First Call Environmental LLC

First Call Environmental LLC, doing business as FCE, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and limited liability partnership headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, that has maintained active federal contractor status since March 2011. The company specializes in hazardous materials handling, containment, transportation, and disposal services, providing critical environmental support to federal law enforcement and other government agencies. FCE's core competency centers on the safe management of hazardous substances, including seized materials and contaminated equipment, positioning the firm as a specialized vendor in the niche market of federal hazardous waste remediation and disposal services.

FCE has secured 17 federal contract awards exclusively from two federal agencies: the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All awards to FCE have been firm-fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designations, demonstrating the company's competitive positioning in open bidding processes despite its small disadvantaged business classification. The contract awards range in value from $3,606.48 to $30,432.45, with the majority clustered between $4,000 and $23,000, reflecting the specialized and typically localized nature of hazardous materials disposal operations. FCE's work has encompassed emergency leaking battery repairs, packaging and transportation of seized hazardous materials from law enforcement operations, proper containment and disposal of chemically contaminated equipment, and site-specific cleanup operations at locations including Ashland Virginia, Pleasantville New Jersey, Ocean Gate New Jersey, and Annandale Virginia. The awards span from 2021 through November 2024, with performance periods generally ranging from 6 to 12 months, and FCE has demonstrated sustained relationship management with the DEA through recurring contracts with consistent requestors such as Robert A. Pangelinan. The company's track record reflects reliable execution of critical environmental compliance services that support federal agency operations in managing potentially hazardous substances encountered during law enforcement activities.
