Golden Heart Waste Management LLC

Golden Heart Waste Management LLC, a Fairbanks, Alaska-based small business, provides dumpster rental, delivery, pickup, and waste disposal services to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, operating under Total Small Business set-asides on the vast majority of recent awards. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation with no SBA 8(a) or other formal set-aside certifications beyond small-business status; it competes under total-small-business set-asides across its entire prime footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically focused. The Department of the Army Pacific Command accounts for 32 of 41 awards (78% of the portfolio) worth $7.4 million in combined potential value. The remaining customer base—the Defense Commissary Agency, Defense Health Agency, Army Communications Electronics Command, Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region, and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region—collectively represent 7% of total awards and 9% of potential value. This concentration reflects Golden Heart's positioning as a regional waste-management provider anchored to Army installations across Alaska, with secondary work supporting federal healthcare facilities and commissaries in the same geography.

Recent work is representative: a $345.3 thousand single-award purchase order from Army Pacific Command (January 2024) for dumpster lease and hauling supporting the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center 24-2 exercise at Fort Wainwright; a $260.5 thousand purchase order (December 2024) for refuse collection services across Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, and the Yukon Training Area; a $170.5 thousand delivery order (January 2026) for dumpster services at Fort Yukon; an $94.8 thousand purchase order (February 2025) from the Defense Health Agency for mobile document shredding services at Bassett Army Community Hospital, Fort Wainwright, running through February 2030; and a $161.7 thousand purchase order (October 2025) from the Defense Commissary Agency for trash removal services at Fort Wainwright Commissary through September 2030.

Golden Heart holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912D025DA004) issued by Army Pacific Command on August 1, 2025, with a $6.58 million ceiling and performance running through July 31, 2028. Nine task orders totaling $214 thousand in potential value have been issued against this IDV to date, positioning it as the vendor's primary vehicle for continued Army waste-disposal work in Alaska. The IDC structure allows the government to call dumpster services as field-exercise and installation requirements arise across Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, and the Yukon Training Area.

Activity has grown modestly—one award in 2022, nine in 2023, fourteen in 2024, eleven in 2025, and three year-to-date in 2026 as of early May. The combined potential value across all forty-one awards is $8.1 million, with $1.3 million obligated (16% realization). Place of performance spans Alaska installations (Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, Yukon Training Area) and one reference to San Dimas, California for commissary work. Golden Heart operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract relationships documented in the source, delivering waste services end-to-end with internal labor and equipment.
