Biomedical Waste Disposal Services

The state of Florida, through the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD), is seeking a vendor to provide biomedical waste disposal services for the Tacachale facility located in Gainesville, Florida. The successful vendor will be responsible for the pick-up, disposal, and provision of signed receipts for biomedical waste collected from the Tacachale location twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays between 1 PM and 4 PM EST. The vendor will be required to provide approximately 140 - 96-gallon bins for the waste. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for January 25, 2023, and bids are due by February 15, 2023. The initial contract term is five years with the possibility of three one-year renewals. The ITB provides detailed requirements for the services, including emergency pick-ups, bin specifications, and regulatory compliance, and pricing is requested on a per-bin basis for the initial five-year term and three one-year renewal terms.

The ITB does not specify any set-asides or indicate the presence of an incumbent vendor. The current contractor, Trilogy Medwaste, is being paid $25.155 per container under the existing contract. The funding source is not specified, but the Agency reserves the right to add or delete service locations and items during the contract term. Vendors are advised that any protest to the ITB must be filed within the timeframe prescribed in Florida Statutes.
