Cardboard and Plastic Recycling at Hawaii Commissaries

The contract pertains to the collection, transportation, and recycling of cardboard and plastic waste generated at four Hawaii military commissary locations: Kaneohe Bay, Hickam AFB, Pearl Harbor, and Schofield Barracks. It is a Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 562111 (Waste Collection) and is managed by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA). The contractor is responsible for providing comprehensive recycling services in strict accordance with the provided Statement of Work (SOW), which includes adhering to applicable laws, DoD environmental directives, and specific performance requirements. Cardboard and plastic materials are to be baled separately, with the commissaries supplying balers and forklifts for handling bales, while the contractor must supply weather-resistant trailers or spotted trailers to haul the bales from each site. The contract specifies that quantities denote weekly pickups rather than unit counts, and the unit of measurement for pricing is based on pounds per bale, with DeCA estimating bale weights between 950 and 1100 pounds. The initial contract term runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031, with options to extend up to a total of 60 months, exercisable solely at the Government’s discretion. The contractor is not granted renewal or termination options at contract end. Offerors must meet detailed submission requirements including past performance references, complete mandated certifications and comply with extensive federal acquisition regulations incorporated by reference, specifically FAR and DFARS clauses. The solicitation process is electronically managed, with a submission deadline of March 20, 2026. The scope emphasizes sustainability and environmental compliance at these key military resale facilities, outlining roles and responsibilities regarding equipment, access, documentation, and coordination. The contract also clarifies that containers are limited to trailers used for hauling bales; roll-off containers or balers need not be provided by the contractor since commissaries already have balers on site, and all containers used must be covered to prevent contamination and weather damage.
