Waste Collection Government Contracts in District of Columbia

In Q3 2026, District of Columbia has 9 active Waste Collection Services opportunities distributed across 2 cities, but the market is top-heavy: Washington commands 89% of all activity. Washington, Unknown together hold 100% of statewide deal flow. Contractors entering District of Columbia's Waste Collection Services market should treat Washington as the primary beachhead before expanding to secondary markets.

District of Columbia's Waste Collection Services procurement is controlled by a narrow agency base: National Park Service and Department of the Army together account for 62% of all awards worth $29.2M in total obligated spending. This dual-agency dominance means contractors in District of Columbia must build relationships with both to access the majority of contract dollars. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — WILBURN HAULING INC, BATES TRUCKING COMPANY INCORPORATED, THE GOODE COMPANIES, INC. — hold 71% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.

Looking ahead, 10 Waste Collection Services contracts in District of Columbia are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $2.1B combined. Of these, 10 carry high takeover signals — meaning the incumbent's position is vulnerable based on the agency's historical vendor switching patterns. For contractors planning their District of Columbia pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
