Solid waste collection

The Bureau of Indian Education within the Department of the Interior is soliciting quotes for solid waste collection services at Crystal Boarding School in Navajo, New Mexico. The procurement seeks a firm fixed price contract for refuse collection services that includes providing waste container bins, weekly removal of waste containers, and transporting refuse to an approved landfill. The contractor will be responsible for servicing two locations at the school - the school building and kitchen - each requiring 8 cubic yard containers with once-per-week pickup. The contract evaluation will be based on price, product availability, product specifications, delivery lead time, and set-aside status, with the award going to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Charmaine Williams-James by September 4, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE), limiting competition to qualifying Native American-owned small businesses. The contract structure includes a base year running from November 25, 2025, through November 24, 2026, with four optional one-year extensions that could extend the contract through November 24, 2030, providing up to five years of potential work. Services will be performed at Crystal Boarding School located at Highway 134, Building 301, in Navajo, New Mexico. The scope involves weekly service for two 8 cubic yard containers, representing a relatively small-scale waste collection operation for the school facility. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range information was provided in the solicitation materials.
