Refuse & Recycling for Multiple Schools

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education is seeking refuse and recycling collection services for four BIE schools located in Arizona, including Dennehotso Boarding School, Kaibeto Boarding School, Tonalea Day School, and Rocky Ridge Boarding School. The solicitation requires vendors to provide weekly refuse collection with 6-8 cubic yard bins and monthly recycling collection with 15 cubic yard bins at each school location. Quotes are due by January 16, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST and must include two volumes: a technical volume addressing capabilities and key personnel (limited to 5 pages) and a price volume. Technical questions were due by January 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM MT, with answers anticipated around January 9, 2025. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order based on best value, considering both technical capability and pricing.

The solicitation is a 100% set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) vendors under NAICS code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), with a size standard of $47 million. The contract period of performance will run from January 20, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with services to be performed Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, excluding holidays. The contract will be executed through the Indian Education Acquisition Office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and specifically targets waste management services for these four educational institutions. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured to ensure qualified ISBEE vendors can compete for this waste collection and recycling service contract. The solicitation emphasizes local, tribal economic participation by restricting the opportunity to Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises.
