Bionomics, Inc.

Bionomics, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Kingston, Tennessee, operates as a prime contractor delivering radioactive and hazardous waste collection, packaging, transportation, processing, and disposal services to federal agencies. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides — 52 awards fall under NAICS 562112 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) and NAICS 562111 (Hazardous Waste Collection) — with roughly 60% of recent awards carrying Total Small Business or competitive small-business set-aside designations. Bionomics maintains full compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Transportation regulations and has held SAM.gov registration as a woman-owned small business since 2003.

The company's capability portfolio centers on low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) processing and disposal, mixed radiological waste management, sealed-source removal, and hazardous waste brokerage. Recent representative work includes a $299,234 delivery order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (May 2026) for LLRW removal under a single-award indefinite-delivery contract valued at $2.175 million through September 2030; a $31,930 purchase order from the Environmental Protection Agency (August 2026) for removal and disposal of radioactive waste streams at the Research Triangle Park facility in Durham, North Carolina; and an $8,045 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture (April 2026) for mixed radiological waste disposal at the Edward T. Schaefer Agricultural Research Center in Fargo, North Dakota, covering approximately 280 to 428 kilograms of contaminated materials including Carbon-14 and Chlorine-36 isotopes.

Customer concentration is dispersed across 34 federal agencies, with the top five by award count representing only 26% of recent awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (across six distinct Veterans Integrated Service Networks) and the Department of Agriculture comprise the largest share of transaction volume, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Standards and Technology drive the highest dollar potential — CDC accounts for $7.1 million across two awards and NIST for $2.5 million across two awards. The top parent vehicles are five single-award and multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts held by USDA, Veterans Affairs, and HHS, each carrying between two and six task orders with modest individual values reflecting the specialized, episodic nature of radioactive waste disposal work. Activity remains steady at three to four awards per year over the past three years, with three awards (combined potential value $433 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Bionomics operates exclusively as a prime contractor — 100% of its award portfolio consists of prime contracts and IDVs — with no subcontractor relationships identified in the source.
