Waste Treatment Government Contracts in Colorado
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Colorado.
Market Intelligence —
Waste Treatment in Colorado
Colorado's Waste Treatment Services market is highly concentrated: USAF Academy alone accounts for 83% of the state's 6 active opportunities in Q3 2026, with USAF Academy, Unknown collectively representing 100% of all activity. This concentration pattern creates a two-tier market — contractors must establish presence in USAF Academy to access the majority of deal flow, while secondary markets offer lower-volume but less competitive opportunities.
Two agencies shape Colorado's Waste Treatment Services market: FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM / BUREAU OF PRISONS leads at 64% of awards, with Department of the Air Force at 18%. Together they represent 82% of the state's 11 recorded contract actions and $449K in total spending. Winning with either agency provides the past-performance foundation to compete for the other's work. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — TWIN LANDFILL CORPORATION, GDM INC, MEDPRO WASTE DISPOSAL, LLC — hold 82% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
Looking ahead, 6 Waste Treatment Services contracts in Colorado are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $334.7M combined. Of these, 6 carry high takeover signals — meaning the incumbent's position is vulnerable based on the agency's historical vendor switching patterns. For contractors planning their Colorado pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
