Deffenbaugh Industries, Inc.

Deffenbaugh Industries, Inc. 78 Division, doing business as Deffenbaugh Disposal Service, operates as a subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc., competing as a prime contractor in full-and-open federal procurements for trash collection, solid waste disposal, and recycling services at federal installations across the Kansas City metropolitan area. The Kansas City–based company has no SBA set-aside designations and competes exclusively under unrestricted (no-set-aside) awards, with recent work anchored to Veterans Affairs facilities, federal correctional institutions, and federal records centers.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on the Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 at Leavenworth, Kansas, which accounts for 18 awards and $1.1 million in combined potential value across the top customers by award count. However, the dollar-value ranking surfaces a different concentration: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City leads with six awards and $3.4 million, followed by the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 6 with five awards and $1.4 million, then VA VISN 15 at $1.1 million. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Leavenworth places four awards worth $618 thousand combined. These five customers account for 84% of combined potential value across the entire award footprint.

Deffenbaugh's work sits on five named parent indefinite delivery contracts. The largest is an IDC awarded January 1, 2026, valued at $575,103.68 for landfill disposal services at Federal Correctional Institution Leavenworth through December 31, 2030 (Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons). A second single-award IDC, awarded June 1, 2026, valued at $60,387.25, covers refuse and recycling collection at Leavenworth National Cemetery through May 31, 2031 (National Cemetery Administration), with weekly general waste pickups and on-call roll-off dumpster services. The vendor also places delivery orders against IDCs 36C77020D0012 (seven task orders, $527 thousand), VA25516D0208 (five task orders, $43 thousand), and DABT1900D1005 (nine task orders, no value stated). Representative awards include a $39,636.96 solid waste and recycling delivery order to VA VISN 15 awarded January 31, 2026 (ultimate completion January 30, 2027), a $61,756.80 trash disposal purchase order to the National Archives and Records Administration for the Lenexa Federal Records Center awarded May 1, 2023 (extending through April 30, 2028), and quarterly trash service delivery orders to U.S. Penitentiary Leavenworth ranging from $13,500 to $14,947.26.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2026: the vendor secured only one award per year from 2022 through 2025, then placed seven awards in the first half of 2026. The award footprint spans 137 prime contracts with 22 distinct customer agencies and a combined potential value of $8.1 million (with $9.7 million obligated, indicating mature, invoiced contracts). Capacity concentrates in Solid Waste Collection (46 awards under NAICS 562111) and Specialized Freight Trucking (10 awards). The recompete cliff exposes four awards (combined potential value $125 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
