Veolia Es Technical Solutions LLC

Veolia Es Technical Solutions LLC, a foreign-owned environmental services company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, operates as a federal prime contractor delivering hazardous waste management, pharmaceutical waste destruction, chemical remediation, and IT equipment destruction services across seventy federal agencies without pursuing small-business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open, holding no SBA designations and no set-aside work in its recent prime footprint.

Veolia's capability portfolio centers on chemical and biological hazardous waste transportation, treatment, incineration, and final disposal; pharmaceutical waste destruction via incineration for the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Drug Take Back Initiative; secure destruction of classified and Special Access Program IT equipment; and specialized remediation at military installations and federal research facilities. Representative prime work includes a $30.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Department of Defense Northeast Region (awarded April 2024) for hazardous waste disposal at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, running through April 2029; a $24.9 million Indefinite Delivery Contract from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (awarded May 2024) for chemical and biological hazardous waste transportation and disposal through April 2029; a $1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement from the Environmental Protection Agency (awarded December 2022) for nationwide chemical and hazardous waste disposal through December 2027; and a $1 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for hazardous waste services in Oregon (February 2021 through February 2026, with recurring small task orders in the $3,000–$15,000 range). Recent task-order activity includes a $6.2 million delivery order from RDECOM for hazardous waste disposal (September 2025), a $1.52 million order for characterization and disposal of research chemicals at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (October 2024), and multiple six-figure orders for Aberdeen Proving Ground hazardous waste removal (May–June 2024 cycle).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Army installations and Army-subordinate commands. The top five customer entities account for 71 percent of award count: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Portland (246 awards, $4.3 million combined potential value, predominantly sub-$10,000 recurring pickups at dam and lock facilities in Oregon), the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region at Aberdeen Proving Ground (171 awards, $86.4 million), the Drug Enforcement Administration (60 awards, $1.8 million for pharmaceutical waste destruction), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (49 awards, $132.2 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (43 awards, $1.3 million). Tension between award count and dollar concentration is acute: by award count, the Portland Engineering District dominates; by dollars, RDECOM anchors the portfolio at $132.2 million potential value across 49 awards. Over 96 percent of combined potential value flows through Army Materiel Command entities, particularly RDECOM ($132.2 million) and Chemical Materials Agency ($101.8 million).

Veolia holds parent Indefinite Delivery Contracts worth a multi-billion-dollar ceiling across defense and civilian agencies. The top five vehicles by task-order volume are the IDC W9127N10D0013 (100 task orders, $509 thousand combined value), IDC W56ZTN18D0006 (82 task orders, $13.2 million), IDC W91ZLK11D0003 (75 task orders, $10.1 million), IDC W9127N16D0001 (73 task orders, $358 thousand), and IDC W9127N04D0016 (64 task orders, $449 thousand). The Aberdeen Proving Ground $30.6 million vehicle and the RDECOM $24.9 million vehicle anchor the largest single-customer pipelines. Additionally, Veolia holds a $500,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Air Force Test Center for Special Access Program IT equipment destruction (awarded July 2024, through June 2029), and a $50,000 BPA from Air Mobility Command for IT electronic waste destruction (awarded September 2025, through August 2027).

Activity has held steady at 40–53 awards per year over the past five years, with 2024 at peak (53 awards) and 2026 year-to-date showing only 11 awards (reflecting a partial-year snapshot as of mid-June). Seventeen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $12.7 million in combined potential value; most are small recurring hazardous waste pickup orders at Army Corps dam and lock facilities in Oregon, representing low recompete risk given Veolia's lock on those recurring SOW contract vehicles. Higher-value recompete exposure centers on the Aberdeen Proving Ground and RDECOM vehicles—both anchoring multimillion-dollar annual task-order pipelines—though neither vehicle completion date falls within the twenty-four-month cliff.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only three records across Veolia's entire SCI footprint (FY2022–FY2024), all as a named subcontractor on prime contracts held by other vendors. SCI records show 2.2 FTEs delivered as a subcontractor in FY2024. This indicates Veolia's federal service-contract activity is either concentrated below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold (as transactional task orders under established IDCs) or heavily routed through subcontractor roles on larger primes, neither of which would show up as large SCI invoicing. The vendor's own prime task orders—the bulk of its work—are goods-and-services delivery orders (hazmat removal, incineration, disposal) rather than staff-augmentation services, explaining the minimal SCI footprint.

Veolia operates as a prime contractor on 98 percent of recent awards (783 of 803 total awards). Subcontractor engagements are limited to a small portfolio of named sub-awards on large primes: Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and operations waste shipments, January–August 2025), J&J Maintenance Inc. (operations and maintenance at Marine Corps Training Facility Twentynine Palms, December 2025), Leidos (RCRA Facility Investigation work, 2024–2025), Triad National Security (Los Alamos National Laboratory industrial cleaning services, August 2025), Pantexas Deterrence (Pantex Plant waste treatment and disposal, July 2025), Consolidated Nuclear Security (Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex operations support, January–July 2024), and BAE Systems Land & Armaments (armored vehicle program support, August 2024). These subcontractor relationships reflect Veolia's position as an environmental-remediation specialist embedded in large defense contractor teaming arrangements for facility operations and compliance.

Veolia's work across the award portfolio is nearly monolithic in categorization: 647 awards (81% of total) are classified under NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), 90 under NAICS 562212 (Hazardous Waste Collection), and the remainder split among solid-waste combustion, remediation, and related PSC codes. This extreme category concentration—coupled with Aberdeen Proving Ground and Army chemical–biological research facility clustering—signals a vendor whose entire federal footprint is hazardous-waste logistics and incineration services for the defense industrial base and DEA pharmaceutical compliance operations.
