FDC Philadelphia Solid Waste Removal

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office is seeking a solid waste removal services contractor for the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The pre-solicitation notice indicates an indefinite delivery/requirements contract for removing and disposing of approximately 535 tons of solid waste annually. The contractor will be responsible for providing and installing a 32 cubic yard enclosed roll-on/off compactor with specific technical requirements, including 480V 3-phase power and 40,000 lbs hydraulic force. Services must include twice-weekly compactor exchanges between 5:00-6:00am and rapid equipment maintenance within 4 hours during business days and 6 hours on weekends/holidays. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, contractors will likely be assessed on their ability to meet technical specifications, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, targeting smaller enterprises within the Solid Waste Collection (NAICS 562111) category. The contractor will retain equipment ownership and assume full liability for damages and disposal, including obtaining all necessary permits and licenses. Monthly disposal receipts will be required, and the facility will provide space and utilities at no cost to the contractor. While a specific award value is not mentioned, the annual waste volume of 535 tons suggests a substantial service contract. The pre-solicitation was posted on December 19, 2024, with responses due by January 9, 2025, providing potential bidders approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their proposals for this federal waste management opportunity.
