Yakima Waste Systems, Inc.

Yakima Waste Systems, Inc., a for-profit, foreign-owned corporation based in Yakima, Washington, provides solid waste removal and recycling container services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — 138 awards across a twenty-four-year procurement history, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements carrying no set-aside designations across all named awards.

Yakima Waste Systems' capability portfolio centers on trash and recycling collection (114 awards under NAICS 561622 Solid Waste Collection) and materials recovery facility operations (20 awards), with ancillary support for forestry and waste treatment. Representative work includes a $36,743 base-plus-four-option purchase order from the Indian Health Service for solid waste removal at the Yakama Service Unit in Toppenish and White Swan, Washington (ultimate completion September 30, 2031); a $96,232 definitive contract from the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region to provision and service recycling containers (1.5, 6, and 30 cubic yard comingled and cardboard units) at Joint Base Lewis-McChord through August 31, 2028; and an $83,861 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation for garbage and recycling services in Yakima with an August 31, 2027 completion date.

Customer concentration is acute and regionally bound. The Indian Health Service accounts for 93 awards ($376 thousand combined potential value) concentrated on tribal clinic operations in Washington state, while the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region generates 32 awards ($478 thousand combined potential value), primarily BPA calls for comingled-container servicing. The Bureau of Reclamation, Forest Service Job Corps, and Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region make up the remainder. The two rankings diverge slightly — Army leads on dollars despite the Indian Health Service's volume advantage — but both reflect Washington-state regional focus.

The vendor places work under five named BPAs: two Indian Health Service BPAs (55 and 29 task orders respectively, $39 thousand and $27 thousand combined potential value) and three Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region BPAs (18, 3, and 3 task orders respectively, ranging from $26 thousand to $66 thousand combined potential value). Activity has declined materially from a peak of nine awards in 2022 to one award in 2024 and one in 2026. Three awards totaling $204 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating a modest recompete window. Combined dollars obligated ($2.2 million) exceed combined potential value ($1.3 million), indicating invoiced work in excess of contract ceilings on some vehicles, typical of long-running, task-order-based purchase and servicing agreements.
