About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, announced its intent to sole-source an 8-month bridge contract to Corporate Waste Solutions LLC for waste and recycling pickup and disposal services at VA Healthcare Maine, with a response deadline of September 24, 2026. This is not a solicitation.
The VA is using FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) authority for this sole-source award. The current contract 36C24121D0010 expires September 30, 2026, with no extension option. A prior competitive RFQ (36C24126Q0581) failed to result in a timely award due to protest, creating risk of service lapse. The VA states that no other contractor can be installed before the expiration date without creating critical service delay and hazardous waste accumulation at the facility. While this bridge contract continues service, the VA is developing a new competitive RFQ for a base period plus four option years.
The bridge contract requires comprehensive waste management services including collection, recycling, and disposal of solid waste, with allocation of all necessary equipment, personnel, and backup resources. The contractor must provide training and support to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations. NAICS code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) applies, with a $47 million size standard. PSC is S205. No solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps.
Interested parties may contact Contracting Officer James L. R. Moore at james.moore14@va.gov or (603) 624-4366. The Contracting Officer retains discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice.
