Purchase Order 140A2323P0023

The Bureau of Indian Education awarded a $1.95 million firm fixed-price purchase order to Navajo Sanitation, Inc. for solid waste collection services under an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside. The contract, which became effective November 29, 2022, covers weekly refuse collection and disposal services at six Bureau of Indian Education schools located across New Mexico counties including Cibola, Colfax, McKinley, Mora, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, and Taos. The base performance period extends from February 17, 2023 through February 16, 2024, with optional one-year extensions available through February 16, 2028. Services include weekly refuse pickup, monthly recycling collection, waste container provision and maintenance, and transportation of waste materials to approved landfills.

Navajo Sanitation, Inc., a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Window Rock, Arizona, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement, having served as the Bureau of Indian Education's primary solid waste management contractor since 2003. The company specializes in comprehensive waste management and environmental services for federal agencies operating on tribal lands throughout the Navajo Nation region and surrounding areas in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The modification reflects deobligation adjustments to the contract ceiling. Navajo Sanitation performs all services directly with no major subcontractors noted, and has secured over 100 federal prime contract awards, with the Bureau of Indian Education representing its largest customer base for waste services at boarding schools and educational facilities across the region.
