Waste Collection Government Contracts in Mississippi
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Mississippi.
Market Intelligence —
Waste Collection in Mississippi
Mississippi's Waste Collection Services market is highly concentrated: Unknown alone accounts for 47% of the state's 15 active opportunities in Q3 2026, with Unknown, Biloxi, Yazoo City collectively representing 100% of all activity. This concentration pattern creates a two-tier market — contractors must establish presence in Unknown to access the majority of deal flow, while secondary markets offer lower-volume but less competitive opportunities.
In Mississippi's Waste Collection Services sector, Unknown dominates with 7 active opportunities (47% of state volume) in Q3 2026, followed by Biloxi at 7 and Yazoo City at 1. The relatively close race between top cities indicates a competitive market where ranking shifts are common as new solicitations post. Contractors should track how these rankings evolve seasonally, as federal fiscal year-end (September) often reshuffles city-level activity.
Two agencies shape Mississippi's Waste Collection Services market: Department of the Navy leads at 63% of awards, with Department of Veterans Affairs at 20%. Together they represent 83% of the state's 60 recorded contract actions and $15.3M 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 — MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, RAS ENTERPRISES LLC, THE HP GROUP LLC — hold 93% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
