Notice of intent to award a single source purchase order to arata equipment company for sanitech compactor systems for levi's stadium

The Forty Niners Stadium Management Company is seeking to procure four new Sanitech compactor systems for Levi's Stadium through a single-source purchase order to be awarded to Arata Equipment Company. This procurement specifically targets the replacement of existing trash compactor systems with units that are fully compatible with the stadium's current electrical, structural, and physical infrastructure. The compactors must feature automated tippers, fully electric motors, customized electrical hookup points, and floor rails aligned with Mission Trail Waste Systems' waste collection trucks. Interested parties are invited to submit alternative proposals through the Stadium Manager's eProcurement Portal (https://49ers.bonfirehub.com/portal/) by January 7, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Respondents must provide detailed information including the make and model of proposed trash compactor systems, product specifications, and a comprehensive discussion of how their proposed system will address the existing infrastructure requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are mentioned in the procurement documents. Arata Equipment Company is identified as the exclusive authorized Northern California reseller of Sanitech compactor systems, which gives them a significant advantage in this procurement. The current infrastructure was specifically designed around Sanitech systems, making alternative solutions potentially costly and operationally complex. Modifying the existing setup would require substantial additional investments, including potential costs for infrastructure modifications, system downtime, staff retraining, and troubleshooting. While no specific budget or award value is explicitly stated, the procurement involves the purchase and installation of four new compactor systems. The procurement contact is located at 4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054, with electronic communication possible through proc@49ers-smc.com.
