Metropolitan Solutions

What Metropolitan Solutions does

Metropolitan Solutions Group, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led environmental and occupational health consulting firm founded circa 1994 and headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia. The company operates four integrated service divisions: Environmental Engineering (Phase I/II assessments and risk consulting for commercial property lenders), Environmental Laboratory Testing (organic and inorganic analysis of air, water, oil, and solids with same-day, rush, and urgent turnaround options), Safety and Environmental Training (OSHA-authorized courses covering maritime, construction, and general industry plus asbestos, lead, HAZWOPER, and mold certifications), and Occupational Health Services (digital quantitative respirator fit testing, medical evaluation questionnaires, pulmonary function tests, drug screens, vision, and audiograms). Laboratories and training facilities are co-located in three offices strategically positioned near U.S. naval fleet concentration areas — Portsmouth VA, National City CA, and Bremerton WA — and the firm was the first organization authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor to deliver regulated OSHA training via two-way video instruction.

The firm generates revenue primarily through professional-services fees: per-seat course fees for training (ranging from $55 for short 2-hour courses to $650 for 40-hour supervisor courses), per-sample or per-test fees for environmental laboratory analysis, and per-employee fees for respirator fit testing and medical evaluations with group pricing for organizations of 5 to 5,000+ employees. Distribution combines in-person delivery at the three physical sites, nationwide virtual training via DOL-authorized two-way video, on-site occupational health services at client facilities, and laboratory sample drop-off across all three lab locations with 7 AM openings.

Customers span U.S. Navy ship repair contractors, federal agencies including the U.S. Department of State, law firms (expert witness), commercial property lenders, private contractors, consulting firms, healthcare facilities, and teaching institutions. The company is led by President & CEO David Spinazzolo, who has 35 years of laboratory testing experience and was selected by the EPA as one of 24 industry professionals to develop the original AHERA asbestos regulations. The firm operates without disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or public filings, and is supported by a network of local inspectors, laboratories, and training partners across the United States.
