Trident Environmental Group, LLC

Trident Environmental Group, LLC, a small-business prime contractor based in Norfolk, Massachusetts, provides specialized depopulation, decontamination, and disposal (3D) response services, equipment storage and maintenance, and operator training to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services for managing large-scale animal disease outbreaks, particularly Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and African Swine Fever. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and competes under the total small business set-aside on its primary vehicle.

Trident's customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services accounts for 25 of 30 total awards (83% of awards by count) and 8.8 million dollars of the 9 million combined potential value across the portfolio — a structural dependency on a single agency and sub-office. The remaining five awards are scattered across the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (two awards with no dollar floor stated), the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (one award, 224 thousand dollars), the Department of Agriculture's Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services (one award, ten thousand dollars), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 1 (one award, eleven thousand dollars). Trident has no meaningful customer diversification.

Trident holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (12639522D0104) with USDA APHIS-VS valued at 7.5 million dollars, awarded August 31, 2022, as a total small business set-aside and running through August 31, 2027. Twenty-six task orders have been issued against this contract (combined potential value 1.5 million dollars), covering foam depopulation operations, grinder training, incinerator training, and annual equipment storage and maintenance at the contractor's Norfolk facility. Representative delivery orders include a 371 thousand dollar foam depopulation order for Aquebogue, New York (January 2025), a 241 thousand dollar foam depopulation order for Holland, Michigan (December 2024), a 46 thousand dollar foam training order for Bakersfield, California (May 2023), and recurring one-to-two-week grinder and incinerator training sessions at St. Martin, Minnesota valued at 8 thousand to 17 thousand dollars each. Work is performed at Trident's Norfolk headquarters and at deployment locations nationwide — Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Minnesota, California, New York, and Michigan are explicitly named in recent awards. Place of performance includes Norfolk and subordinate animal disease response sites throughout the continental United States.

Activity has grown significantly: four awards each in 2022 and 2023, thirteen in 2024, six in 2025, and two so far in 2026. Only two awards (combined potential value 43 thousand dollars) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure for the vendor in the near term; however, the core 7.5 million dollar IDC itself does not expire until August 2027, when major recompete risk materializes. Trident's subcontractor footprint is negligible and non-core: two sub-awards under Resolution Consultants (an Aecom-Ensafe joint venture) for environmental remediation and CERCLA support work (October 2024 and January 2024), unrelated to the vendor's primary 3D animal health mission. The company's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in foam depopulation equipment and technique, grinder depopulation training, incinerator training for livestock disease response, and equipment storage and maintenance — all services anchored to the single APHIS-VS animal health emergency response mission. Trident has not competed for work outside USDA APHIS-VS animal disease management and has no presence on government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple-award vehicles, or civilian or defense IT platforms.
