STARR II, A JOINT VENTURE

STARR II, a joint venture based in Calverton, Maryland, specializes in advanced engineering services focused on building science, risk mapping, and hazard mitigation for federal infrastructure resilience. The contractor delivers technical expertise in structural analysis, flood hazard modeling, dam safety protocols, and fire science research, supporting mission-critical operations through detailed technical manuals, risk assessment products, and geospatial data systems. Their work integrates engineering principles with federal standards for building performance, emergency preparedness, and climate resilience, with a strong emphasis on actionable outputs such as risk maps, publication development, and operational support for national programs like the National Dam Safety Program and the U.S. Fire Administration’s fire behavior studies. Differentiators include deep domain knowledge in FEMA-aligned hazard mapping methodologies, building code compliance frameworks, and the production of standardized technical documentation used across federal and state agencies. The contractor maintains an exclusive, long-standing relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, providing sustained engineering support across multiple divisions including FEMA, USFA, and the National Preparedness Directorate. Their work consistently supports hazard identification, infrastructure vulnerability assessment, and operational readiness initiatives tied to disaster response and community resilience planning. Their primary focus is on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — where they deliver applied technical solutions in structural engineering, risk analysis, and hazard mitigation science. This positions them as a niche provider in federal infrastructure resilience, serving critical public safety missions rather than commercial or general infrastructure projects. STARR II operates as a joint venture with no formal government certifications. Located in Maryland, the entity is strategically positioned to support federal agencies along the East Coast, with a dedicated focus on mission-critical homeland security and emergency management engineering tasks.
