🇺🇸 122 Waste Management Contracts in the United States

Waste management procurement on SAM.gov covers solid waste collection, hazardous waste disposal, recycling services, and specialized waste streams at federal facilities across the country. The Department of Defense, DOE, and GSA are primary buyers, with contract values ranging from $10,000 for single-site collection services to $500 million for comprehensive environmental restoration waste management programs. Federal waste contracts require compliance with RCRA, DOT hazardous materials transportation regulations, and EPA manifest requirements. Contractors must hold appropriate state waste hauling and disposal permits, maintain Part B permits for treatment and storage facilities, and demonstrate emergency response capabilities. Security clearances are required for personnel servicing military installations. The federal government's sustainability goals under Executive Orders drive demand for waste diversion, composting, and recycling program management. DoD's Qualified Recycling Programs and GSA's net-zero waste initiatives create contract opportunities beyond traditional collection and disposal. Companies with expertise in hazardous waste characterization, mixed waste handling at DOE facilities, and medical waste management at VA hospitals find specialized, higher-value opportunities. SDVOSB and 8(a) set-asides are common in this sector.
