Crystal Clean, LLC

Crystal Clean, LLC, a for-profit environmental services contractor headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, operates as a subsidiary of Asphalt Materials, Inc. and delivers hazardous waste removal, parts washer maintenance, solvent supply and disposal, and chemical waste management services to federal agencies entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor competes predominately in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation across 201 awards spanning two decades of federal contracting presence.

Crystal Clean's customer base spans 41 distinct federal agencies, with concentration in civilian environmental compliance work. The top five customers by award count account for 32% of awards: the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Investigative and Enforcement Services (16 awards, $2.1 million combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (16 awards, $694 thousand), the Marine Corps (15 awards, $812 thousand), the Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey (9 awards, $585 thousand), and the Department of the Army (9 awards, $207 thousand). Dollar concentration diverges sharply — the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 86% of combined potential value through just two awards totaling $41.8 million on the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract, leaving the remaining 199 awards distributed across smaller tactical task orders for site-specific hazmat disposal and parts washer maintenance. The vendor holds a $2 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Air Force Reserve Command for parts washer service at Air Force Reserve facilities (awarded July 2024, running through May 2029) and a $450 thousand single-award BPA with GSA's Office of Acquisitions and Grants for hazardous waste removal through July 2026. Most task orders flow through the GSA MAS parent vehicle (24 task orders, $3.5 million combined potential value), with smaller volumes under two indefinite delivery contracts.

Representative work includes a $1.452 million delivery order from USDA Veterinary Services for hazardous waste removal services running through January 2029, a $163,391.90 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Test and Evaluation Command for solvent supply and disposal at Aberdeen Proving Ground maintenance shops (September 2025 through September 2029), a $115,354.45 total-small-business purchase order from the Coast Guard for monthly parts washer maintenance and solvent services at Coast Guard facilities (October 2021 through March 2026), a $90,858.24 delivery order from Naval Special Warfare Command for aqueous parts cleaner lease under the ISO LOGSU2 program (April 2025 through April 2028), and a $73,724.88 rental and support services order from the Coast Guard Base Portsmouth for naptha solvent sink-on-drum washers and equipment maintenance (April 2026 through April 2031). Smaller awards populate the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service portfolio, including discrete hazmat removal calls at field stations for formamide, ethidium bromide, chloral hydrate-containing mounting media, and used petroleum fluid disposal across facilities in Colorado, Washington, Iowa, and Puerto Rico, typically ranging $1 thousand to $35 thousand per call.

Activity has grown substantially — six awards in 2022 to 23 in 2024 — but 2025 and 2026 have moderated to 11 and 8 awards respectively, suggesting potential near-term volume contraction. Five awards carrying combined potential value of $424 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio clusters in two principal categories: hazardous waste collection (81 awards) and commercial/industrial machinery repair and maintenance (22 awards), with secondary work in equipment rental and leasing and other waste collection. PSC distribution reflects the same concentration — Environmental Systems Protection and Environmental Remediation (54 awards), Other Environmental Services (32 awards), and Maintenance and Repair Shop Equipment (19 awards). All work is performed full-and-open; no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other set-aside designation appears across the entire portfolio. The corporate structure names Mirachem, LLC as a subsidiary, though no recent awards explicitly reference Mirachem as a prime or sub.
