First Call Environmental LLC

First Call Environmental LLC (doing business as FCE), a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ashland, Virginia, delivers hazardous materials handling, containment, transportation, and disposal services to federal law enforcement and tax agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open competition without set-aside protections. FCE is structured as a limited liability company and has held federal contractor registration since 2011.

FCE's customer concentration is extreme: 96% of awards (25 of 26 total) and 98% of combined potential value ($232 thousand of $237 thousand) derive from the Drug Enforcement Administration, with a single $5 thousand award from the Internal Revenue Service rounding out the customer set. This mono-customer posture reflects FCE's specialized capability in managing seized drug precursors, contaminated equipment, and hazardous substances encountered during DEA enforcement operations. Representative work includes a $30.4 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from DEA (awarded November 30, 2023, with ultimate completion April 11, 2025) for hazardous materials handling and disposal; a $22.6 thousand order (November 3, 2022) covering the same scope; a $21.6 thousand order (May 27, 2025, completing May 27, 2026) for hazardous materials handling and disposal; and a $13.9 thousand order (June 6, 2023, completing December 17, 2025) for the same services. Individual purchase orders typically range from $3 thousand to $30 thousand, with firm-fixed-price terms and performance periods spanning six to twelve months. Work is performed at multiple locations, including Ashland and West Springfield, Virginia, and Pleasantville, New Jersey.

FCE operates entirely as a prime contractor (26 awards, 100% of portfolio) on standalone DEA purchase orders. The vendor does not sit on any government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; all awards are direct purchase orders issued without set-aside designations. Activity has been irregular but is tracking upward in recent years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, six in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — though the absolute dollar base remains modest. Over the next twenty-four months, three awards (combined potential value $16 thousand) face ultimate completion and therefore recompete exposure. All $237 thousand in combined potential value has been obligated; the vendor carries no unexercised ceiling. Primary capability framing centers on environmental systems protection and environmental remediation (26 awards); category concentration shows 11 awards classified under hazardous waste treatment and disposal, 10 under hazardous waste collection, and 3 under remediation services. FCE competes in open bidding processes for these specialized services despite small disadvantaged business self-certification, indicating pricing and technical execution competitive with larger firms in the niche hazardous-waste-management space for federal law enforcement operations.
