Notice of intent to award a sole source contract

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Regional Office has published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for trash removal services. The BIA intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Waste Connections of Washington, Inc. for solid waste collection at the Office of Justice Services - District VIII Fort Vancouver building in Vancouver, Washington. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b) as a single-source acquisition rather than a competitive solicitation. The contract falls under NAICS code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) with a business size standard of $47 million. Waste Connections of Washington, Inc. is identified as a non-Indian owned large business that serves Clark County, Washington.

The purpose of this sole source award is based on Waste Connections being the only company that provides solid waste collection, transfer, and recycling services for residents and businesses throughout Clark County, including the cities of Battle Ground, Camas, La Center, Ridgefield, Vancouver, Washougal, and Yacolt, as well as unincorporated and rural areas. The BIA has established a deadline of August 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time for any firms that believe the agency should not pursue this sole source procurement. Interested contractors must submit a capability statement and pricing information by this deadline to be considered. The Contracting Officer Brian Roberts can be contacted at brian.roberts@bia.gov for this requirement. No technical questions will be answered, and no formal solicitation document is available for this procurement.
