SDVOSB Verified

Mabbett, for over 25 years, was predominantly serving private sector clients, including the nation’s largest manufacturers, as well as biotechnology, industrial and high technology companies, and institutions. In an effort to grow and expand the firm, in 2005, Mabbett was verified as a US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), a small business category established by Presidential Executive Order and Public Law (PL 106-50), due to Arthur’s 19 years of meritorious service as a Major, Environmental Sciences Officer in the U.S. Army - both on active duty and in the Army Reserves. With the creation of the US Small Business Administration (SBA) Governmentwide small business certification program in 2023, Mabbett maintains an active SDVOSB certification.

Acquisition of EHS Services Division of MasiMax Resources, Inc. in Reston, Virginia

In addition to Mabbett’s SDVOSB certification in 2007, the firm acquired the EHS Services Division of MasiMax Resources, Inc. in Reston, Virginia (office now located in Alexandria, Virginia) and established a Washington, D.C. presence to support our strategic vision to expand into the federal market. Mabbett consistently focused its strategic business development efforts and overall business plan on sustainable growth, established strong working relationships, and exceptional past performance. These targeted efforts reduced the cost of sales, increase the proposal capture rate, and total project income.
