Washington DC · Federal Subcontracting
Federal Environmental & Industrial Services Subcontractor for the National Capital Region
iSi Environmental plugs into prime contractor and federal facility teams as the environmental, industrial hygiene, and abatement subcontractor. Phase I/II site assessments, asbestos and lead abatement, NESHAP compliance, IH monitoring, and hazardous waste support — with credentialed staff named to your proposal and capability documentation ready for your capture team.
Teaming and RFP/RFI Participation
Federal solicitations in the National Capital Region routinely bundle environmental, abatement, and industrial hygiene scope into larger facility, renovation, and construction packages. Primes that price that scope late — or guess at it — carry the risk into the award. iSi removes that risk before submission.
Bring iSi in during capture. We provide the environmental and IH portion of your technical and price volumes: defined scope of work, realistic pricing, regulatory framework, and credentialed personnel named to roles. We supply a capability statement and past-performance summaries for your proposal, and we respond to RFIs with the technical depth contracting officers expect from a specialist subcontractor.
Our staff hold the credentials federal evaluators weight: Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Professional Engineer (P.E.), Professional Geologist (P.G.), Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM), and ISO 14001 and 45001 Lead Auditor certifications. iSi operates in 40 states and standardizes documentation to the level federal closeout and property transfer require.
Federal Facility Capabilities
iSi conducts Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM E1527-21) ahead of renovation, acquisition, lease turnover, and property transfer — identifying recognized environmental conditions before they stop a project. Phase I transitions seamlessly to Phase II when conditions warrant.
For renovation and demolition, iSi performs the asbestos survey, NESHAP notification, and abatement (40 CFR 61, Subpart M) under containment, with air monitoring and clearance testing. We manage lead-based paint assessment and abatement on historic federal buildings, and we characterize, manifest, and dispose of hazardous waste through approved facilities.
Our industrial hygiene team provides air monitoring, exposure assessment, and IH program support for federal laboratories, data centers, and government facilities — documenting results against OSHA permissible exposure limits and the standards your facility operates under.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is iSi available to team on federal RFPs and RFIs in the Washington DC area?
Yes. iSi works as an environmental, industrial hygiene, and abatement subcontractor to prime contractors and federal facility managers pursuing work in the National Capital Region. We participate in RFP and RFI responses, provide scope and pricing inputs for the environmental and IH portions of a bid, supply a capability statement and past-performance summaries, and assign credentialed staff (CSP, P.E., P.G., CHMM, ISO 14001 and 45001 Lead Auditors) to named roles. Contact us early in your capture process so the environmental scope is priced correctly before submission.
What environmental and industrial hygiene scope does iSi cover for federal facilities?
iSi provides Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM E1527-21), asbestos and lead abatement, NESHAP compliance and notification (40 CFR 61, Subpart M), industrial hygiene air monitoring and exposure assessment, hazardous waste characterization and manifesting, and post-abatement clearance testing. We document everything to the standard federal agencies and primes expect for closeout and property transfer.
How does iSi handle NESHAP and asbestos requirements on federal renovation and demolition projects?
Before renovation or demolition, federal projects require an asbestos survey and, where regulated material is present, NESHAP notification under 40 CFR 61, Subpart M. iSi performs the inspection, classifies friable and non-friable material against the 260 linear feet / 160 square feet / 35 cubic feet thresholds, files the notification, and abates under containment with air monitoring and clearance testing. A missed or late NESHAP notification carries federal penalties up to $66,463 per day, so the notification timeline is built into the project schedule from the start.
What documentation does iSi provide for federal compliance and property transfer?
iSi delivers the records federal facility managers and contracting officers need: assessment reports, abatement project files, waste manifests, air monitoring and clearance data, and regulatory notifications to EPA and the DC Department of Energy and Environment. This documentation supports federal property transfer, lease turnover, renovation closeout, and a prime contractor’s compliance file.
Does iSi serve the Washington DC area even though it is headquartered in Kansas?
Yes. iSi is a national firm operating in 40 states and mobilizes credentialed environmental and industrial hygiene professionals to the National Capital Region for federal and prime-contractor engagements. Industrial services projects in the DC area are scoped as federal-facility and teaming work; for routine commercial abatement, iSi’s licensed footprint is concentrated in Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
