“The Contractor maintained a keen understanding of the catastrophic impacts that waste stream management failures could have on the safety and well-being of the Fort Irwin community and on Fort Irwin’s overall training mission set. The Contractor diligently carried out their tasking and maintained excellent communications throughout the period of performance such that I would highly recommend them to provide similar support services at other installations.” – CPARS
