Biohazardous and Medical Waste Disposal Services and Supplies

Hidalgo County is soliciting bids under RFB No. 26-0557-11-06-07 for the provision of biohazardous and medical waste disposal services and supplies. The scope of work includes the collection, packaging, transportation, treatment, incineration, and disposal of regulated medical waste, biohazardous and infectious waste, formalin preserved tissue specimens, and applicable chemical waste materials for various county departments on an as-needed basis. The selected vendor must provide all necessary containers, liners, labels, and packaging materials, ensuring all operations comply with federal, state, and local laws. Key requirements include a minimum of three years of experience in medical waste disposal and active registration with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as a transporter of untreated medical waste. Responses are due by November 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM CST and can be submitted electronically via the portal or physically via hard copy and USB. Evaluation is based on price, performance, efficiency, and compliance with user department needs, though the county reserves the right to award the contract to the offer considered best in its interest rather than the lowest bidder. Required submission documents include a HUB declaration, proof of insurance, SAM.gov registration, and a signed certification regarding debarment. The contract incorporates various federal and state regulations, including the Nondiscrimination Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Davis Bacon Act for prevailing wages on contracts exceeding 2,000 dollars.
