OMI

What OMI does

OMI, Inc. is a privately held, certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) small business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, founded in 1995 by Keith Mandel, P.E. The firm provides geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and construction materials testing (CMT) services to government agencies (local, state, and federal) and private-sector clients across the southeastern United States, with a concentrated focus on North Alabama.

Its three core service lines are: (1) Geotechnical Engineering, encompassing site investigations, pavement design, retaining wall and dam design, slope stability analyses, and advanced geophysical investigations using ground penetrating radar, 2D/3D electrical resistivity imaging, and seismic prospecting; (2) Environmental Consulting, covering Phase I/II/III Environmental Site Assessments, NEPA compliance documentation, NPDES permitting, wetland delineations, hydrogeologic investigations, and remediation; and (3) Construction Materials Testing, delivered through an AASHTO- and CCRL-accredited laboratory with ACI-, NCAT-, ALDOT-, and APNGA-certified technicians. Field capabilities include geotechnical and environmental drilling, and the firm has documented wetland mitigation banking expertise.

OMI generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, with pricing driven by scope, complexity, location, and turnaround; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 11–50 staff across a single Huntsville headquarters. It markets primarily through its company website and LinkedIn/Facebook pages, with no channel partners, resellers, or paid advertising identified. The firm runs a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model, pursuing government and private construction/development opportunities through business development and relationship management. Two product launches in the input data (LnFP cathode battery material, Fusion-Drive UTV) and a manufacturers' representative partnership (Garnett Component Sales) are materially inconsistent with OMI's stated 11–50 employee, single-office, engineering-services profile and are flagged as likely data contamination.
