Giordano Company Inc.

Giordano Company Inc., a Newark, New Jersey-based waste management services provider, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering cardboard, co-mingled paper, and solid waste removal services to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2). The company competes without set-aside designation on the majority of its work, though it holds a Total Small Business set-aside IDC awarded in August 2026.

Giordano's customer base is entirely concentrated within a single federal entity — all thirteen prime awards across the source record have been issued by VISN 2 for waste management support at VA medical campuses in East Orange and Lyons, New Jersey. The vendor operates under three active indefinite delivery contracts: the primary IDC 36C24221D0103 (originally awarded June 2021 with a $1.82 million ceiling), now renewed as IDC 36C24226D0087 under Total Small Business set-aside with a $2.69 million ceiling running through June 2031; a bridge IDC 36C24226D0048 ($285 thousand, expired May 2026); and the predecessor single-award vehicle. Recent work includes a $509 thousand delivery order under the August 2026 Total Small Business IDC for ongoing cardboard, co-mingled paper, and solid waste removal at both campuses through August 2031, a $180 thousand short-term delivery order under the April 2026 bridge IDC, and a $193 thousand delivery order from October 2025 for the same scope at East Orange. Combined potential value across all awards sits at $11 million, with $4.4 million obligated to date (40% utilization).

Activity has accelerated in 2026 — the vendor received four awards in the most recent calendar year compared to one per year in 2022–2025. NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and PSC S205 (Housekeeping—Trash/Garbage Collection) define the entire portfolio. Giordano carries no subcontractor relationships; the company delivers collection, sorting, and disposal operations directly while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Service Contract Act prevailing wage requirements apply, with hourly rates in the East Orange area ranging from $16.68 to $61.13 by occupation, plus $5.55 per hour health and welfare fringe benefits. The vendor has maintained an exclusive relationship with VISN 2 since 2009 and holds no federal vehicles, parent contract positions, or customer diversification outside the New Jersey VA medical infrastructure.
