Trash and recycling removal

The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a market survey for trash and recycling removal services at the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The procurement seeks a firm-fixed price, single award contract for weekly collection services, with contractors required to provide 8-yard containers for recycling and 6-yard containers for garbage collection. Essential qualifications include possession of a valid Solid Waste Transport Service License and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations governing waste management services. Service delivery must occur during normal business hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with contractors expected to maintain an 80% acceptable performance level throughout the contract period. Interested parties must submit their responses by August 6, 2025, at noon Mountain Time, including references, socioeconomic status documentation, firm details, Unique Entity Identifier, SAM registration, and a three-page capability statement to the contracting officer Jenn Rollin.

This opportunity is specifically set aside for small businesses operating under NAICS Code 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) with a size standard of $47 million in annual receipts. No incumbent contractor or current service provider information was disclosed in the sources sought notice. While specific contract values or budget ranges were not provided, the government indicated this will be structured as a firm-fixed price arrangement for ongoing weekly waste collection services. The procurement timeline focuses on weekly service frequency, suggesting this will be an ongoing maintenance contract rather than a one-time service engagement. The government will use the market survey responses to determine whether to proceed with a competitive small business set-aside solicitation or potentially issue an unrestricted procurement if insufficient small business interest is demonstrated.
