Alpine Environmental Earns Federal SBA WOSB Certification
Alpine Environmental, a trusted leader in asbestos and lead paint abatement, has officially achieved Federal SBA Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Certification. This significant milestone follows its earlier certification by the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), reinforcing its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and excellence in the environmental services industry.
A Commitment to Growth and Leadership
In 2024, Alpine Environmental underwent a pivotal transformation in its leadership structure. The election of CEO Theresa Hazelrigg, alongside controlling stakeholders Kristen Hettig (Peik) and Leslie Peik, marked a new era for the company. With their leadership, Alpine officially became a women- and minority-owned business, positioning itself to take advantage of new opportunities while upholding its legacy of quality and service.
“We are honored to achieve Federal SBA WOSB Certification,” said CEO Theresa Hazelrigg. “This milestone not only reflects our ongoing commitment to diversity but also allows us to expand our ability to serve government clients and strengthen our partnerships within the industry. We are excited for the opportunities this will create and remain dedicated to delivering exceptional environmental services.”
About the Federal SBA WOSB Certification
The Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification, issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), is designed to provide equal access to federal contracting opportunities for women-owned businesses. The program aims to level the playing field by setting aside specific contracts for WOSB-certified companies, ensuring that women entrepreneurs have a fair chance to compete for and secure federal contracts.
Through this certification, Alpine Environmental will now be eligible to compete for exclusive federal set-aside contracts. This opens new doors for growth and expansion, allowing the company to bring its expertise in environmental remediation to a broader range of clients, including government agencies, military bases, and federally funded projects.
Benefits of WOSB Certification:
- Access to federal set-aside contracts exclusively for WOSB-certified businesses
- Increased visibility in the federal contracting space
- Expanded networking opportunities with government agencies and prime contractors
- Competitive advantage in securing federal projects
