The joint venture will provide a wide range of environmental services across three service regions through March 2031.

FE-CT JV, LLC, a joint venture between First Environment, Inc. (SDVOSB) and CT Consultants, a Verdantas Company (Verdantas), has been awarded a $300 million Shared Capacity Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Construction and Facilities Management. The multi-region award advances the VA’s environmental compliance, historic preservation, and sustainability initiatives across its national portfolio.

The FE-CT Team brings together two firms with extensive experience supporting federal agencies, particularly on complex environmental and cultural resource projects. Drawing on decades of technical expertise and a record of successful project delivery, FE-CT JV, LLC is strategically positioned to help the VA meet its objectives at more than 1,500 existing facilities and emerging project sites nationwide. 

Under this contract, FE-CT JV, LLC will serve as the prime contractor, overseeing all aspects of project and contract management. Services include NEPA compliance, cultural resource assessments, sustainability planning, and environmental investigations. A robust network of specialty subcontractors further strengthens the team’s capabilities in archaeology, historic documentation, and sustainable design.

A Trusted Partner for VA’s Mission

“FE-CT JV, LLC is honored to continue supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs in its commitment to veterans and their families,” said Devin DeMarco, Project Manager for FE-CT JV, LLC. “Our team’s nationwide reach, technical depth, and longstanding VA relationships ensure that we can deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions for projects of any size and complexity while reducing the burden on the VA’s internal teams.”

Joe Cantz, Client Development Lead for Verdantas, said, “When we first connected with First Environment in 2022, it was clear that our shared expertise could create something greater together. Through this venture, we’re combining strengths to provide innovative, integrated solutions that address the evolving environmental challenges faced by our federal clients.”
