Stericycle Inc.

Stericycle Inc. Fedgov NON GSA Division, doing business as Stericycle, Inc., is a large-business prime contractor providing on-site and off-site document shredding, secure destruction of sensitive records, hazardous waste pickup, and biohazard removal to federal civilian and defense agencies. A child entity of Waste Management Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Fairfield, Ohio, Stericycle competes full-and-open across purchase orders and task orders with no set-aside designations, serving 66 federal customer agencies through primary NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services) and PSC R614 (Support-Administrative: Paper Shredding).

Stericycle's federal work centers on secure document destruction compliant with HIPAA, VA Directive 6371, and federal records management protocols. Representative prime contracts include a $1.45 million definitive contract with the Social Security Administration for Atlanta region shredding services (base year plus four one-year options through March 2028); a $1.01 million definitive with SSA Region 6 offices in Dallas covering 50,000 pounds monthly document volumes through July 2028; a $367 thousand purchase order with Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 for six VA locations in central California through May 2025; a $229 thousand order with VISN 21 for Fresno VAMC and surrounding facilities through November 2026; and a $225 thousand National Labor Relations Board order for on-demand and recurring shredding across 47 nationwide locations through May 2031. Stericycle also holds a June 2026 BPA with SSA's Northeast Region valued at $1.56 million for field and hearing offices across fourteen states and DC (base year plus four options through November 2031), and an October 2021 BPA with Air Education and Training Command for HIPAA-compliant document disposal at Joint Base San Antonio valued at $60 thousand through October 2026. Recent smaller awards include a $86.5 thousand Department of the Navy Pearl Harbor shredding order covering twenty-three locations through June 2030, an $83.5 thousand VISN 23 Sioux Falls VA definitive contract for 65,000 pounds annually through November 2030, and a $56.5 thousand Indian Health Service document destruction order in Crownpoint, New Mexico through December 2028.

Customer concentration is distributed across federal civilian and correctional agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 64 percent of awards: the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration leads with 69 awards ($459 thousand combined potential value), followed by VA National Cemetery Administration (50 awards, $55 thousand), DOJ US Attorney's Offices (37 awards, $262 thousand), FEMA (11 awards, $17 thousand), and the Social Security Administration (8 awards, $4.8 million combined potential value). By dollar magnitude, SSA dominates at $4.8 million across eight awards, followed by VISN 23 at $1.3 million, VISN 15 at $1 million, VISN 21 at $597 thousand, and DEA at $459 thousand. The DEA concentration reflects 69 recurring monthly and bimonthly task orders across field divisions, typically valued between $1,200 and $13,400 per order.

Stericycle holds two parent vehicles: a single-award VA National Cemetery Administration BPA (36C78621A0014) generating 48 task orders valued at $54 thousand, and an indefinite delivery contract with Joint Munitions Command (W52P1J18D3019) with 6 task orders worth $38 thousand. The BPA work consists of small quarterly orders for cemetery shredding and document destruction across national cemetery locations in Midwest and Pacific districts, individual order values typically ranging from $300 to $3,750. The IDC supports recurring shredding at Rock Island, Illinois.

Activity has remained stable year over year—41 to 40 awards annually from 2022 through 2025—with 19 awards recorded in 2026 as of October 15. Fifteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.9 million, representing modest recompete exposure centered on SSA, VA, and DEA vehicles. Stericycle subcontracts to Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (a federally funded research and development center) for three years of onsite document destruction at Pittsburgh and Arlington VA offices (May 2025 through April 2028), and to Professional Contract Services, Inc. for document shredding services under option year funding.

Stericycle's award footprint is heavily concentrated in administrative support services and trash/garbage collection: 232 of 275 awards fall under NAICS 561990, 13 under facilities support services, and five under nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal. PSC coding reflects the same concentration: 183 awards under R614 (paper shredding), 49 under R799 (trash/garbage collection), 10 under professional support, and 9 under management support. The firm does not appear on government-wide acquisition contracts or major multi-agency vehicles; its footprint is dominated by single-agency BPAs and purchase orders, indicating a transactional rather than enterprise relationship model with federal customers.
