About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to California Waste Recovery Systems, LLC for refuse and recycling collection and disposal services at New Melones Lake, Glory Hole Recreation Area, under contract 140R2026P0048.
The sole-source justification rests on Calaveras County's exclusive solid waste franchise system, which authorizes only Cal-Waste to provide refuse and recycling collection services within the county. Market research conducted via a Sources Sought Notice posted on SAM.gov from April 16–23, 2026 yielded three responses, but none demonstrated legal authority to operate within the county's franchise system. The contract encompasses a base year plus four option years, running from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. Services include collection, transportation, and proper disposal of waste and recyclable materials at multiple dispersed recreation sites including campgrounds, day-use areas, boat ramps, and parking areas, with up to 28 dumpsters and one 20-cubic yard roll-off bin. Service levels vary seasonally, with higher frequencies during peak recreation season (April–September) and reduced service during off-season months. Place of performance includes Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties, California. The statutory authority cited is 41 U.S.C. 1901 under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.201-1. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing based on the Independent Government Cost Estimate, historical pricing from the expiring contract 140R2021P0005, and county regulatory oversight of franchise rates.
