The Tate County School District is soliciting bids for waste disposal services for fiscal year 2026, covering eight distinct school locations including Coldwater Elementary School, Bus Shop, Senatobia-Tate County Vo-Tech, Central Office, East Tate Elementary School, Independence High School, Strayhorn Elementary School, and Strayhorn High School. The procurement requires vendors to provide dumpsters ranging from 1-8 yard capacity with specific pickup schedules, with frequencies varying from one to two times per week for each site. Bidders must be licensed to do business in Mississippi and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, commercial auto liability, and workers' compensation. The bid specifies that dumpsters must be clean, sanitized, and free of rodents and insects, with closable lids, and vendors must accommodate extra pickups with same-day or 24-hour service notification. The solicitation will be open for electronic or mail-in submissions until 10:00 am CST on Monday, June 9, 2025, with the contract period running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and no price adjustments permitted during this timeframe. The district reserves the right to modify bid quantities based on fund availability and will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While the current document does not mention incumbent vendors, it requires potential contractors to meet specific operational and insurance standards. The bid does not provide a specific budget range or award value, though it implies a comprehensive waste management service contract for multiple school district locations. Vendors must demonstrate capability to manage waste disposal across eight different sites with varying dumpster sizes and pickup frequencies. The contract's comprehensive requirements suggest a potentially significant annual service agreement, though exact financial parameters are not disclosed in the available documentation. Interested vendors must be prepared to provide flexible, reliable waste management services that meet the Tate County School District's operational needs while maintaining high standards of cleanliness and service responsiveness.
