About this file
This is a Request for Bid document issued by the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs for a one-time mattress recycling contract. The Department seeks a qualified contractor to remove, transport, and recycle approximately 1,400 twin-size mattresses that have reached end-of-life status at Camp Ripley, located at 15000 Highway 115 in Little Falls, Minnesota. The contractor must provide supervision and transportation to haul the mattresses to a qualified recycling facility capable of either completely dismantling the mattresses to their core components for transformation into new materials or disassembling them for complete refurbishment, including reusing steel components and recycling textiles. The mattresses must not be redistributed or reused in their current form. Camp Ripley personnel will load the mattresses into the contractor's transport unit, which must be sized to accommodate at least 200 twin-size mattresses per load, with approximately seven loads anticipated. The contractor is responsible for transporting, delivering, and potentially unloading the mattresses at the designated recycling facility. The bid submission deadline is May 22, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., with responses required through the Minnesota Supplier Portal. Two addenda have been issued as of May 20, 2026, revising insurance requirements and instructions to responders.
Pricing for this contract consists of two line items: a per-unit recycling cost for each of the 1,400 twin-size mattresses and a per-load trip charge with a minimum of 200 mattresses per load. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Supplier Portal, with no non-electronic or email responses accepted. The Department will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications and terms and conditions. Small business set-asides and diversity and inclusion considerations are available through Minnesota's Small Business Procurement Program for businesses meeting specified criteria regarding ownership, operation, control, location, and economic disadvantage status. Bidders must be registered as either a supplier or bidder in the system prior to submission and must include all required attachments with their response. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted in writing to Ms. Sarah Posterick at sarah.m.posterick@state.mn.us no later than the deadline specified in the Instructions to Responders section.
