Unique Qualifications to Support Work in Challenging Environments
As a small business, EHA is singularly qualified to support federal programs in spheres where previously only large companies have been players. Following are some of the diverse qualifications that demonstrate our standing as a small business that consistently navigates any obstacle to meet mission requirements.
EHA IS CERTIFIED 8(A) ALASKAN NATIVE CORPORATION (ANC)
The 8(a) ANC status allows EHA to accept direct awards known as sole-source contracts with a ceiling of up to $22 million for federal agencies including the Veterans Administration (VA).
Recent SBA changes allow EHA to receive DoD contracts with a ceiling of up to $100M.
Awards to an 8(a) ANC cannot be protested.
The 8(a) business development program provides resource-limited small disadvantage businesses to transition into companies capable of competing with larger businesses for “full and open” competitive contracts.
LOCAL PRESENCE
EHA believes that having on-site program management is the most effective way to ensure proper adherence to contract requirements and to maintain customer and employee satisfaction.
LABORATORY AND TESTING FACILITIES
In addition to providing the Scientist and Subject Matter Expertise to support laboratory-based programs EHA has access to commercial laboratory space and the equipment available to support a wide array of diagnostic test. When a customer needs to expand past their current laboratory capacity EHA provides that support.
EHA maintains FWA for the protection of human subjects (DHHS FWA number: FWA00014512). The majority of EHA employees are involved in carrying out research and support protocols that involve human subjects. Therefore, EHA and its employees possesses the certifications necessary to participate in research activities that support protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
FEDERAL WIDE ASSURANCE (FWA)
To facilitate mission requirements during an international response, it is often a necessity to leverage the expertise of a foreign company or other organization that can operate “on-site” internationally. EHA can directly sub-contract to foreign organizations which in turn allows us to quickly navigate the foreign environment and meet our customers programmatic goals.
CAPABLE OF SUB-CONTRACTING TO FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS
EHA retains the highest level of security clearance to support any requirements that may have sensitive material.
SECURITY CLEARANCE
The safety and well-being of our employees is the single most important consideration to EHA during each mission; we developed a Foreign Travel Working Group (FTWG) with extensive experience in global public health expert deployments. Our FTWG is a highly seasoned team that ensures that we provide the most up-to-date travel information to our employees.
EHA has invested in the best employee healthcare insurance that can be provided. Our insurance will “air-vac” our employees out of a country if they are working in remote sites or in countries with resource limited settings.
SPECIAL “INTERNATIONAL” EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE
Getting H1-B sponsorship is a primary concern for international students as well as those currently in the workforce who are uniquely qualified for highly technical positions.

EHA is committed to providing stable work environments and personalized services for all clients and employees.
