The private equity-backed consulting firm has worked on these Environmental Protection Agency programs for close to 20 years.
Cadmus has booked a five-year, $162 million contract that extends its support of the Environmental Protection Agency's programs aimed at ensuring safe public drinking water across the U.S.
The consulting firm's scope of work for the contract covers public water systems supervision and underground injection control programs. EPA has tasked Cadmus with this work under multiple contracts over approximately 20 years, Cadmus said Tuesday.
EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water finalized the award in December with Cadmus as the lone offeror, according to Federal Procurement Data System records. That office is the entity responsible for regulations and implementation activities that encompass national standards for public water systems.
Cadmus' areas of focus for EPA's drinking water safety mission have included policy creation, risk assessment, contingency planning, health and safety domain knowledge, training, and compliance testing.
Arlington, Virginia-headquartered Cadmus employs approximately 1,000 people whose clients are in the government and highly-regulated commercial sectors, plus at nongovernmental organizations. The company's majority owner is private equity firm CI Capital Partners, which entered the investment in the fall of 2021.
