About this opportunity
The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is soliciting proposals for sludge hauling services at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant in Rio Rico, Arizona. The contractor will be responsible for daily removal of approximately 2,400 tons of sludge per month from filter presses, transportation using a minimum of three 14-cubic-foot tipper trucks with licensed operators, and disposal at an approved municipal landfill in accordance with EPA, ADEQ, and local regulations. The contract requires operations Monday through Saturday with two vehicles positioned under filter press chutes while the third transports loads to the landfill. Proposals will be evaluated based on lowest price among technically acceptable offers, with technical requirements and past performance serving as evaluation factors. The original proposal deadline was August 22, 2025 at 3:00 PM Mountain Time, but an amendment extended the due date to August 25, 2025, with questions accepted until August 15, 2025 and a site visit scheduled for August 14, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 562219 (Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) with a size standard of $47 million in annual receipts. The contract includes a base year and two option years, with the contractor expected to handle up to 2,500 tons of sludge monthly from a wastewater treatment plant that processes approximately 17 million gallons of sewage daily. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the contractor will be responsible for all operational costs including equipment, transportation, and labor, with USIBWC reimbursing only the landfill tipping fees. Performance will take place at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 865 East Frontage Road, Rio Rico, Arizona, with sludge transport to the Los Reales Landfill in Tucson. The solicitation requires contractors to maintain proper permits, provide trained operators, and ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations while meeting daily removal targets of 75 to 110 tons.
