Hazardous Contracts West

Hazardous Contracts West serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Disposition Services – EBS (SP4500), overseeing the acquisition of hazardous and nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal services critical to Department of Defense environmental compliance. Responsible for ensuring regulatory adherence across global military installations, they manage the full lifecycle of contracts under NAICS 562211, securing specialized vendors capable of handling chemically complex, regulated waste streams in alignment with EPA, DOT, and DoD environmental standards. Their acquisitions focus on incineration, chemical treatment, stabilization, and secure land disposal, with an emphasis on theater-specific logistics and sustainable remediation solutions. They maintain enduring partnerships with industry leaders such as Boh Environmental, TRI-STATE GOVERNMENT SERVICES INC, INDUSTRIAL WASTE UTILIZATION, INC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, and TRADEBE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, LLC—each recognized for technical expertise in hazardous waste management and nationwide permitting capabilities. These relationships reflect a preference for established, fully compliant contractors with demonstrated operational capacity in high-risk environments, including overseas and remote DoD sites. Their contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, stringent safety protocols, and environmental accountability. While the majority of procurements are conducted as full and open competitions (72.2%), a consistent 27.8% of contracts are set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business engagement in the hazardous waste sector. No specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate their portfolio, indicating a focus on capability over certification, though small business eligibility remains a core criterion. Their exclusive reliance on NAICS 562211 underscores deep specialization in hazardous waste treatment and disposal, with procurement activities centered on engineered solutions for military-generated contaminants, including PCBs, solvents, heavy metals, and mixed wastes. Technical expertise in RCRA compliance, manifest tracking, and transport logistics defines their domain.
