Navajo Sanitation, Inc.

Navajo Sanitation, Inc., a Navajo Nation–owned Native American small disadvantaged business headquartered in Window Rock, Arizona, operates as a prime contractor providing solid waste collection, refuse disposal, and recycling services exclusively to federal agencies operating on tribal lands in the Southwest, with 506 awards across the past several years in a highly specialized niche serving Indian Health Service facilities, Bureau of Indian Education schools, and Bureau of Indian Affairs administrative locations.

Navajo Sanitation is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation certified as an Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, and self-certified small disadvantaged business. The company's federal footprint is concentrated in the Solid Waste Collection space (NAICS 562111, PSC S205), with 470 of 506 awards targeting housekeeping and trash/garbage collection at federal facilities serving Native American communities. The vendor competes almost entirely under set-aside vehicles—predominantly Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides with recurring Buy Indian designations—and does not pursue full-and-open federal solicitations.

Customer concentration is high and stable. The top three funding agencies account for 83% of recent awards by count and 87% of combined potential value. The Indian Health Service leads by award volume (214 awards, $20 million potential value), followed closely by the Bureau of Indian Education (73 awards, $20.9 million potential value) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region (96 awards, $13.1 million potential value). The remaining top-tier customers—the Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office and the National Park Service Intermountain Region—represent $5.8 million of the remaining identified value. Representative work includes a $2.28 million Indian Health Service award exercising a second option period for solid waste collection at Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility through December 2026; a $1.17 million Bureau of Indian Education contract (October 2025) for refuse collection across seven schools in the Shiprock area (New Mexico, Arizona, Utah); a $854.9 thousand Bureau of Indian Education award (October 2026) covering six Southwest schools under an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside; and a $351.3 thousand National Park Service award (April 2026) for annual trash and recycling services across Canyon De Chelly National Monument, Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, and Navajo National Monument under Total Small Business set-aside.

Navajo Sanitation holds one named parent vehicle: a Blanket Purchase Agreement (HHSI245200530200B) under the Indian Health Service, with 11 task orders. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor; 100% of awards are prime, with zero subcontract activity in the portfolio and zero subcontractor engagement reported in the Service Contract Inventory data.

Award activity has declined modestly from 21 awards in 2022 to 13 in 2026. Twenty-three awards (combined potential value $9 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data captures only $186 thousand in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in FY2025 across 4.7 FTEs delivered to federal government service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. This narrow SCI capture reflects the vendor's reliance on short-term purchase orders and goods procurement (which SCI excludes) rather than large federal service contracts; SCI is not representative of the vendor's total federal revenue or workforce. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor engages zero subcontractors (0% sub-hours share).

Navajo Sanitation performs all work directly without subcontractors. The source notes the company has secured "over 100 federal prime contract awards since its registration in December 2003" across its operational lifetime, with substantial activity between 2021 and 2025. The vendor's geographic footprint spans Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, with administrative headquarters in Window Rock and performance concentrated at federal facilities on Navajo Nation lands and surrounding tribal territories. The company is well-established in the Indian economic enterprise space and a key environmental services partner for federal agencies serving remote and underserved Native American communities.
