Krätz GMBH

Kratz GMBH Division of Krätz GMBH, a Germany-registered family-owned environmental and sanitation services company, operates as a prime contractor delivering waste management, portable facility rental, and facility support services to U.S. Army installations across Germany. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations, having secured 1,891 prime awards totaling $123.9 million in combined potential value since 2004.

Kratz GMBH's capability footprint centers on concrete waste-management and temporary-sanitation infrastructure. The company provides refuse collection and recycling, portable latrine and handwashing station rental and maintenance, food waste disposal, grease collection and disposal, hazardous sludge management, and wastewater treatment services. Representative work includes a $749.4 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Army's European Region (awarded July 1, 2024) for refuse collection and recycling at U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria Hohenfels through June 30, 2025; a $282.7 thousand order (April 7, 2026) for rental of 427 portable chemical latrines at Joint Multinational Readiness Center Hohenfels in support of exercise CBR 26-7; and a $535.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded September 2, 2025, for collection, transportation, and disposal of wash rack sludge and maintenance of wastewater systems at multiple installations through September 1, 2026.

Customer concentration is highly specialized by geography and command. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Europe Region dominates with 1,442 awards (76% of award count) and $101.2 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command follows with 158 awards and $13.8 million, and the Department of the Army European Command with 257 awards and $7.9 million. All eight distinct customer agencies served are Army commands in or supporting European operations; Kratz GMBH has no significant transactional footprint with other federal agencies or departments.

Kratz GMBH operates under five primary indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract W912PB18D3001 with 912 task orders generating $10.6 million in combined potential value. W912PB23D3012 anchors 217 task orders worth $8.8 million, and W912PB18D3019 carries 114 task orders valued at $10.4 million. These IDCs permit the Army to issue delivery orders for environmental services as operational needs arise across multiple installation locations.

Activity has declined markedly. The vendor recorded 274 awards in 2022, 220 in 2023, 114 in 2024, 63 in 2025, and only 27 through May 2026. This trajectory reflects completion of larger multi-year IDC vehicles and shift toward smaller, higher-frequency task orders. Within the next twenty-four months, only four awards with combined potential value of $696 thousand are scheduled for ultimate completion, yielding minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

Kratz GMBH is not a subcontractor; the vendor has no documented sub-award footprint. Work is performed exclusively at Germany-based U.S. Army installations, primarily Army Garrison Bavaria, Grafenwoehr Training Area, Hohenfels Army Base, and the Joint Multinational Readiness Center. The vendor has maintained continuous System for Award Management registration since May 2003, demonstrating persistent market presence and operational stability supporting U.S. military logistics and base operations in the European theater for over two decades.
