Used Motor Oil Recycling

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is seeking a contractor to provide used motor oil recycling services across four statewide regions, with a total procurement volume of 148,000 gallons. The solicitation covers the removal, transport, and recycling of used motor oil from 23 TDOT facility locations, with storage tanks ranging from 500 to 5,000 gallons. Contractors must possess valid Used Oil Management Permits, EPA ID numbers for hazardous waste transportation, and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation hazardous waste certifications. The procurement requires all-inclusive per-gallon pricing for each region, with contractors responsible for maintaining necessary permits, insurance, and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Bidders must submit documentation through the EDISON Supplier Portal, with the bid period opening November 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST and closing December 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. Proposals will be evaluated with each regional line weighted equally at 25%, and all services are to be delivered to Property Services Management in Nashville, with a final due date of December 15, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a five-year agreement with the potential for a 180-day extension at the state's discretion. Pricing will remain firm for 365 days after contract award, with potential subsequent adjustments requiring verifiable documentation. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance, with the State of Tennessee named as an additional insured. Although no specific budget range is detailed, the total procurement volume of 148,000 gallons across four regions suggests a substantial contract value. Bidders must also demonstrate compliance with state procurement regulations, non-discrimination policies, and the Iran Divestment Act, and disclose any history of debarment, fraud convictions, or terminated public contracts within the past three years.
