Biohazardous Regulated Medical Waste Removal

The State of Georgia is issuing an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) through the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) to establish a contract for Biohazardous Regulated Medical Waste Removal Services. The procurement aims to select up to five qualified suppliers, with one supplier designated for each of DBHDD's five hospital locations across the state. This solicitation is being conducted under the State Purchasing Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated 50-5-50 et seq.), targeting vendors capable of providing comprehensive medical waste removal services for facilities that support individuals with mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. The eRFQ was posted on June 6, 2025, with proposals due by June 27, 2025, giving potential vendors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their quotes. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to prioritize vendor qualifications, service capabilities, and the ability to handle biohazardous waste according to regulatory standards.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified medical waste removal service providers. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available information. The procurement targets five hospital locations, implying potential multiple contract awards with individual value likely dependent on the specific waste removal needs of each facility. DBHDD's diverse service populations, including individuals with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities, suggest the potential for complex waste management requirements. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the multi-facility approach indicates a potentially significant total contract value. Interested vendors will need to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of biohazardous waste removal protocols, regulatory compliance, and the ability to serve specialized healthcare environments across the state of Georgia.
