Brice Engineering

What Brice Engineering does

Brice Engineering is a privately held, ANC 8(a)-certified environmental engineering, consulting, and construction firm headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, with additional offices in Fairbanks, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Grand Junction, and Portland. Founded in 1961 as Brice Inc. and now operating as part of the Calista Brice Holding Line of Companies under parent Calista Corporation (an Alaska Native Corporation established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971), Brice sells exclusively into federal customers, with the U.S. Department of Defense and its components — U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, AFCEC, DLA, and the U.S. Army Environmental Command — constituting the primary client base, supplemented by BLM and FEMA work. ANC 8(a) status confers sole-source contract eligibility of virtually unlimited value, non-protestable awards under 13 CFR 124.517(a), and exposure to the 5% DoD Native Incentive subcontracting rebate, materially shaping its go-to-market.

The firm's delivery model is a vertically integrated, single-point-of-contact approach combining engineering (environmental, structural, geotechnical, mechanical, surveying, permitting, geospatial), environmental consulting (NEPA, remedial investigation, cultural resources, emergency response), construction (design-build, vertical/civil, fire protection, HVAC, security), UAS-based aerial imaging using Micro Four Thirds sensors with centimeter pixel resolution, and a PFAS services line anchored by patented soil washing technology (US Patents #7255514 and #7399141). The patented process operates as a closed-loop, water-based treatment train with GAC and ion exchange resin polishing, treating 1.4 million gallons per 24-hour cycle at 250 kW peak, and is currently deployed on what Brice describes as the largest PFAS-contaminated soil remediation project in the United States (139,098 cubic yards). A first-of-its-kind mobile laboratory provides real-time analytical QA/QC for PFAS treatment projects, with results confirmed by an offsite laboratory.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through federal government contracts awarded under Brice's ANC 8(a) status, with pricing negotiated on a project-by-project basis and no public price list. Work is concentrated at remote and complex locations — 17 installations and 60 sites across Alaska, hydrographic surveys at 26 USCG units in California, Oregon, and Washington, mining-claims investigations over 9,100 acres for BLM, and Pacific Islands disaster-response construction for FEMA — for which Brice maintains specialized mobilization (barge, helicopter, and life-support camp) capabilities. The company's competitive position is grounded in its regulatory contracting advantages, two decades of validated PFAS remediation technology, embedded regulatory expertise (including former ADEC and ex-Defence Australia personnel), and a multi-generational operational track record in remote-environment logistics.
