The Ottery Group, Inc.

The Ottery Group, Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Silver Spring, Maryland, delivers archaeological surveys, cultural resource management, and historic preservation compliance services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor under GSA Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with approximately 53% of named awards carrying small-business designations across both full-and-open and set-aside task orders.

The Ottery Group's capability portfolio centers on Phase I and Phase II archaeological surveys, archaeological monitoring and testing, geophysical surveys, and National Historic Preservation Act and National Environmental Policy Act compliance documentation. Representative work includes a $308,189.88 delivery order from the National Park Service National Office for archaeological monitoring at multiple sites (awarded April 2024, completion August 2026), a $206,848.62 delivery order from NPS for archaeological evaluation and monitoring supporting campground rehabilitation at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State (awarded March 2026, completion September 2026), and a $198,854.36 delivery order from the Department of Energy's Southeastern Power Administration for Phase 1 archaeological surveys along transmission line structures in Arkansas (awarded August 2025, completion June 2026). The vendor also holds a recently awarded $500,000 single-award BPA with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Delaware office (awarded March 2026, completion March 2027) for cultural resources services across the Northeast Region.

Customer concentration sits with the Department of the Interior's National Park Service National Office, which accounts for 11 awards worth $1.6 million (32% of the combined potential value) across 49 total awards. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value account for 73% of the portfolio: NPS National Office ($1.6 million), USDA NRCS Northeast Region ($624 thousand), DOE Southeastern Power Administration ($569 thousand), Army Installation Management Command Headquarters ($459 thousand), and NPS Northeast Region ($457 thousand). The vendor performs work across multiple regions nationwide, with place-of-performance locations spanning Washington State, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Maryland, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia.

GSA Schedule labor rates span $27.93 to $84.79 per hour across twelve active categories, with entry-level Archeological Technicians at the low end ($27.93/hour, bachelor's degree, one year experience) and Principal Investigators at the high end ($84.79/hour, master's degree, fifteen years experience). No security-cleared positions are offered. The portfolio reflects the vendor's specialization in non-classified cultural resource work for natural resource management, historic site preservation, and infrastructure compliance contexts.

Activity has fluctuated considerably in recent years—eleven awards in 2023, declining to four in 2024, then three each in 2025 and 2026 year-to-date. Of the 49 total awards in the source, only two (combined potential value $198 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor holds two parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (36 task orders, $3.3 million combined potential value) and an Army IDC (W9124710D0029, two task orders, $459 thousand combined potential value). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $3.6 million against $5 million in combined potential value, reflecting 72% execution rate across the portfolio.
