Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Ohio.
Market Intelligence —
Waste Collection in Ohio
Ohio's Waste Collection Services market is highly concentrated: Unknown alone accounts for 40% of the state's 10 active opportunities in Q3 2026, with Unknown, Lisbon, Seville 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 Ohio's Waste Collection Services sector, Unknown dominates with 4 active opportunities (40% of state volume) in Q3 2026, followed by Lisbon at 3 and Seville at 3. 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.
Across Ohio, Waste Collection Services procurement distributes across 5 buying agencies, led by Department of Veterans Affairs (35%), FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM / BUREAU OF PRISONS (23%), Defense Logistics Agency (15%). With Department of Veterans Affairs at 35% market share and $10.3M in total state spending, the market offers a balance of focused and diversified strategies — contractors can specialize in the top agency or build a broader pipeline across multiple buyers. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — BROWNING-FERRIS INDUSTRIES OF OHIO, INC., HAMILTON ALLIANCE INC, REPUBLIC SERVICES OF OHIO HAULING, LLC — hold 72% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
Looking ahead, 4 Waste Collection Services contracts in Ohio are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $270.5M 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 Ohio pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
