Two agencies shape Illinois's Remediation Services market: Environmental Protection Agency leads at 63% of awards, with Department of the Army at 17%. Together they represent 80% of the state's 223 recorded contract actions and $249.1M 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 — ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION LLC, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT, INC, HELIOTECH — hold 88% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.

Looking ahead, 3 Remediation Services contracts in Illinois are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $81.8M combined. Of these, 3 carry high takeover signals — meaning the incumbent's position is vulnerable based on the agency's historical vendor switching patterns. For contractors planning their Illinois pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
