OWD Curbside Composting Materials

The District of Columbia is seeking qualified vendors to provide curbside composting materials for its Office of Waste Diversion (OWD). The contract requires the successful vendor to deliver a variety of compostable bags, liners, and collection containers to support the city's curbside composting program. Key deliverables include durable, leak-proof bags in various sizes, compostable bin liners, and sturdy collection bins for residential use. The vendor must demonstrate experience in supplying high-quality composting materials that comply with relevant environmental and safety standards. The procurement is open through December 27, 2022, and respondents will be evaluated based on factors such as product quality, pricing, and logistical capabilities to meet the District's distribution and delivery requirements.

The contract is not designated for any specific set-aside or disadvantaged enterprise categories. However, the District encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and small businesses. While there is no incumbent vendor identified, the successful contractor will need to integrate with the District's existing curbside composting infrastructure and processes. The total contract value is not specified, but respondents should be prepared to provide competitive pricing within the District's budgetary constraints for this critical sustainability initiative.
