The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is soliciting qualified business service providers (QBSP) for refuse removal, disposal, and recycling services at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) under QBSP #6000003139. This is a two-year contract procurement with potential renewal options, posted on May 19, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 1, 2026. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive waste management operations including refuse collection, removal, disposal, and recycling program coordination across terminal and operational areas of the airport facility. Bidders must demonstrate substantial experience in large-scale airport waste management operations and maintain compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Key evaluation criteria include cost competitiveness, operational capability, environmental compliance, and service quality standards. Vendors must submit detailed cost proposals covering both regular and emergency service operations, and the contract specifies particular operational requirements including service frequency, equipment specifications, environmental compliance standards, insurance and bonding requirements, and operational protocols necessary for continuous waste management at a major metropolitan airport. Pre-bid meetings and site visit opportunities will be available for interested vendors to review operational requirements at the LaGuardia Airport location prior to proposal submission.

The contract incorporates set-asides and specific provisions for small business participation under New York State procurement regulations, though the documentation does not specify particular disadvantaged enterprise or minority-owned business set-aside percentages. The contract is funded through Port Authority operating revenues derived from airport operations. While the documents reference incumbent contractor performance data that may inform baseline service level expectations and cost benchmarks, no specific incumbent contractor name or current award value is disclosed in the available documentation. The contract structure establishes performance standards and pricing mechanisms based on competitive bids from qualified providers, with the two-year term commencing from the award date. Interested bidders should review both the primary QBSP document and the accompanying addendum (AD 6000003139) for complete specifications, pricing requirements, and technical standards applicable to this waste management services contract.
