United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is SEBAC's 2022 Award for Excellence Winner

ATLANTA - Oct. 18, 2022 - PRLog -- The Small Environmental Business Action Coalition (SEBAC) is pleased to announce the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as the recipient of the 2022 Award for Excellence. SEBAC presents the award to recognize a Federal agency's demonstrated commitment to small environmental business.

Procurement data researched by FEDMINE.US specific to North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) codes 562910 and 541620 was evaluated based on the number and quality of agency procurements and the agency's overall commitment to small businesses. These data were used as a component in determining the recipient of the Award for Excellence along with a pre-established set of criteria which includes three key components:

• The agency's ability to meet or exceed fiscal year projected goals;
• The agency's quality and quantity of small business awards; and
• The agency's progress towards improvement in attaining goals (percentage increase and/or proven improvement).

"We are pleased to recognize USACE for its strong support of small environmental businesses as demonstrated by the quantity and quality of small business prime contracts," said SEBAC President John Dwyer.

In the federal government's fiscal year 2022, USACE far exceeded the Small Business Administration's statutory goal of 23% by awarding 79% of prime contractor dollars in NAICS codes 562910 and 541620 to small businesses. SEBAC recognizes USACE for acknowledging the strength of the environmental small business community by setting aside major contracts, such as single award and multiple award environmental compliance and remedial action contracts.

SEBAC President, John Dwyer, and Monica Cooper, Award for Excellence Chairperson, will present the Award during SEBAC's Networking Reception and Award Presentation during the Society of American Military Engineers Small Business Conference at Music City Center in Nashville, TN on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at 6:30 PM in Room 207AB. LTG Scott A. Spellmon (Commanding General, USACE) or MG Kimberly Colloton (Directorate Commanding General of Military Programs) will be present to accept the award on behalf of USACE.

Sponsors of the Networking Reception are ATI, Inc., Bluestone Environmental Group, Inc., Environmental Research Group LLC, Hana Engineers and Consultants LLC, KEMRON Environmental Services, Inc., KOMAN Family of Companies, Leisnoi Diversified Services LLC, NOREAS, Inc., Renova Environmental Company, SC&A, Inc. and Sundance Consulting, Inc.  Smith Manus Surety Bonds, an agency specializing in environmental, construction, and specialty bonds for all industries, is the major sponsor of the Networking Reception and the Award for Excellence.
