Purchase Order 12639526P0092

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services awarded a $9,040 firm fixed-price purchase order to Lewis Environmental LLC for dumpster and disposal services supporting High-Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) response operations at a facility in Brooklyn, New York. The contract, awarded on March 13, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 17, 2026, was not designated as a set-aside. Lewis Environmental, a Royersford, Pennsylvania-based environmental remediation and emergency response services provider, will provide critical disposal infrastructure and waste management services for contaminated materials and infected poultry resulting from avian influenza outbreak containment activities.

This award reflects Lewis Environmental's established role as a primary contractor for APHIS Veterinary Services' HPAI response efforts, a partnership spanning since 2021 that has encompassed disposal services, decontamination operations, and emergency cleanup at affected poultry facilities across multiple states. The company's extensive federal contract portfolio with APHIS, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other agencies demonstrates its capacity for rapid mobilization and execution of time-sensitive environmental response requirements. The relatively modest contract value reflects the discrete nature of this specific disposal services requirement within the broader HPAI containment mission.
