About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 23 (NCO 23) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice to procure regulated medical waste services for the St. Cloud VA Health Care System and three Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Minnesota. The contract will involve collecting, transporting, treating, and disposing of approximately 70,500 pounds of medical waste annually, including regulated medical waste and sharps from facilities in St. Cloud, Alexandria, Brainerd, and Montevideo. The government is seeking qualified businesses within NAICS code 562211 for Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal, with a focus on understanding potential contractor capabilities and size classifications. Responses to this market research notice are due by April 16, 2024, at 10:00 AM Central Time, and must include specific company information such as business size, contact details, and unique entity identification. The purpose of this notice is to gather market intelligence and potentially develop a future solicitation strategy, with no guarantee of contract award.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific small business category, though it welcomes responses from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Hub Zone, 8(a), and other small business classifications. The contract structure includes one base year and four option years, spanning from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, with a total potential contract period of five years. Estimated waste volumes are precisely detailed, with 40,300 pounds for the St. Cloud VA (34,255 lbs regulated medical waste, 6,045 lbs sharps), 10,000 pounds for Alexandria CBOC, 11,200 pounds for Brainerd CBOC, and 9,000 pounds for Montevideo CBOC. Interested vendors are required to demonstrate capability through a comprehensive response, including potential GSA Schedule contract information and compliance with the Nonmanufacturer Rule. While no specific award value is mentioned, the detailed waste volume suggests a significant service contract for medical waste management across multiple Minnesota VA healthcare facilities.
