Controlled Contamination Services

What Controlled Contamination Services does

Controlled Contamination Services (CCS) is a privately held, Dallas-headquartered facility services company founded in 1993 that specializes in contamination control and cleaning for controlled environments. It serves pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers, medical device makers, data centers, semiconductor and electronics fabricators, aerospace and defense contractors, and R&D laboratories across more than 43 US states. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification, aligns its processes with FDA, USP, ISO 14644, and Annex 1 requirements, and reports 97-98% annual customer retention across a base of 2,000+ accounts and 650+ active sites covering roughly 57 million square feet.

The service portfolio is organized around cleanroom cleaning (ISO 3 through ISO 9 classifications), data center cleaning, bio-decontamination via ionized hydrogen peroxide fogging and electrostatic spraying, environmental monitoring and validation, training and consultation, and post-construction cleaning. Underlying technology includes the proprietary OS1 high-performance cleaning system and Controlled FACtS, a cloud-based work order, inspection, and reporting platform powered by Cleantelligent. Customer outcomes cited include bio-burden reduction at 6-log levels, elimination of legacy incompatible equipment saving approximately $1M/year at one biopharma client, and documentation streamlining from 85 to ~30 nightly log sheets.

CCS generates revenue primarily through multi-year managed services contracts with custom quote-based pricing tied to facility size, cleanroom classification, service frequency, and compliance scope. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by dedicated account representatives and a content-driven digital presence. Following the 2023 appointment of CEO Sean Bond (former CEO of ISS North America), CCS has rebuilt its executive bench with an external CFO, VP of Sales, and VP of IT in 2024, consistent with a professionalized growth posture under founder/management ownership.
