Bristol Environmental Solutions, LLC (BES) has recently achieved the Department of Defense Advanced Geophysical Classification Accreditation Program (DAGCAP) accreditation. Awarded in May 2024, this significant milestone places BES among a group of only 15 firms to have successfully completed the accreditation process.

Notably, BES is the second 8(a) company to earn this distinction. As an SBA-certified 8(a) company, BES can now self-perform advanced geophysical classification (AGC) munition response projects, further solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.

Travis Woods, President and CEO of Bristol Industries, emphasizes the importance of this achievement: “Achieving DAGCAP accreditation is a landmark accomplishment for BES. It elevates Bristol Environmental Solutions, as an 8(a) company, to a new level of excellence, allowing us to offer our clients an unparalleled, comprehensive solution for all munitions-related needs. We are now the definitive one-stop shop in the industry.”

DAGCAP was established to improve the efficiency of cleaning up munitions and ensure that organizations meet stringent data quality standards. BES is the first company to utilize cutting-edge “one-pass” classification techniques in its practical demonstration, showcasing its advanced capabilities and commitment to innovation.

As an 8(a) company, BES can secure sole-source contracts, reducing risks for government clients by eliminating the need for subcontractors. This achievement underscores BES’s dedication to providing top-tier services and solidifies its reputation as a reliable partner in the munitions response sector.
