In just two years, Environmental & Safety Engineering Solutions LLC (EnvSafe PR), a Women-Owned Small Business engineering firm led by engineer Geannette Siberón, has achieved remarkable success, driven by a commitment to sustainable, safe, and efficient operations. Founded in January 2022, EnvSafe PR, a testament to Hispanic and Black excellence, quickly established itself, securing contracts with Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and medical device companies in its first year and doubling sales quarterly.

This early success was bolstered by key partnerships, including crucial financial support from Banco Popular. However, a major focus for EnvSafe PR was breaking into the federal contracting arena. This journey was significantly aided by the Puerto Rico FECC-Apex Accelerator office and the mentorship of Magali Flores and Pedro Acevedo. In June 2022, EnvSafe PR achieved Women-Owned Small Business certification through FECC’s guidance, and in February 2023, became the first Puerto Rican company to graduate from the SBA FedMap Accelerator program, mentored by Bart Bartlett.

These milestones culminated in a pivotal moment: in November 2023, EnvSafe PR received notification that they had won their first Army contract. This win, achieved against established U.S. firms already in federal catalogs, is a major accomplishment. This contract, a direct result of participating in a FECC-APEX Accelerator Match-making event, has already led to invitations for four additional bids with the Army and Air Force, establishing a strong foundation for future federal work. EnvSafe PR’s rapid ascent, fueled by strategic partnerships, dedicated mentorship, and a commitment to excellence, positions them for significant growth and reinforces their mission to contribute to Puerto Rico’s sustainable economic development.
