Nexus® 52G Dual Trash Recycling Cans

The City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, Florida, is seeking to procure Nexus® 52G Dual Trash Recycling Cans for the St. Petersburg Pier through a sole source solicitation (SS-25-197). The procurement focuses specifically on acquiring specialized waste receptacles that enable separate single-stream recycling and trash collection within one unit. These receptacles feature distinct design elements, including a black opening and decal for trash and a blue opening and decal for recycling, with included plastic liners and disabled locks. The solicitation was released on May 9, 2025, with a response deadline of May 16, 2025, at 3:00 pm. Glasdon has been identified as the exclusive source for these recycling receptacles, though the city is open to alternative suppliers who can demonstrate equivalent product capabilities. Potential vendors are invited to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities to the Procurement Analyst within a seven-business-day period, and must complete a vendor questionnaire indicating their ability to provide similar products.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. While Glasdon is currently the identified sole source, the city remains open to alternative suppliers who can meet the precise specifications of the Nexus® 52G Dual Trash Recycling Cans. The solicitation does not explicitly outline budget ranges or potential award values, nor does it specify infrastructure integration requirements beyond matching existing waste receptacles at the St. Petersburg Pier. The procurement seems focused on ensuring consistent waste management infrastructure with a very specific product type. No information is provided regarding disadvantaged enterprise participation or preferences. The opportunity appears to be a targeted procurement to replace or supplement existing waste receptacles with a very particular design and functionality, emphasizing the need for precise product matching at the pier location.
