Oil Patch Bits: WESTON and Bristol enter into SBA agreement

Bristol Environmental Remediation Services LLC and Weston Solutions Inc. said May 24 they have entered into a Small Business Administration Mentor-Protégé Agreement. The companies said the partnership will uniquely position their complementary services to their federal clients.

Bristol Environmental and WESTON are dedicated to their combined success; the Mentor-Protégé Agreement brings together the resources, financing and internal control systems of both companies, giving them the ability to operate as a single small 8(a) business entity. Under the SBA’s Mentor-Protégé Program, a mentor and protégé may form a joint venture that is recognized as an 8(a) entity to pursue certain prime contracting opportunities. Most federal agencies struggle to meet the statutory small business contracting goals established by the SBA and this relationship can help further their commitment to assist the nation’s small business community.

WESTON is a global leader in environmental solutions, sustainable development, design-build construction, green buildings and clean energy.

Bristol Environmental is an Alaska Native-owned, certified 8(a) company specializing in environmental consulting and remediation, waste characterization/disposal and unexploded ordnance services, as well as preparation of remedial action plans and reports to support its cleanup projects.
