Whitetail Environmental, LLC

Whitetail Environmental, LLC, a Native American-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business based in Jay, Oklahoma, delivers environmental consulting, remediation, compliance, and cultural resource management services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The firm operates primarily under Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) and 8(a) set-aside vehicles, though it also competes full-and-open on defense and Army Corps of Engineers programs. Whitetail Environmental is a Cherokee Nation-based limited liability company with recent contract activity concentrated in environmental site assessments, Phase I and Phase II assessments, environmental management system documentation, PFAS remediation design, cultural resources surveys, and facility maintenance supporting federal installations across the Department of the Interior, Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, and Defense Logistics Agency.

Customer concentration is fragmented across military and civilian agencies but anchored by the Army Corps of Engineers. The top five funding agencies account for 60% of combined potential value: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Tulsa leads with ten awards totaling $35.6 million, followed by the Department of the Army Reserve Command (7 awards, $15.5 million), Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles (8 awards, $14.7 million), the Bureau of Indian Education (9 awards, $12.1 million), and the Installation Management Command Northeast Region (2 awards, $8.5 million). By award count, the top five agencies represent 46% of the total (42 of 91 awards); the gap between volume and dollar concentration reflects the mix of large single-award IDCs with the Corps of Engineers and smaller task orders under BIA and BIE ISBEE vehicles. Whitetail Environmental has served 29 distinct federal agencies across the sourced award history.

The vendor holds three primary IDV vehicles: a $7.35 million ISBEE single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Bureau of Indian Education (ultimate completion January 2027) for environmental consulting services, audits, research, and compliance tools; a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source IDC with Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles (through June 2028) for environmental consulting across NEPA compliance and environmental impact analysis; and a $20 million HUBZone multiple-award IDC with Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Tulsa (through May 2027) for environmental quality, compliance, engineering, assessment, hazardous waste handling, and cultural resources support across the Southwestern Division. The top five parent vehicles in the award portfolio carry 26 task orders with $13.4 million combined potential value. Recent delivery orders exemplify the capability footprint: a $486,393 environmental consulting services order from the Bureau of Indian Education (September 2026), a $958,941 compliance and tiger-team support task order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Los Angeles under the Other Environmental Programs vehicle (September 2025), a $3.7 million PFAS intervention and monthly project management order from Fort Worth District (through September 2026), and a $3.4 million HUBZone cultural resources survey at Wright Patman Lake, Texas under the Corps of Engineers Tulsa IDC (May 2024).

Activity has declined from a peak of ten awards in 2023 to one in 2025 and four in the current year (through September 2026), suggesting pipeline consolidation or a transition among parent vehicles. Five awards with combined potential value of $9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing for service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $2.9 million across FY2022–FY2025, with $1.5 million in FY2024 (6.5 FTEs) and $1.2 million in FY2025 (5.0 FTEs); this subset captures only labor-hour and time-and-materials service contracts and excludes the firm fixed-price delivery orders and goods that constitute most of Whitetail Environmental's federal revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran a median of $107.54/hr, with senior labor pricing to $169.52/hr. Across SCI prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 13% of total hours, with three named subs reported; Whitetail Environmental operates predominantly as a self-performing prime rather than a sub feeder.
