Acadia National Park - Trash Collection in Schoodi

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region is seeking a firm-fixed-price purchase order for solid waste collection and disposal services at Schoodic Woods Campground in Acadia National Park, Maine. The contractor must provide comprehensive refuse collection services including labor, supervision, equipment, transportation, and disposal for three collection cycles weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) during the open season from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, with collections at seven designated points consisting of six 2-yard dumpsters and one 3-yard dumpster near the RV Dump Station. Collection operations are restricted to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the contractor must maintain animal-resistant, all-metal containers with lockable mechanisms, replace any damaged equipment within five days at no cost to the government, and transport all waste in covered vehicles to approved disposal facilities. Evaluation will prioritize the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer based on two factors: Technical Capability, which assesses the contractor's ability to schedule and utilize personnel effectively, and Past Performance, requiring two recent examples from the past five years with detailed documentation including location, dates, dollar value, and client contact information. Quotations must be received by 12:00 PM ET on April 24, 2026, submitted via email to Samuel McKenzie at Samuel_McKenzie@ios.doi.gov, with questions due by 10:00 AM ET on April 20, 2026, and pricing valid for 90 days from proposal receipt.

The contract covers a base period from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through April 30, 2031, representing a potential five-year contract term with 20 collection weeks in 2026 and 2030 and 19 collection weeks in 2027, 2028, and 2029. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contractor must comply with Service Contract Labor Standards and prevailing wage determinations for Maine counties (Aroostook, Hancock, Piscataquis, and Washington), as well as Buy American requirements and federal invoice submission procedures through the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform system. A pre-bid site visit is scheduled for Friday, April 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET at the Schoodic Woods Campground Ranger Station in Winter Harbor, Maine, where contractors are responsible for taking exact measurements of collection points.
