Purchase Order 15DDL226P00000004

The Drug Enforcement Administration has awarded a $21,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Reworld Holding Corporation, doing business as Covanta, for the destruction of evidence at a burn facility in Newark, New Jersey. The contract, awarded on March 4, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026, supports the DEA's mission to secure and destroy seized drugs, controlled substances, and related evidence through specialized incineration services. This award was issued without socioeconomic set-aside designation and represents a direct purchase order rather than a task order under an existing indefinite delivery vehicle.

Covanta is the largest operator of energy-from-waste facilities in the United States and has established itself as the DEA's primary vendor for evidence destruction services, executing hundreds of purchase orders and task orders for narcotics and evidence incineration across its nationwide facility network. The company maintains a $700,000 blanket purchase agreement with the DEA established in September 2021 that serves as the underlying vehicle for ongoing task order issuance for evidence and hazardous waste disposal services. Beyond the DEA, Covanta has delivered destruction and disposal services to multiple federal agencies including the National Archives and Records Administration, Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and others, demonstrating its established capability and federal contracting presence in the specialized destruction services market.
