O’Brien Engineering, Inc. is a certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Owned and operated by an honorably discharged disabled veteran, the firm brings a service-driven mindset to engineering work that supports critical public infrastructure.

SDVOSB certification is more than a designation. It reflects eligibility for federal programs designed to expand participation by veteran-owned businesses in government contracting. In practice, this status enables continued service through technically complex projects that support federal, state, and municipal agencies.
The work is centered on practical engineering solutions that meet regulatory requirements, perform under real-world conditions, and deliver long-term value to the communities they serve.
SDVOSB Federal Contract Experience
Since achieving SDVOSB certification, the firm has supported multiple federal contracts and task orders across a broad range of engineering disciplines. SDVOSB status opens doors to federal sole-source and set-aside contract opportunities designed to increase veteran-owned firms’ participation in government procurement.
More than ten active federal contracts currently span project scopes that include:
- Facility and infrastructure design
- Construction support and technical oversight
- Emergency floodplain management
- Water resource planning and mitigation
These efforts require both technical depth and the ability to operate within multi-agency environments. That experience allows federal partners to move projects forward with confidence, even under compressed timelines or challenging site conditions.
Federal Agencies We Support
Work to date has included direct support for several federal agencies, including:
- Department of Defense
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Veterans Affairs
Each agency brings distinct operational priorities and regulatory frameworks. The role of the engineering team is to translate those requirements into buildable, defensible solutions that withstand review and long-term use.
Multi-Agency Collaboration and Program Coordination
Many federal initiatives require coordination across multiple agencies and jurisdictions. Ongoing collaboration includes work with:
- US Army Corps of Engineers
- Federal Emergency Management Agency
- Customs and Border Protection
- US Forest Service
- Department of Veterans Affairs
This coordination is essential on large-scale projects where environmental review, land use, security, and infrastructure intersect. Clear communication across agencies helps align technical standards and support efficient implementation without compromising compliance.
A Multidisciplinary Engineering Approach
A multidisciplinary design approach allows complex problems to be evaluated holistically rather than in isolation. This reduces downstream conflicts and improves overall project outcomes.
Each project is approached as a long-term asset rather than a one-time deliverable. That perspective supports durability, maintainability, and regulatory clarity throughout the full lifecycle of the infrastructure.
Continuing a Commitment Through Engineering
Work continues across federal, state, municipal, and private organizations where technical rigor and accountability are essential. While SDVOSB certification supports access to opportunities, long-term partnerships are sustained through consistent engineering performance.
