The procurement will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation based on a single lump sum bid that encompasses all contract costs.

The Military Department has waived Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirements for this contract, though DVBE subcontractors are encouraged. Small businesses may be eligible for a 5% bid preference, creating some opportunities for smaller local firms. Bidders must comply with various state regulations, including drug-free workplace requirements, civil rights laws, and recycling certification standards. The contract includes comprehensive provisions for insurance, performance standards, and potential termination clauses, requiring the selected contractor to maintain high professional standards throughout the contract period. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the three-year duration and monthly service requirements suggest a moderate-scale procurement opportunity targeting specialized grease recycling services for a state government facility.
