Moja trash pickup

The National Park Service Pacific West Region is seeking trash collection services for Mojave National Preserve through solicitation 140P8125Q0037, which requires comprehensive solid waste removal from 16 NPS-owned three-cubic-yard dumpsters located across six sites within the preserve. The contractor must empty all dumpsters every 14 days, transport waste to approved landfills using covered vehicles, and maintain service between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with a required superintendent possessing five years of relevant experience who can respond within two hours during pickup days. The contract award will be made using a comparative evaluation process considering price, technical approach, prior experience, past performance, and key personnel qualifications, with offerors required to submit technical and pricing proposals demonstrating their capabilities. The original proposal deadline was August 27, 2025, but Amendment 0003 extended the submission deadline to September 1, 2025, at 1400 PDT to provide additional time for quoters to update their submissions following the reduction in dumpster quantity from 17 to 16 units.

This opportunity is unrestricted with no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) with a small business size standard of $47 million. The contract structure includes a base year from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2026, followed by four potential one-year option periods plus a possible six-month extension, creating a total potential contract period through September 29, 2030. The 16 dumpsters are distributed across six locations within Mojave National Preserve: Kelso Depot Visitor Center (6 dumpsters), Kelso Housing (2 dumpsters), Hole in the Wall campground (3 dumpsters), Hole in the Wall Fire Station (3 dumpsters), Kessler Housing area (1 dumpster), and Tortoise Facility area (1 dumpster, reduced from the original 2). Performance will occur throughout the Mojave National Preserve in California, with the primary objective of enhancing visitor experience and preventing public health and safety issues through efficient solid waste management. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the multi-year structure and scope suggest a substantial service contract for this remote desert preserve location.
