NRC Environmental Services Inc.

NRC Environmental Services Inc. Es Seattle Division, doing business as NRC, provides hazardous waste handling, removal, transportation, disposal, equipment decontamination, macroencapsulation of contaminated materials, PCB and PFAS remediation, and environmental testing services to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a Seattle-based subsidiary of US Ecology, Inc., a for-profit corporation, and competes in the commercial environmental services marketplace without reliance on SBA designations.

NRC's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in hazardous waste and environmental remediation work. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services valued at $18,828,330.50 and effective through November 2027 — the vendor's dominant contract vehicle. Under this parent IDC, DLA Disposition Services has issued 675 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $9.3 million for comprehensive environmental and waste management services at the Bremerton, Washington facility. Representative delivery orders include environmental remediation work for PFAS liquids and solids ($9,702 ceiling), sheet tile demilitarization and macroencapsulation ($10,489.60 ceiling), PCB waste management ($2,688.50 ceiling), and bioassay and fish toxicity testing ($4,158 ceiling). DLA Disposition Services dominates the customer base, representing 676 of 707 awards in the source and $28.2 million of the $28.9 million combined potential value. Place of performance is concentrated at Bremerton, Washington, where NRC operates as an on-site environmental contractor managing hazardous waste streams, contaminated material remediation, and facility environmental compliance across defense industrial operations.

Secondary customer relationships are substantially smaller. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration holds a single-award BPA with NRC valued at $250,000 and effective through September 2028 for nationwide hazardous waste removal services; NOAA has issued 9 task orders under this vehicle with approximately $115 thousand combined potential value for hazardous waste pickup and removal services at NOAA facilities in the Pacific Northwest (Montlake, Newport, Port Orchard, Pasco, Washington). The U.S. Coast Guard represents a minor customer with 13 awards totaling $125 thousand combined potential value. The vendor's portfolio spans 9 distinct federal agencies, but 99% of awards concentrate on the DLA relationship.

Award trajectory shows sustained federal activity. NRC has received an average of 172 awards annually across 2023–2025, with 224 awards in 2025 and 60 in the first quarter of 2026. However, these figures reflect DLA's frequent micro-task orders against the parent IDC rather than large contract vehicles; the 675 DLA task orders carry an average ceiling of approximately $13,800, indicating transactional ordering for discrete waste streams and environmental services at the Bremerton facility. Combined potential value across all 707 awards stands at $28.9 million, with $9.9 million obligated (34% realization), reflecting the typical cash flow lag on delivery-order-based IDC vehicles.

The vendor's NAICS concentration is extreme: 678 of 707 awards carry the Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal category; 18 carry Hazardous Waste Collection. PSC coding reinforces this focus — 676 awards are coded to Housekeeping–Waste Treatment/Storage. The vendor's entire federal profile is environment-specific, with no diversification into broader facilities management, IT, or consulting work. Within the next twenty-four months, 116 awards with a combined potential value of $1.2 million face ultimate completion and therefore recompete exposure; the IDC with DLA remains active through November 2027, mitigating immediate recompete cliff risk at the top customer level.

NRC disclosed one sub-award in the source: a $23 thousand sub-contract to Ch2M Hill, Inc., for PFAS remediation services and community outreach support under a Navy environmental remediation project awarded in October 2025. This represents less than 0.1% of the vendor's portfolio and signals that NRC competes primarily as a prime rather than in a subcontractor capacity.
