ALTA SCIENCE & ENGINEERING INC

ALTA SCIENCE & ENGINEERING INC specializes in engineering services for federal land and resource management, delivering technical analysis, schematic design, and environmental compliance support for complex infrastructure projects. Their core expertise includes civil and environmental engineering for remote and sensitive sites, with demonstrated proficiency in trail system planning, mining district evaluations, and CERCLA site remediation logistics—including sampling, packaging, and disposal of hazardous drill core and cuttings. The firm provides end-to-end engineering support from alternative analysis and feasibility studies to schematic design and construction-phase modifications, often working in coordination with regulatory frameworks for federal lands. A key differentiator is their ability to execute technically demanding field-based engineering in ecologically sensitive areas, integrating environmental stewardship with infrastructure development. The contractor maintains a consistent presence with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior, delivering engineering services for forest service roads, trail systems, and wildlife refuge infrastructure. Their work for the Interior Department includes planning for backcountry trail networks in protected areas, while USDA engagements focus on mining district assessments and bridge construction in rural, often isolated regions. They have also supported the Department of Justice with expert witness services in environmental litigation, indicating capacity in forensic environmental analysis and regulatory testimony. Primary work falls under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with a secondary focus on environmental consulting under 541620. This positions them as a niche provider of applied engineering for public land management agencies, emphasizing field-based, site-specific solutions rather than broad-scale design. Their market positioning is that of a responsive, technically precise contractor serving federal entities managing natural resources under strict environmental mandates. Based in Kellogg, Idaho, ALTA Science & Engineering Inc. operates as a small business (2L entity) with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to federal land management zones enhances their ability to respond rapidly to field requirements across the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West regions.
