NAICS 562212 – Solid Waste Landfill encompasses the operation, maintenance, and management of engineered landfills designed for the final disposal of non-hazardous solid waste. This includes site construction, liner and leachate collection system installation, gas extraction and control, daily cover application, groundwater monitoring, closure planning, and post-closure care in compliance with EPA regulations under RCRA Subtitle D. In the federal contracting landscape, this NAICS supports environmental compliance and infrastructure sustainment for military installations, federal facilities, and remote defense sites where waste disposal must meet stringent environmental and operational standards. Services often involve long-term contractual obligations due to regulatory requirements and the multi-decade lifecycle of landfill operations. BPM SERVICES INC is the leading contractor in this sector, delivering comprehensive landfill management solutions including environmental engineering, regulatory reporting, and remediation services. The competitive landscape is dominated by specialized environmental services firms with expertise in geotechnical engineering and hazardous waste permitting, though small businesses with niche capabilities in monitoring or community outreach also participate in subcontracting roles. The Department of Defense is the primary federal buyer, driving demand through its installation environmental management programs. Military bases, training ranges, and overseas logistics hubs require compliant waste disposal infrastructure to meet DoD sustainability mandates and environmental stewardship obligations. Contracting is typically tied to base operations support contracts and environmental restoration initiatives. The market is characterized by high regulatory barriers to entry, long contract durations, and a reliance on technical expertise in environmental engineering and regulatory compliance. Opportunities exist for contractors with proven experience in landfill gas management, leachate treatment, and closure certification, particularly those capable of supporting DoD’s broader installation resilience and environmental justice goals. Procurement is concentrated in regions with high military presence and limited alternative disposal options.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 562212 work as a small business.

$47.0M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

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.
