Frequently Asked Questions About Federal Contracting EHS Services

How do I verify your SDVOSB status?

We are certified through the SBA VetCert program, which is the official verification system for veteran-owned businesses. We can provide our VetCert letter and SAM.gov registration documentation for your subcontracting plan.

What is an SSHO and when is one required?

A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) is required by EM 385-1-1 Section 01 on all USACE construction projects.

Do your safety professionals have security clearances?

Our team includes professionals with current or previous Secret clearances. For projects requiring clearances, we work with your security office to initiate the clearance process and can deploy cleared personnel or coordinate interim access while clearances are processed. We are experienced with the JPAS/DISS clearance verification systems.

How quickly can you mobilize for a federal project?

For projects at installations where we have existing site access, mobilization can occur within 3-5 business days. For new installations requiring badging and security processing, we typically need 2-3 weeks for access coordination. Emergency mobilization with expedited security processing may be possible depending on installation security office capacity.

What documentation do you provide for small business subcontracting plans?

We provide: (1) SAM.gov registration documentation showing active SDVOSB status, (2) SBA VetCert certification letter, (3) Letter of commitment detailing our scope and estimated contract value, (4) Capability statement showing past federal performance, (5) Proof of insurance meeting FAR requirements. All documentation is ready for incorporation into your subcontracting plan.

Do you work on NAVFAC and Air Force projects, or only USACE?

We support all military branches and federal agencies. While EM 385-1-1 is specific to USACE, we are also trained in Navy safety instructions (OPNAV, NAVSEA), Air Force safety requirements (AFOSH standards), and general OSHA construction regulations. Our team adapts to each agency’s specific safety requirements.

Can you serve as prime contractor on SDVOSB set-aside contracts?

Yes. As a verified SDVOSB, we are eligible to compete for SDVOSB set-aside contracts and can serve as prime contractor on federal safety and environmental services projects. We also partner with other SDVOSBs and small businesses on joint venture opportunities for larger federal contracts.

What federal contract vehicles or IDIQs are you on?

While we primarily work as subcontractors to prime contractors, we maintain active SAM.gov registration with all required NAICS codes for safety consulting (541620, 541690). We are available for task orders under prime contractor IDIQs and can be added to contract vehicles as needed for SDVOSB participation requirements.
