T2634-Scrap Metal & Wood Pallet Collection and Recycling/Disposal: Statewide

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury Division of Purchase and Property, is soliciting quotes for the recycling and disposal of various scrap metal and wood pallets on a statewide basis, including in Mercer County. The procurement, identified as Bid Solicitation #18DPP00213, is seeking vendors to provide collection, storage, hauling, and recycling/disposal services for materials such as steel/iron, aluminum, copper, lead batteries, brass, and lead. Vendors must submit pricing using a State-provided Price Schedule, indicating rebate percentages for the different scrap metal commodities. The selected vendor(s) will be required to reimburse the State a percentage of the current American Metals Market index price for the scrap metal collected. The State intends to award one Blanket Purchase Order per region (North, Central, and South), with the possibility of a Statewide Blanket Purchase Order. The initial contract term is 3 years, with the potential for extensions.

The solicitation does not appear to include any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor's current pricing information is available, and the State anticipates significant scrap metal generation from various state agencies, with the potential to expand services during the contract term. The maximum contract value is not specified, but historical scrap disposal quantities and expenditures are provided in the solicitation documents.
