Fort Snelling National Cemetery Trash Services -- S205

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors for comprehensive trash and recycling collection services at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The procurement will be structured as a Base plus 4 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for fiscal year 2026, with services categorized under NAICS Code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and PSC Code S205 (Housekeeping – Trash/Garbage Collection). The scope of work requires weekly pickup of general waste and mixed recycling containers ranging from 2-yard to 8-yard sizes, along with on-call collection services for larger containers (10-yard, 20-yard, and 30-yard) designated for general waste, headstones, and construction materials. The government is specifically interested in identifying Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) capable of providing these services. Interested vendors must submit a capabilities statement by January 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST to April.Graves@va.gov, including company details, business classification, relevant experience, and contract vehicle information.

This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any small business set-asides, meaning all eligible vendors may compete regardless of business size or status. The government documents do not identify any current incumbent contractor or provide specific award values or budget ranges for this contract opportunity. The IDIQ contract structure allows for flexibility in service demands across the base period and four option periods, with actual quantities and costs to be determined through individual task orders issued during the contract performance period. No detailed pricing information, estimated annual volumes, or anticipated contract ceiling values are disclosed in the available materials at this pre-solicitation stage. Vendors should note that this is an early market research phase, and a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated to follow the January 8 capabilities statement deadline.
