Set Environmental Inc.

Set Environmental Inc., a Wheeling, Illinois-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, provides hazardous waste disposal, regulated waste shipment, environmental remediation, and emergency spill response services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The company competes across all business categories without SBA certifications and has maintained SAM.gov registration since August 2001.

Set Environmental's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and law enforcement agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 55% of recent awards by count and 85% by combined potential value. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration leads by dollars with 97 awards totaling $16 million in combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 116 awards (though valued at only $25 thousand combined). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard contributes 15 awards worth $12 million combined potential value. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Franchise Acquisition Services has placed 50 awards worth $2.9 million combined potential value, and the Non-Franchise Acquisition Services program has issued 23 awards worth $1.7 million combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service accounts for two awards worth $6.9 million combined potential value. This split—DLA's volume paired with DEA's dollar dominance, and Coast Guard's significant single-contract value—reveals exposure across tactical emergency response work (DEA, DHS), facility-level hazardous waste management (FAA), and specialized environmental remediation (USDA, DOI).

Set Environmental's primary vehicle footprint centers on blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts with civilian and defense agencies. The vendor places 72 task orders under the Blanket Purchase Agreement DJDEAHQ060009BPA (DEA-led), 39 task orders under FAA Indefinite Delivery Contract DTFAAC15D00034 worth $1.2 million combined potential value, and 35 task orders under FAA Indefinite Delivery Contract 6973GH20D00049 worth $810 thousand combined potential value. A newly awarded single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the FAA (6973GH-25-R-00129), effective July 1, 2025, carries a ceiling value of $1,278,892.28 through July 15, 2030, for comprehensive hazardous waste disposal at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City with 23 primary contract line items covering corrosive cleaning liquids, solvents, waste fuels, paint-related materials, universal waste batteries, and potentially infectious materials, plus quarterly waste removal and 24/7 emergency response capabilities within a 60-mile radius. Set Environmental also holds a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the U.S. Coast Guard (April 25, 2024) valued at $3,990,000 through April 24, 2027, for oil spill and hazardous chemical incident mitigation in the Great Lakes region as directed by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator.

Recent concrete work illustrates Set Environmental's operating footprint. Under the FAA IDC, the company has executed multiple delivery orders for regulated waste shipment and battery/PCB disposal from the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, ranging from $3,277 (garnet sludge pickup and disposal) to $44,916.70 (AJW and HWB battery shipments). Under the DEA blanket purchase agreement, Set Environmental provides hazardous materials destruction services. The vendor also holds individual purchase orders with the Federal Correctional Institution Bastrop (Department of Justice) for hazardous waste disposal, valued at $18,246.29 to $29,772.94 per order, and a $51,161.75 purchase order from the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 for gas spill remediation in Windom, Minnesota (June 2025). Emergency response work includes a $24,982.16 purchase order from a civilian Midwest Area office for urgent chemical spill cleanup in Morris, Minnesota (July 2025).

Activity has remained flat over the past five years—8 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 11 in 2024, declining to 9 in 2025 and 3 in the first quarter of 2026—suggesting mature customer relationships without expansion trajectory. The vendor's recompete cliff carries minimal near-term exposure; only one award with a combined potential value of $20 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Set Environmental's sub engagement is negligible: three sub-awards with Weston Solutions Inc. on Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 CERCLA emergency response and remediation tasks (October 2024, November 2024, February 2025) represent only 1% of the vendor's recent portfolio. The vendor's capability focus—hazardous waste treatment and disposal (303 awards), hazardous waste collection (91 awards), and remediation services (29 awards)—reflects a specialized, non-diversified business model anchored to federal facility waste streams, emergency environmental incident response, and hazmat destruction services without IT, engineering, or professional services breadth.
