The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) issued solicitation C5613131-D, Rebid 1, to procure Universal and Hazardous Waste Removal and Disposal Services across its institutions statewide. The contract term is scheduled to begin January 1, 2026, and conclude December 31, 2028. The work encompasses the packaging, collection, transportation, and disposal of universal and hazardous waste in strict compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including DOT, CCR Title 22, and EPA standards. The contractor is responsible for waste characterization, preparation of waste profiles, maintaining manifests, and adherence to safety and security protocols such as the Transportation Security Plan and Contingency Plan. The services exclude the disposal of non-hazardous and medical waste. Performance locations are CDCR facilities throughout California, with waste delivered to permitted Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) as authorized by CDCR. Bidders must submit fully responsive proposals including detailed rate sheets, personnel qualifications, certificates, and certifications such as valid Hazardous Materials Endorsements and EPA identification. The evaluation is based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with price adjustments applied for DVBE participation ranging from 1% to 5%. A tie-breaker procedure involves either applying a discount percentage or random selection. The solicitation requires compliance with specified special contract conditions, including security clearances, notification of personnel changes, and priority hiring preferences for qualified individuals receiving public assistance. Invoicing is monthly and submitted electronically, with payments processed by CDCR’s Accounts Payable office. The contractor must maintain thorough documentation, submit required reports, and facilitate CDCR inspections to verify acceptance at the TSDF. The bid submission deadline is December 18, 2025, with all documents submitted electronically in PDF format, and personnel resumes and certifications are critical to bid acceptance. The contract reflects California-specific procurement regulations rather than federal FAR clauses and emphasizes environmental safety, regulatory adherence, and administrative oversight.
