S205--Trash and Recycling Removal and Disposal Services.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is conducting a sources sought notice for trash and recycling removal and disposal services at the Dublin VA Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia. The market research aims to assess small business capabilities for comprehensive waste management services, including dumpster management, roll-off container services, and compactor maintenance. Specific service requirements include twice-weekly pickup of two 6-cubic yard dumpsters, weekly servicing of a 20-cubic yard roll-off container, twice-weekly emptying of a 35-cubic yard trash compactor, and weekly pickup of a cardboard compactor. Responses are due by December 26, 2024, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with the primary point of contact being Gail Bargaineer, who can be reached via email at Gail.Bargaineer2@va.gov or by phone at 404-321-6069. The notice emphasizes that this is a market survey and not a formal solicitation for proposals.

The procurement is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 562119, with a size standard of $47.0M. The annual waste volume is estimated at 84 tons for roll-off waste and 575 tons for other waste types. Contractors must be locally owned and operated within Laurens County, hold valid Georgia waste disposal permits, and demonstrate the ability to respond to emergency service requests within one hour. The contract structure includes a base year with four potential option years, providing a potential five-year service commitment. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive service requirements and multi-year potential suggest a significant opportunity for qualified small businesses specializing in waste management and disposal services in the Georgia region.
