The contract will be awarded to Stericycle Inc. for a five-year period from the award date through 03/31/2030, comprising a base period and four 1-year option periods. This procurement is being conducted under a restricted competition due to unusual and compelling urgency, following a previous Request for Quote (RFQ 36C25225Q0323) that did not result in an award because the government could not establish fair and reasonable pricing.

The solicitation number is 36C25225Q0388, with a response deadline of 04/04/2025 at 12:00 Central Time.
