Mark Dunning Industries

Mark Dunning Industries, doing business as Mark Dunning, is a small business prime contractor providing integrated solid waste management, refuse collection, recycling, dumpster rental, and debris removal services to Department of Defense installations and federal facilities across the southeastern United States, operating predominantly under total small business set-asides on single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts.

Based in Dothan, Alabama, Mark Dunning Industries is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation specializing in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and PSC Housekeeping codes. The vendor competes almost exclusively under total small business set-asides; 809 recent awards (100% prime) reflect a pure facilities support model with no subcontract activity. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and operates as an established small business within the DoD waste management marketplace.

Mark Dunning Industries serves 36 distinct federal agencies but operates with extreme customer concentration driven by geography and military installation density in the Southeast. The top five funding entities account for 80% of award count: the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (179 awards, $58 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army (148 awards), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (111 awards, $130.2 million), the Department of the Navy (110 awards), and Navy Installations Command (103 awards, $43.3 million). Notably, Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates potential value at $130.2 million across 111 awards despite lower award count than Army Southeast Region, reflecting larger per-order values. The vendor's footprint is anchored to Army and Navy regions in the Southeast (Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Alabama) with secondary presence at Air Force installations.

Mark Dunning Industries holds five significant active indefinite delivery contracts as prime. The largest are a $6.624 million single-award total small business IDC with Navy Installations Command for integrated solid waste management at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Naval Air Station Whiting Field, and outlying Florida areas (ultimate completion September 30, 2029) and a $6.544 million single-award total small business IDC with the Department of Defense Northeast Region for refuse and recycling services at Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia (ultimate completion July 31, 2029). Three additional IDCs include a $4.924 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command contract for integrated solid waste management at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Naval Air Station Kingsville, and South Texas locations (ultimate completion March 31, 2031), a $3.563 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command contract for services at Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport, Mississippi (through September 30, 2027, extended through Option Period 3/Year 4), and a $3.782 million Air Force Global Strike Command contract for integrated waste management at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico (through February 28, 2027). The top five parent vehicles by task order volume are IDC N6945011D7577 (116 task orders, $57.6 million), IDC W9124G11D0005 (57 task orders, $2.4 million), IDC W911SF11D0006 (53 task orders, $9.5 million), IDC N6945022D0036 (46 task orders, $2.6 million), and IDC W911SF07D0002 (43 task orders, $5 million), demonstrating broad execution across Army and Navy regional waste management vehicles.

Recent activity shows marked decline. Award volume fell from 27 in FY2023 to 25 in FY2024, then dropped sharply to 13 in FY2025, with only 3 awards in FY2026 year-to-date (through mid-September). Only 4 awards worth $7.6 million combined potential value face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure but also signaling lower near-term work inflow. Representative work includes a $5.219 million definitive contract with Air Education and Training Command for integrated solid waste management at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi (through September 30, 2030), a $2.008 million definitive contract with Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for solid waste disposal at Brunswick, Georgia (through September 30, 2028), a $1.817 million definitive contract with the Army Southeast Region for refuse services at Fort Rucker, Alabama (through February 29, 2028), and multiple renewal task orders totaling millions annually across Navy installations in the Southeast and South Texas regions.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI-reportable federal services revenue: $199 thousand invoiced in FY2022 against 1.0 FTE, with zero invoicing in FY2023 and FY2024, then 0.8 FTEs reported in FY2025. The vendor's SCI footprint does not capture the bulk of its federal activity — the source reflects goods procurement (equipment, containers, dumpsters) and firm fixed-price task orders that fall below or outside SCI reporting thresholds. On the one SCI-reportable record carrying labor rates, government-paid pricing ran $94.14 per hour. Mark Dunning Industries operates as a pure prime on all federal awards with no subcontractor engagement, delivering waste management through its own labor and owned or rented equipment.
