The Bureau of Indian Education, a component of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, is seeking a contractor to provide refuse collection services for occupied residential units at five locations in the Navajo Nation area. The services include weekly waste collection using 2-21 carts per location depending on occupancy at Fort Defiance Agency Headquarters, Window Rock Headquarters, Crystal Boarding School, Pine Springs Day School, and Seba Dalkai Boarding School. Contractors must provide well-maintained waste containers, remove them within 24 hours of collection, and transport waste to environmentally approved landfills during business hours Monday through Friday. The solicitation calls for a firm-fixed-price contract structure with a base performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Quotes are due by August 29, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Charmaine Williams-James.

This procurement is designated as a set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) with a small business size standard of $47 million, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting Native American-owned businesses. The contract includes four optional one-year extension periods that could extend performance through September 30, 2030, providing potential for a five-year total contract duration. The specific number of waste containers ranges from 2 to 21 carts per location based on the number of occupied residential units at each site. All five performance locations are situated within Bureau of Indian Education facilities in Arizona, serving the residential quarters programs at these educational and administrative facilities. The total contract value is not specified in the available documentation, though the refuse collection services will follow a weekly schedule throughout the contract period.
