Conservation/Admin- FY26 DCNR Recycle Service

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting bids for recycling services through a competitive procurement process. This Round 2 procurement requires an all-or-none bid submission and is designated for changes to the current pickup schedule. The service encompasses the collection and recycling of materials from three paper recycling bins, with service frequency set at every other week throughout the valid contract period of February 2026 through September 30, 2026. The vendor selected must be authorized to perform recycling services within the designated service area and possess the necessary licensing and operational capabilities to execute consistent, reliable collection services. Prospective bidders must submit their proposals by the deadline of February 14, 2026, with the posting date of February 10, 2026 providing a four-day window for proposal preparation and submission.

The procurement documentation does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other protected classifications, suggesting this is an open competitive solicitation available to all qualified vendors meeting authorization and service capability requirements. No incumbent vendor information, current contractor details, or specific budget ranges have been provided in the available procurement materials. The contract does not appear to require integration with existing technology infrastructure, as the primary deliverable involves straightforward refuse collection and processing services. Interested vendors should note that the specifications referenced in the procurement notice contain detailed requirements that must be reviewed in full to ensure compliance with all technical and operational standards. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder meeting all stated requirements for the February 2026 through September 2026 service period.
