What Dynamac Corporation does

Dynamac Corporation, doing business as Consolidated Safety Services (CSS), is an employee-owned (ESOP) science-based solutions company incorporated in 1988 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, with additional operational presence in Castle Rock and Edison supporting EPA emergency response. The company serves more than 28 U.S. federal agencies and select commercial and academic clients, delivering work across eight core service areas: space science application support and operations, emergency preparedness and response, environmental resource assessment and management, facilities operations and maintenance, human health risk assessment, IT services, safety/health/environmental compliance, and satellite science and environmental intelligence.

CSS's technology stack combines proprietary hardware and software assets, including the PHILIS portable mobile laboratory fleet (10 units, 100 samples per day processing capacity, 6-hour mobilization), operations of the SUBSA high-temperature furnace aboard the International Space Station with NASA partner Redwire Space Technologies, custom web applications such as National AquaMapper, HABTracker, OceanReports, Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper, and CAPP, and IT systems including MRIP, FSCS, SIS, AUDRIS, and Triage-Link. Following the 2023 acquisition of Riverside Technology, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the company expanded its earth observation capabilities to span in-field, ground-based, airborne, and satellite remote sensing methodologies. AI/ML capabilities include predictive modeling for harmful algal blooms and offshore wind siting, the L-OISS large language model deployed for NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, and AI/ML applied to climate assessment and numerical weather prediction.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through U.S. federal government contracting, primarily as a prime contractor and secondarily as a subcontractor. Engagement channels include the GSA Schedule, NOAA ProTech Domains, and agency-specific IDIQ vehicles (EPA STACM, NIH DOHS, NASA REMIS), with multi-decade embedded relationships such as EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs since 1982, NIEHS since 1985, and CDC Hazardous Waste Program for 22 years. Pricing is contract-negotiated and not publicly disclosed; the customer base is exclusively U.S. federal, with marketing conducted through the company website, government procurement channels, and select social media platforms rather than traditional demand-generation funnels.

Core offering

Dynamac Corporation, doing business as Consolidated Safety Services (CSS), is an employee-owned science-based solutions provider delivering eight core professional service lines—space science application support, emergency preparedness and response, environmental resource assessment and management, facilities operations and maintenance, human health risk assessment, IT services, safety/health/environmental compliance, and satellite science and environmental intelligence—primarily to U.S. federal agencies. The firm operates proprietary assets such as the PHILIS fleet of 10 mobile analytical laboratories, the SUBSA furnace on the International Space Station, the HABTracker harmful algal bloom forecast system, and custom NOAA data platforms (MRIP, FSCS, SIS, NUCAPS, AUDRIS, Triage-Link), supporting missions for EPA, NOAA, NASA, CDC, NIH, NIEHS, the U.S. Army, the Department of State, and BOEM.

Product overview

Dynamac Corporation (DBA Consolidated Safety Services/CSS) is an employee-owned, science-based solutions company providing eight core service areas spanning environmental science, emergency response, space science, and IT services to federal agencies and commercial clients since 1988. The company operates as an integrated solutions provider rather than a single product company, with key offerings including: Emergency Preparedness & Response with mobile PHILIS laboratories for on-site chemical analysis; Satellite Science & Environmental Intelligence offering earth observations, predictive modeling, and environmental data management; Space Science Application Support including ISS hardware operations (SUBSA furnace); Environmental Resource Assessment & Management with field sampling, GIS, and ecosystem research; and IT Services including NOAA fisheries data systems (MRIP, FSCS, SIS), cybersecurity, and custom software engineering. Following the 2026 acquisition of Riverside Technology, Inc., CSS now combines expertise in earth observation using in-field, ground-based, airborne, and satellite remote sensing methodologies. The company also develops specialized web tools including National AquaMapper, HABTracker forecast system, Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper, and OceanReports.
