The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is soliciting bids for a grease waste removal service contract for the Eastern Louisiana Mental Health System located in East Baton Rouge Parish. The procurement opportunity (RFx No. 3000024984) requires a vendor to pump out and dispose of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) waste from two 1200-gallon grease traps, with services to be performed three times per month. The initial contract period will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with potential for two additional 12-month renewals, not to exceed a total of 36 months. A mandatory jobsite visit is required, and vendors must contact Jonathan Holley to schedule an inspection, with failure to do so resulting in immediate disqualification. Bidders must submit proposals by June 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, either physically to the OSP in Baton Rouge or online through the LaGov system. The state will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with pricing to include transportation, freight, inside delivery, unpacking, and debris removal.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be registered in the LaGov system and maintain specific insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with minimum coverage limits. The contract is contingent on legislative appropriation for the next fiscal year, and delivery is prohibited before July 1, 2025. Payment will be processed using electronic payment solutions, including the LaCarte procurement card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for larger amounts. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates 36 total service events over the contract period. Contractors must comply with various state and federal regulations, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility requirements, and anti-discrimination provisions. The state reserves the right to adjust quantities and reject individual line items from the award.
