Ebbert & Associates

What Ebbert & Associates does

Ebbert & Associates is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded in 2008 by retired U.S. Marine Colonel Terry J. Ebbert and headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana. The firm provides consulting, planning, training, and education services across the emergency preparedness and disaster management lifecycle, with deep specializations in FEMA CPG 101 compliant Emergency Operations Plans, NIMS/ICS training, HSEEP-compliant exercise programs, counter-terrorism and active-shooter training, pipeline and critical infrastructure security, and on-call Emergency Operations Center augmentation. Its service portfolio is structured around five interconnected offerings: Consulting, Planning, Education & Training, Products & Services (including low-voltage security system installation and interoperability communications), and Response Augmentation, with Planning & Technology Solutions layered on top to provide database management and simulated training support.

The firm sells primarily through federal and state/local government direct contracting, leveraging its SDVOSB certification and Louisiana state set-aside credentials (Hudson Initiative, SEBD, SE(VI)), with supplemental go-to-market through subcontracting to large federal integrators such as Booz Allen Hamilton and teaming with EOR on US Southern Command MATOC work. It also delivers training internationally through the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security Antiterrorism Assistance Program, serving foreign government delegations across the Middle East, Africa, South/Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean. The competitive position rests on the leadership team's real-world incident command credentials (notably the Hurricane Katrina response), industry-recognized certifications (CEM, LEM, CCM, CISM), and a reusable curriculum/plan library developed across engagements since 2003.

The company operates with 1-10 employees and has not disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or growth metrics. Customer concentration is high by nature of the small team and episodic, event-driven demand (Super Bowl XLVII, Papal Visit 2015, Deepwater Horizon, individual transit authority engagements, school district work), with a heavy orientation toward U.S. government buyers (FEMA, DHS, DOS, transit authorities, school systems) and a smaller but symbolically important international training channel.
