Waste Collection Government Contracts in Houston, TX

At the state level, Department of the Army leads Texas's Waste Collection procurement at 32% of awards, followed by FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM / BUREAU OF PRISONS (25%).

These statewide patterns are a strong indicator of the buying agencies active in the Houston area. Statewide in Texas, the incumbent landscape is entrenched: the top 3 vendors hold 73% of recent awards.
