The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Pacific West Region has issued a Special Notice for solid waste disposal services at Redwood National Park. The notice details a planned Firm Fixed Price purchase order to be awarded to the County of Del Norte for waste collection and disposal. Scheduled for the fiscal year 2026, the procurement will cover services from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The contract will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a sole source requirement, specifically targeting solid waste collection services. The procurement is being conducted noncompetitively in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302.1, which permits award to the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure waste disposal services for Redwood National Park, with Del Norte Solid Waste in Crescent City identified as the sole approved facility for solid waste disposal in the area. The contract requires the removal and transportation of solid waste and rubbish to an approved landfill, ensuring compliance with all state and federal regulations, including EPA requirements.
