Arcwood Environmental, LLC

Arcwood Environmental, LLC, a for-profit subsidiary of Heritage Environmental Services, LLC headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, delivers hazardous waste removal, industrial cleaning, and environmental remediation services to the federal government as a prime contractor on over 2,000 delivery orders, purchase orders, and blanket purchase agreement calls, competing in the open market without set-aside designations.

Arcwood Environmental is the operating subsidiary within the Heritage Environmental Services corporate structure and competes exclusively as a prime contractor—not a subcontractor—across its federal work. The vendor specializes in concrete capability delivery: hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, waste characterization, container management, transportation, emergency response, disposal, industrial cleaning, and remediation services at federal facilities nationwide. Recent representative work includes a $244.7 million delivery order for environmental services across Drug Enforcement Administration facilities (October 2025–September 2026), a $1.51 million delivery order for environmental services in Red Bluff, California from Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (December 2025), and a $76.8 million delivery order for environmental services in Sacramento, California from DLA Disposition Services (August 2025). The vendor also holds a $2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Investigative and Enforcement Services division for hazardous waste removal through May 31, 2029, and operates under multiple indefinite delivery contracts across DLA Disposition Services.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services and the Drug Enforcement Administration. DLA Disposition Services accounts for 1,573 awards (76% of prime awards) worth $51 million combined potential value; DEA accounts for 346 awards worth $113.7 million combined potential value. Together these two agencies represent 88% of awards and 78% of potential dollars. The split reflects different order patterns: DLA issues numerous small task orders (median order value ~$5,000–$10,000 for non-RCRA waste, industrial cleaning, and specialized disposal); DEA issues larger annual delivery orders (median $170,000–$250,000) for environmental services at investigative facilities. The remaining top customers—the U.S. Marine Corps ($31.4 million across 16 awards), Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($10.7 million across 12 awards), and the U.S. Coast Guard ($5 million across 10 awards)—represent defense and maritime operations.

The vendor's primary parent vehicles are five DLA Disposition Services indefinite delivery contracts. Indefinite Delivery Contract SP450020D0003 carries 588 task orders valued at $3.6 million combined potential; SP450017D0011 carries 280 task orders for $2.2 million; SP450023D0025 carries 276 task orders for $1.7 million; SP450016D0008 carries 121 task orders for $850 thousand; and SP450016D1001 carries 115 task orders for $1.8 million. Arcwood also operates under several DEA blanket purchase agreements, including 15DDHQ20D00000006, 15DDHQ20D00000008, 15DDHQ20D00000009, 15DDHQ20D00000010, and 15DDHQ20D00000011, which serve as parent vehicles for state-specific and regional delivery orders.

Activity trajectory shows year-over-year decline. The vendor received 332 awards in 2022, declining to 201 in 2023, recovering to 260 in 2024, then falling to 179 in 2025, and tracking at 52 year-to-date in 2026. Over the next 24 months, 112 awards carrying $3.6 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion, creating recompete exposure in both the DLA Disposition Services and DEA portfolios.

Service Contract Inventory captures minimal activity: one SCI record in FY2024, recorded as a subcontractor engagement (0 FTEs as prime, 1 FTE equivalent sub record). SCI does not capture Arcwood's large-volume federal waste-disposal work because most awards fall below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or are classified as goods (e.g., disposal of used oil filters, ballast capacitors) rather than services. The award data—not SCI—is the accurate reflection of Arcwood's federal footprint.

Arcwood Environmental competes in the full-and-open market without small business set-asides. The company operates as a prime contractor exclusively; it does not function as a feeder subcontractor. Two recent sub-awards appear in the source—one to General Dynamics Land Systems (M1 Abrams vehicle work, September 2025) and one to Battelle National Biodefense Institute for sterilized lab waste disposal (June 2025)—but these represent Arcwood as the named sub on larger primes, not Arcwood's characteristic role. Arcwood's posture is to win and execute prime task orders independently across a sprawling landscape of small-dollar environmental service calls, particularly within the DLA Disposition Services IDV ecosystem.
