Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC

Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC Corporate Headquarters Division delivers hazardous and non-hazardous waste removal, treatment, characterization, and disposal services to the Department of Defense as a foreign-owned prime contractor, operating exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements with no subcontractor footprint in its federal work.

Tradebe is a foreign-owned, for-profit entity headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana, with two named subsidiaries: Tradebe Treatment And Recycling, LLC and Aaron Oil Co, LLC. The vendor's federal work concentrates overwhelmingly on NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), with 3,887 of 3,894 total prime awards falling into that category. The company operates as a prime contractor exclusively—3,894 awards are prime, zero are subcontractor roles—and competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

Tradebe's customer footprint is monolithic: the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services accounts for 3,868 of 3,894 awards (99.3%) and 118.2 million dollars of the 120.4 million dollar combined potential value across all awards. The remaining 26 awards scatter across the Department of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, and Coast Guard, each carrying sub-$1 million combined values. This extreme concentration means Tradebe is effectively a specialized vendor to DLA's defense waste-management mission.

Tradebe's primary vehicle footprint sits on five DLA indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs), each a single-award vehicle. The largest by task-order volume is IDC SP450022D0010, which carries 1,630 task orders worth 11.9 million dollars combined. IDC SP450022D0014 has 770 task orders ($3.3 million); SP450022D0012 has 741 task orders ($4.3 million); SP450023D0003 has 454 task orders ($5.2 million); and SP450024D0013 has 176 task orders ($1.1 million). The most recent and largest award on record is a single-award indefinite delivery contract issued by DLA Disposition Services on November 4, 2025, valued at 6.47 million dollars, covering hazardous waste removal, transportation, treatment, characterization, and disposal services supporting more than 100 designated military facilities throughout the South Florida region within a 50-mile radius of specified pickup locations, with performance through May 2028 plus an optional 30-month extension through November 3, 2031. This IDC (SP450025R1001) was competed full-and-open under NAICS 562211 using best-value evaluation. Tradebe has issued approximately 150 delivery orders against this vehicle since November 2025, ranging from nominal amounts (some under $100) to orders exceeding $70,000, with completion dates extending through February 2027.

Award activity grew substantially from 2022 (369 awards) through 2025 (1,149 awards), then declined to 351 awards in 2026 (measured through mid-April). Within the next twenty-four months, 704 awards reach ultimate completion dates, representing a 6.3 million dollar recompete exposure window for Tradebe. The vendor shows no Service Contract Inventory (SCI) reporting above the $150,000 threshold as a prime; the sole SCI record captures Tradebe named as a subcontractor on a FY2024 prime service contract held by another vendor, with minimal (0.1) FTE attribution. This gap between award count and SCI reportage reflects the nature of Tradebe's contract portfolio: delivery orders on DLA waste-management vehicles are typically firm fixed-price, micro-purchase, or below-threshold transactions that do not trigger SCI reporting requirements despite substantial nominal values.

Tradebe's capability scope is narrowly defined: hazardous and non-hazardous waste handling spanning Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous wastes, universal wastes, compressed gases, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), lab pack preparation, mandatory incineration, waste characterization, environmental testing, equipment rental, and container provisions. Representative work includes a $70,498 delivery order from March 2026 for hazardous waste management services at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania; a $35,247 order from February 2026 for corrosive ammonia and amines handling and disposal at Corpus Christi, Texas; and a $31,347 order for hazardous waste removal and disposal at Key West, Florida. Place of performance spans more than 100 military installations, bases, National Guard armories, naval stations, and air force facilities throughout Florida and subordinate locations, with recent orders issued for Cape Canaveral, Key West, Fort Bliss, Corpus Christi, Bethesda, The Bahamas, and Puerto Rico.
