Waste Collection Government Contracts in Alabama
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Alabama.
Market Intelligence —
Waste Collection in Alabama
Two agencies shape Alabama's Waste Collection Services market: FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM / BUREAU OF PRISONS leads at 55% of awards, with Department of the Army at 26%. Together they represent 81% of the state's 62 recorded contract actions and $15.2M 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 — MARTIN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC, AQUATE II, LLC, AHTNA SOLUTIONS, LLC — hold 84% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
The recompete pipeline across Alabama shows 9 Waste Collection Services contracts approaching renewal, valued at an estimated $586.5M combined. Notably, 100% of these carry high takeover signals — a rate that suggests systemic dissatisfaction with incumbent performance or deliberate agency strategies to rotate vendors. Department of the Army drives the largest concentration of recompete activity, making it the key agency for contractors positioning for contract takeover.
