RASco, Inc. is a growing and dynamic Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business engineering, consulting and design firm.  RASco, Inc. has an established track-record and reputation of providing a wide spectrum of environmental, engineering, equipment fabrication and operation/maintenance support and services for Federal, State and local government agencies and private sector commercial and industrial clients. Each of our clients receive high quality, professional and timely services that address their particular needs and requirements.

Corporate Background and Mission

 RASco, Inc. was founded in February 1991 by the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Vincent J. Ciccone, PhD, PE, DEE.  The Company is a successor to a former engineering corporation, VJC & Associates, founded in 1977, and headed by Dr. Ciccone, which was acquired by a large international engineering firm in 1988.  The Company’s overall mission is to create physical infrastructure solutions that improve homeland security, force protection, public health, facilities operations, productivity, and the environment.  We accomplish this mission in multiple sectors (government, agriculture, commercial, and industrial) through a range of products and services.

RASco Business Philosophy 

RASco was established to provide outstanding customer service and cost-effective, timely products and services.  We accomplish this with a low overhead operation and a critical mass of expert staff positioned as the hub of a high-quality network of subject matter experts, manufacturers, suppliers and service businesses, A&E firms and construction/installation companies.  Our staff leverages this network to integrate diverse technologies, expertise, and deployment capabilities, creating practical, superior products and services for RASco clients. 

RASco Organizational Strengths

• A highly qualified staff with outstanding individual reputations in a combination of disciplines not often found in a small business.
• An exceptional organizational track record of successful engagements and very strong relationships with our client base.
• Significant synergies among our business units that allow successfully undertaking projects requiring the combination of science, engineering, hands-on equipment prototyping, system integration, construction, installation, and operations. 
• A facility security clearance (secret), individual clearances, and a long history of work in high security, mission critical installations.
• FDA 510(K) Certified for work in medical, food processing, high-tech industrial processes and other high purity environments.
• Patented Technologies to improve function, effectiveness, and operations of utility systems.
• Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOB) status.

Homeland Security

We are experts in providing added security to mission critical facilities and to “icon” facilities.  RASco offers, as a particular area of focus, a field-proven diversified utility infrastructure product line featuring our Hyd-RO-SecureÔ drinking water treatment units.   RASco technology is in place and operating at a number of highly visible and sensitive sites around the world.  We also offer mobile systems for preparedness, rapid response, and disaster relief applications. 

Our experience in developing new or integrating existing technologies for water treatment, our work in high security environments, and our more recently expanded R,D&D capability, led to funding by a U.S. Government counter terrorism agency to develop a water system to protect mission critical installations.  This system is designed to meet the challenges of chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) hazards, and has been successfully tested at extreme levels with live, weapons-grade agents.  A prototype system has already been designed, fabricated, tested, and installed in a high security critical facility.
