Certified Redemption Center (CRC) Operations

The County of Maui is seeking a subcontractor to operate a certified redemption center for the beverage container redemption program, requiring full responsibility for receiving eligible containers, verifying their compliance with state requirements, and promptly issuing accurate payments to redeemers. The contractor must maintain comprehensive and auditable records of all transactions, ensuring strict adherence to state regulations and transparency in operations. This includes implementing systems to track container types, quantities, and payment disbursements with precision to support compliance and reporting obligations. The contract is open for bidding with a response deadline of August 11, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 454310, which pertains to non-store retailers including redemption and recycling services. Performance of the work is expected to occur within Maui County, Hawaii, though specific location details are not provided. Interested parties must respond through the public procurement portal linked in the posting, and while the solicitation does not specify a set-aside for small or disadvantaged businesses, the subcontract nature of the agreement suggests a need for coordination with primary contractors or program administrators managing the broader redemption initiative.
