About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Southeast Region has issued a Special Notice for solid waste collection services at North Cascades National Park in Skagit County, Washington. The notice outlines the agency's intent to sole source a contract for refuse collection and transportation services. Currently, Waste Management LLC is the sole vendor capable of providing these services, which are heavily regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. The procurement falls under NAICS code 562111 for solid waste collection, with a small business size standard of $12.5 million. The notice emphasizes the strict state regulations governing waste collection companies, including licensing, permitting, and insurance requirements.
Contractors interested in providing services must submit capability statements electronically to Geri Larsen via email by April 11th at noon Mountain Time. The National Park Service requires a contractor to provide 20-yard or 30-yard dumpsters for various projects and events, with the ability to supply additional garbage containers as needed. Vehicles must be equipped with compactor-type units for collection and transportation of refuse. Eligible vendors must possess the necessary state certification and be able to operate in Whatcom or Skagit Counties. The agency intends to negotiate pricing at or below the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission's established tariff rates for the geographic area. No phone calls will be accepted, and all submissions must be in PDF, MS Word, or Excel format. The sole source procurement is driven by the stringent state regulations that effectively limit potential contractors to those meeting specific operational criteria.
