About this file
This is a Questions and Responses document addressing vendor inquiries regarding a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for non-hazardous waste collection and disposal services issued by the Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service (Solicitation Number 70US0926Q70092731). The Government confirmed specific dumpster specifications of 14 feet long by 8 feet wide by 5 feet high, rejecting vendor suggestions for alternative sizes such as standard 8-yard commercial dumpsters or industry-standard dimensions. The Government clarified that the dumpster will be used for residential trash, cardboard, broken chairs, wood pallets, and larger debris items, not hazardous waste. The place of performance is West Palm Beach, with the specific address to be provided to the awardee. This is a brand-new contract with no incumbent predecessor, and no historical waste weight data or records of overflow, contamination, or service issues are available from prior performance.
The RFQ is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), requiring vendors to provide dumpster rental, collection, emptying, and transportation of trash to an approved disposal facility. The Government indicated it prefers a 10-yard open-top dumpster with poly covers if possible, though the firm specifications remain 14'L x 8'W x 5'H. The document confirms that no additional vendor questions are being accepted following the June 17, 2026 amendment, and the solicitation due date has been extended to accommodate the responses provided.

| Questions | Responses |
| During discussions with local waste management providers, we were advised that standard commercial trash dumpsters equipped with lids and locking mechanisms are generally smaller than the dimensions listed in the solicitation, while dumpsters closer to the stated dimensions are typically roll-off containers that do not include lids or locking covers. | N/A |
| Is the Government seeking a commercial trash dumpster with latching/wind-resistant covers, regardless of exact dimensions? | 14’Lx8’Wx5’H. We would like a roll off dumpster bin with a cover if possible |
| If so, would an industry-standard 8-yard commercial dumpster with locking lids be considered acceptable? | No; 14’Lx8’Wx5’H |
| Alternatively, is the Government specifically requiring a dumpster measuring approximately 8 feet by 11 feet regardless of lid configuration? | 14’Lx8’Wx5’H |
| The reason for this question is that the largest commercial trash dumpster identified by local providers that includes locking lids and wind-resistant covers is an 8-yard container measuring approximately 6 feet by 6 feet. We want to ensure we provide the appropriate equipment and submit a quotation that fully complies with the Government's requirements. | 14’Lx8’Wx5’H |
| Is this contract exempt from Franchise requirements. | |
| Q- Please confirm that this be a 10 yard open top with poly covers. | 14’Lx8’Wx5’H |
| Q- Is this for garbage only or will debris be introduced. | garbage and larger items like broken chairs, wood pallets |
| Is there an incumbent? If so, please provide the total contract value, length and number. | No |
| If applicable, is the scope of work the same as the previous contract? | N/A |
| Please clarify as to what kind of non hazardous waste will be going into the 8 ft by 11 ft dumpster you are requesting. Please provide examples. | Residential trash, cardboard, broken chairs, wood pallets |
| Can the Government provide the trailing twelve months (TTM) of historical weights for the disposal of the waste type you are requesting? | No |
| Has the Government experienced overflow, contamination, blocked-container access, or missed service issues within the last twelve months? If yes, please provide the when and the waste stream type. | No |
| Please provide the height of the dumpster you are requesting. Just 8 ft by 11 ft only gives us the length and width but not the height. This will aid us in providing you with the most accurate, cost effective pricing. | It'll be outdoors; 14’Lx8’Wx5’H |
| Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past. | No incumbent |
| We are performing independent research on the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (70US0926Q70092731). We would like to know if this is a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number and what the total contract value was? | N/A |
| What is the address for the place of performance in this solicitation? | West Palm Beach. The adress will be provided to the awardee |
