Do they set a very low price for the work ie what they need to make to keep going and drive down the price of archaeology as a whole? Is this fair competition in the world of commercial archaeology?
As someone regularly commissioning fieldwork, I've seen no evidence to suggest that the types of organisation you describe submit noticably lower prices than purely 'commercial' outfits.
