Small Environmental Business Action Coalition (SEBAC)

What Small Environmental Business Action Coalition (SEBAC) does

The Small Environmental Business Action Coalition (SEBAC) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association founded in 2001 and headquartered at 1001 G Street NW, Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. The organization operates as a membership coalition representing small environmental businesses — firms with 1,000 or fewer employees performing environmental investigations, consulting, design, engineering, remediation, operations and maintenance, and ordnance and explosives work for federal agencies. Its membership spans small, disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, Women-owned, Veteran-owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-owned, and Native American-owned enterprises operating across the United States and in foreign jurisdictions including Iraq and the Gulf Coast region. SEBAC's purpose is to provide a unified collective voice before federal agencies, the Small Business Administration, and Congress on procurement policy, NAICS code assignments, and small business set-aside designations.

SEBAC's core offerings are member services rather than technology products. These include federal contracting advocacy, acquisition strategy intelligence focused on NAICS codes 541620 (Environmental Consulting) and 562910 (Remediation), the annual Award for Excellence program recognizing federal agencies for small business contracting commitments (2022 USACE, 2023 NAVFAC, 2024 EPA, 2025 USCG), and the annual Networking Reception held at the SAME Small Business Conference. The coalition has a documented track record of advocacy wins including proposal extensions, qualification requirement revisions, NAICS code corrections, Sources Sought alerts, and inclusion of Economic Price Adjustment clauses. Governance rests with an all-volunteer seven-member Board of Directors elected by the membership to two-year terms, with officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) elected annually.

SEBAC's business model is a recurring subscription membership structure: dues are employee-based and prorated according to the months remaining in the membership year, which runs July 1 through June 30, billed annually. Specific dues tiers are not publicly disclosed. The organization is funded entirely through membership dues and event sponsorship; there are no investors, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no disclosed financial figures. Revenue mechanics are predictable but modest in scale, consistent with a small DC-based trade association supported by an all-volunteer board.

Direct peers

• Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP): Advocacy organization for women-owned businesses in federal contracting. Shares SEBAC's certification-driven member focus and federal procurement advocacy mission.
• National Association of Small Businesses (NASB): Cross-industry small business advocacy organization focused on federal contracting access. Similar mission to SEBAC but operating across industries rather than concentrating on environmental services.
• National 8(a) Association: Association representing 8(a) program participants, including environmental small businesses pursuing federal contracts. Overlaps directly with SEBAC's disadvantaged-business member segment.
• National Veteran Small Business Coalition: Coalition supporting veteran-owned small businesses in federal contracting. Shares SEBAC's certification-focused advocacy model and overlapping member base.
• National HUBZone Contractors Association: Trade association serving HUBZone-certified small businesses, including environmental firms. Shares SEBAC's focus on certification-driven access to federal set-aside contracts.

Broad incumbents

• Professional Services Council (PSC): The leading trade association for government services contractors. PSC advocates on federal acquisition policy broadly, providing a larger-scale parallel to SEBAC's environmental-services-specific advocacy.
• Society of American Military Engineers (SAME): A broader, well-established association for the federal infrastructure and engineering community. SEBAC actively participates in SAME's Small Business Conference and shares overlapping membership among firms serving DOD and federal civilian agencies.
• American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC): National trade association for engineering firms, including those performing federal environmental work. Competes for advocacy attention across overlapping federal environmental engineering markets.
• National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA): A major defense industry trade association with divisions covering environmental, remediation, and installation services. NDIA competes for member attention and advocacy influence in overlapping federal procurement domains.

Others

• Environmental Council of the States (ECOS): Association of state environmental agencies. Not a direct competitor but a relevant ecosystem actor in the federal environmental procurement landscape that SEBAC members serve.
