The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for solid waste collection services at the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge (CMR NWR) in Lewistown, Montana, under solicitation number 140FS226Q0080. The contract requires waste collection at two locations: CMR Sand Creek Station, which needs twice-weekly pickup of two 4-yard rear-load containers, and Lewistown HQ Office, which requires weekly pickup of one 2-cubic-yard container and monthly on-call pickup of another 2-cubic-yard container. Contractors must comply with Wage Determination 2015-5397 (Revision 27) for Fergus County, Montana, maintain appropriate licensing and OSHA-compliant safety training, and provide all necessary personnel protective equipment. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value approach, considering technical capabilities, competitive pricing, and past performance verified through CPARS/CRA reference checks. The quote submission deadline is May 1, 2026 at 4:30 p.m., and quotes must be submitted on company letterhead with monthly and annual breakdowns for each contract year.

This solicitation was initially established as a 100% total small business set-aside but was converted to an unrestricted competitive solicitation via Amendment 001, issued on April 21, 2026, to promote competition and obtain fair and reasonable pricing after the government determined the small business set-aside pricing was not reasonable; however, small businesses remain encouraged to participate. The contract is a firm-fixed-price award with a base year plus four option years, running from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031 (five years total performance). No incumbent contractor or budget range is specified in the available documentation. The NAICS code is 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) with a size standard of $47 million.
