Tri-State Government Services Inc.

Tri-State Government Services Inc., a women-owned small business (WOSB) and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, operates as a prime contractor providing hazardous waste removal, environmental remediation, and disposal services exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company competes 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint in the source data, and operates across a single customer concentration so extreme that it represents a structural vulnerability: Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services accounts for 12,492 of the vendor's 12,797 total awards (97.6%) and $307.5 million of the combined potential value across all federal work.

Tri-State's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in hazardous waste treatment and disposal. The vendor handles RCRA and non-RCRA hazardous wastes, universal wastes, compressed gases, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) across military installations. Concrete service lines include disposal of flammable liquids, solids, and sludges; handling of regulated substances such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), cyanide compounds, and reactive lithium metals; waste characterization and laboratory testing; container management and rental; industrial cleaning; and blast media removal. Representative delivery orders awarded in 2026 include a $211.6 million order for hazardous waste removal at Anniston Army Depot (May 28, 2026), a $104.1 million order for reactive metal powder 3D printing services (June 8, 2026), and a $88.4 million order for hazardous waste disposal and removal (July 13, 2026), all issued by DLA Disposition Services under total small business set-asides.

Tri-State holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Disposition Services. The primary vehicle, awarded March 10, 2023, carries a $42.79 million ceiling with an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2028, designated as a total small business set-aside, and has generated over 180 delivery orders since award. A second IDV, awarded December 1, 2025, carries a $26.076 million ceiling with an ultimate completion date of November 15, 2031, structured on a 30-month base period with one optional 30-month extension, also designated total small business set-aside. The second IDV explicitly originated from a December 2024 sources-sought notice and covers comprehensive hazardous waste removal, transportation, and disposal services for military installations in Alabama and Tennessee, with pricing across approximately 150 service line items under firm fixed-price terms. Both vehicles support the vendor's dominant operational footprint at Anniston Army Depot, Alabama, and subordinate locations across the Southeastern United States, particularly Georgia and Florida.

Award activity has declined year over year: the vendor received 735 awards in 2024, 648 in 2025, and 357 through mid-2026, a trajectory that may reflect award consolidation under the two primary IDVs rather than organic demand loss. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months stands at 410 awards with combined potential value of $7.2 million—a manageable exposure in dollar terms but operationally significant given the vendor's reliance on DLA as a single customer. The combined potential value across all 12,797 awards is $382.3 million, with $149 million obligated to date (39% of potential value). The vendor's other federal customers—Defense Logistics Agency (non-Disposition Services), the Air Force Reserve Command, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force—together account for fewer than 300 awards and less than $11.5 million combined potential value, representing residual customer diversity that does not materially alter the DLA Disposition Services concentration. All delivery orders are issued under firm fixed-price terms with typical completion periods of eight to twelve months.
