Netzero Recycling Inc.

Netzero Recycling Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Billings, Montana, provides on-site recycling and waste-stream management services for federal wildland fire operations and incident base camps as a prime contractor. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint and competes predominantly under full-and-open designations, though it holds a small-business-set-aside IDC vehicle with the National Interagency Fire Center.

Netzero's customer base is entirely concentrated within the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) leads in both award count and potential value, with 2 awards worth $640 thousand combined; the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 1 award (the parent IDC vehicle) worth $250 thousand; and Regions 1, 3, and 4 round out the portfolio with scattered awards totaling $247 thousand. This concentration reflects the vendor's strategic focus on wildfire-support services across geographically dispersed incident sites.

Netzero holds a single indefinite delivery contract with the National Interagency Fire Center, valued at $250 thousand with a small-business set-aside designation and running through June 30, 2025. This IDC has generated 3 delivery orders totaling $677 thousand in combined potential value. Representative work includes a $540 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded July 23, 2024, for on-site recycling services in Springfield, Oregon (completed September 28, 2024); a $99.7 thousand delivery order from Region 6 for services in Lakeview, Oregon (September 29, 2024); and a $157 thousand purchase order from the National Interagency Fire Center, Region 3 (Southwestern), awarded August 13, 2026, for recycling solutions at incident base camps in Santa Fe, New Mexico (September 5, 2026). Combined potential value across all six awards is $1.1 million, with $887 thousand obligated. Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award per year in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — with no growth trajectory evident. The vendor's work is classified primarily under Facilities Support Services (NAICS, 4 awards) and Solid Waste Collection (2 awards), with corresponding PSC codes for forest-range fire suppression and trash/garbage collection. The parent IDC vehicle completes June 30, 2025, creating a near-term recompete exposure.
