging from $4.3 million in FY2022 to $5.8 million in FY2024 and FY2025. The SCI dataset captures roughly 13.4 to 21.5 FTEs delivered annually across these years, with FY2024 peaking at 21.5 FTEs and FY2025 moderating to 19.3 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ran a median of $118.08/hr, with the 10th percentile at $107.09/hr and the 90th percentile at $178.29/hr, reflecting a labor mix spanning entry-level environmental technicians through senior professionals and expert consultants. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans seventeen categories priced from $59.35/hr (Environmental Research Technician, high school education) through $268.57/hr (Expert Consultant, twenty years' experience, master's degree), with no security-clearance requirements across the offering.

Solv operates as a 100% prime contractor (461 of 461 awards); it holds no sub-award relationships in the source data. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor self-performs 93% of total contractor hours, with named subcontractors (primarily Paleowest LLC for cultural resource and archaeological services, and occasional engagements with The Public Archaeology Laboratory, ASM Affiliates, Atkins North America, and Northern Land Use Research Alaska for specialized NHPA compliance and cultural resource components) accounting for an average 7% sub-hours share. This posture reflects Solv's model of direct delivery on environmental consulting and NEPA work with selective subcontracting for cultural resource management and archaeological survey components on larger assessments.
