NAICS 562211 – Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal encompasses the safe handling, treatment, stabilization, transportation, and final disposal of regulated hazardous wastes, including chemical, biological, and radioactive materials. This sector supports federal compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), providing critical services such as incineration, chemical neutralization, landfill engineering, and decontamination of contaminated sites. Government contractors in this space deliver specialized engineering solutions for remediation, waste characterization, and regulatory permitting, often working in high-risk environments requiring strict adherence to EPA and DOT protocols. This NAICS is integral to federal environmental stewardship, supporting cleanup missions across military installations, research facilities, and public health infrastructure. Top contractors in this sector include AAECON GENERAL CONTRACTING LLC, CONSULTECH ENVIRONMENTAL LLC, and RE-ENGINEERED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC., representing a mix of small businesses and niche environmental engineering firms with deep expertise in hazardous materials management. These firms typically compete on technical capability, regulatory compliance experience, and rapid response capacity rather than scale, reflecting a market where specialized certifications and field operational proficiency are decisive advantages. The Department of the Interior, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, and Department of Justice are the primary federal buyers, driven by missions ranging from legacy site remediation at former defense facilities to the safe disposal of pharmaceutical and laboratory wastes from federal research labs and correctional medical programs. Demand is consistently tied to environmental enforcement actions, facility decommissioning cycles, and ongoing compliance obligations. The competitive landscape is characterized by high barriers to entry due to permitting, safety, and logistics requirements, creating concentrated opportunities for firms with proven track records in federal environmental remediation. Contracting trends favor integrated service providers capable of end-to-end waste management, from sampling and analysis to final disposal and documentation, with increasing emphasis on sustainable treatment technologies and real-time monitoring systems.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.

South Carolina Regional Hazardous Waste Disposal
Solicitation # SP450026R0014
This sources sought notice from the Department of Defense’s DLA Disposition Services seeks to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing comprehensive hazardous waste management services across South Carolina, with a strict focus on ensuring compliance with small business set-aside requirements under FAR 19.5. The solicitation targets 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to perform the transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of a wide range of regulated wastes including RCRA and non-RCRA hazardous materials, PCBs, PFAS-containing wastes like AFFF, compressed gas cylinders, batteries, and demilitarization waste. The work involves specialized services such as sampling, lab packing, rolloff and FRAC tank rentals, industrial cleaning, and expedited removals, all governed by strict DOT, EPA, RCRA, and state regulatory standards. Contractors must use only Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) pre-approved and listed on DLA’s Qualified Facilities List and must ensure all packaging, labeling, manifesting, and transportation comply with federal and military specifications, including the use of UN-approved containers and proper placarding. The contract is expected to be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) services contract with a 30-month base period and one 30-month option period, subject to a total small business set-aside. A critical requirement is adherence to FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting, with a Class Deviation 2021-O0008 restricting small business contractors from paying more than 50% of the contract value to large business subcontractors—a significant challenge given that nearly all TSDFs in the industry are large entities and disposal costs dominate the contract value. Respondents must submit a three-page capabilities package detailing their small business certification, relevant experience within the last five years, a clear explanation of how they will meet the subcontracting limitation despite the scarcity of small business TSDFs, and a full listing of proposed TSDFs with their classification as similarly situated or not. While large businesses may respond, they are not required to address the subcontracting clause. All submissions must be emailed to the designated point of contact by 5 PM EST on July 23, 2026, with the specified subject line; late submissions will not be accepted. The Government will evaluate responses to determine whether a full and open competition or a small
