S205 Boise Regulated Medical Waste Base + 4 OY's

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking a contractor to provide regulated medical waste collection and disposal services for VA facilities across Idaho. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, and expertise for the pickup, removal, transportation, and disposal of medical waste, specifically excluding sharps, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy waste, and trace chemotherapy materials which are handled under separate contracts. Services are required for the VA Medical Center in Boise and Community Based Outpatient Clinics in Twin Falls, Mountain Home, Caldwell, and Salmon, Idaho, with pickup frequencies varying by location from weekly to monthly. The solicitation includes a base contract period plus four option years. Quotes are due by October 10, 2025, and must be submitted to sharon.ploor@va.gov following the RFQ instructions and scope of work requirements.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The current incumbent contractor is Larson Miller under contract number 369C26025P0781, which processed 681 28-gallon containers of medical waste in the previous 12 months. The service schedule includes weekly pickups for Boise, every other week for Caldwell and Mountain Home facilities, and monthly collections for the Salmon location. All services will be performed at VA medical facilities throughout Idaho, with the contractor required to provide manifests and certificates of destruction upon request. Any additional pickups or specialized incineration services would be handled through contract modifications or government purchase card orders rather than being included in the base contract scope.
