Waste Collection Government Contracts in Massachusetts
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Massachusetts.
Market Intelligence —
Waste Collection in Massachusetts
Two agencies shape Massachusetts's Waste Collection Services market: Department of the Army leads at 39% of awards, with Department of Veterans Affairs at 30%. Together they represent 69% of the state's 54 recorded contract actions and $16.6M 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 — DBI WASTE SYSTEMS INC, CAVOSSA DISPOSAL CORP, E.L. HARVEY & SONS INC. — hold 90% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
Looking ahead, 4 Waste Collection Services contracts in Massachusetts are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $166.3M combined. Of these, 4 carry high takeover signals — meaning the incumbent's position is vulnerable based on the agency's historical vendor switching patterns. For contractors planning their Massachusetts pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
