Bionomics, Inc.

Bionomics, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Kingston, Tennessee, provides radioactive waste collection, packaging, transportation, processing, and disposal services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The company holds SAM.gov registration as a woman-owned small business since 2003 and operates under NAICS codes 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection) and 562219 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), with primary PSC coding in Environmental Systems Protection and Environmental Remediation (PSC Q901).

Bionomics' capability portfolio centers on low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) management, mixed radiological waste disposal, and hazardous waste removal at federal facilities nationwide. Recent representative prime work includes a $299,234 firm fixed-price delivery order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (May 2026) for LLRW removal under a single-award IDIQ with a $2.175 million ceiling running through September 2030; an $88,898.57 purchase order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (September 2023) for radioactive waste disposal services through September 2028; an $8,045 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Agriculture (April 2026) for disposal of mixed radiological and radioactive contaminated material at the Edward T. Schaefer Agricultural Research Center in Fargo, North Dakota, encompassing approximately 280 to 428 kilograms of radioactive inventory including glass vials contaminated with Carbon-14 and Chlorine-36 isotopes; and a $21,665 purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 10 (March 2026) for radioactive waste removal and disposal at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis.

Customer concentration is highly dispersed across 34 federal agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration represents the largest single customer by award count, accounting for multiple VISNs and nine awards totaling $67 thousand (the portfolio figures reflect only tracked recent awards; the source notes 146 total prime awards spanning back to 1990). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention anchors the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking with $7.1 million across two awards. The Department of Agriculture, EPA, and National Institutes of Health round out active customer agencies. Combined potential value across all tracked awards is $173.9 million, though only $2.6 million (1% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the nature of firm fixed-price purchase orders and IDIQs whose ceiling values vastly exceed near-term execution.

Bionomics holds two single-award IDVs: the NIST LLRW processing and disposal IDIQ ($2.175 million ceiling through September 2030) and a Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 Blanket Purchase Agreement ($75,000 ceiling through December 2029) for radioactive and hazardous waste removal and disposal at VA Boston Healthcare System facilities. Task orders under agency-specific IDIQs (USDA AG6395C100146, VA69DP0926, and HHS IDIQs) represent historical ordering patterns, with five to six task orders per vehicle carrying sub-$100 thousand combined values per vehicle. Activity over the past five years shows modest, uneven throughput — one award in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, and four in 2025 — reflecting the episodic, small-dollar nature of facility-specific waste disposal contracts. Three awards totaling $312 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The vendor operates as 100% prime (no subcontract footprint) and competes under both Total Small Business set-asides (most NIST and VA work) and full-and-open (CDC, some USDA awards), with set-aside posture driven by solicitation structure rather than a dominant strategy. Compliance certifications include Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Transportation licensing and regulatory compliance for all radioactive and hazardous waste handling, packaging, and transportation.
