Request for Information for Diverting Organics from Boston's Waste System.

The state of Massachusetts has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for diverting organic waste from Boston's waste system. The RFI seeks information from interested parties on strategies, technologies, and approaches to reduce the amount of organic material, such as food waste and yard waste, that ends up in the city's waste stream. The key objectives of this procurement are to identify viable solutions that can help Boston achieve its goal of diverting a significant portion of organic waste from landfills and incinerators. Respondents should be prepared to provide details on their experience, qualifications, and capabilities in the areas of organic waste collection, processing, and repurposing. The RFI also requests information on any potential partnerships, collaborations, or integration with existing waste management infrastructure. Responses to this RFI are due by August 29, 2019.

This RFI is open to a wide range of organizations, including private companies, non-profit entities, and academic institutions. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of respondents. The state has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor have they specified a budget range or anticipated award values. The goal of this RFI is to gather valuable insights and information that will help the state and the city of Boston develop a comprehensive strategy for diverting organic waste from the local waste system.
