Medical Hazardous Waste Disposal Services

The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for comprehensive medical hazardous waste disposal services to support their healthcare operations across multiple facilities in Oregon. The procurement encompasses collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of regulated medical waste, pharmaceutical waste, sharps, and hazardous medical waste streams at Three Rivers Health Center, Three Rivers Pharmacy, a Tribal Medical Clinic and Pharmacy, and planned expansions to a Behavioral Health Facility and Dental Clinic in Coos Bay, with future satellite locations in Eugene and Florence. Vendors must provide all-inclusive pricing for weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly scheduled pickups, emergency on-call services, sharps disposal, pharmaceutical waste disposal, drug destruction services, additional containers, and all associated transportation, disposal, environmental, and regulatory compliance fees. Qualified vendors must demonstrate current licensure, EPA/DOT/DEA compliance certifications, comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Pollution Liability, and provide references from similar healthcare clients. The evaluation criteria prioritize Operational Reliability (25%), Experience and Qualifications (25%), Regulatory Compliance (20%), Cost (20%), and References/Past Performance (10%). Questions must be submitted by June 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PST, with quotation submissions due June 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PST. The anticipated contract term is two years with one optional one-year renewal period.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are specified in the procurement documents, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. There is no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirement noted. The RFQ does not specify a funding source or budget range, and award is contingent upon funding availability. The Tribe reserves the right to reject any or all quotations, request clarifications, negotiate terms with selected vendors, and waive informalities in the procurement process.
