FMC Devens - Solid Waste Landfill Services

This contract involves solid waste landfill services for the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts. The current service is provided by Devens Recycling Center, LLC under a contract awarded in September 2023, valued at $199,260 for one base year plus two one-year options, with the performance period extending through September 30, 2026. The new procurement is a sources-sought announcement aimed at conducting market research and identifying interested and capable contractors. The facility must be within a 10-mile radius of FMC Devens and handle only nonhazardous waste—including trash, garbage, and construction debris—delivered by government vehicles. The contractor will assume ownership of the waste upon unloading, must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, and have a properly permitted landfill facility approved by Massachusetts authorities and EPA standards. The solicitation contemplates an indefinite delivery/requirements contract with one base year and up to four additional one-year option periods, potentially spanning five years. Pricing and award criteria have not been established as this is not a formal solicitation but a pre-solicitation step requiring interested firms to complete a market research questionnaire. Compliance with key FAR clauses like 52.204-7 (System for Award Management registration) and 52.219-14 (Small Business Subcontracting Plan) will be required if the acquisition proceeds to solicitation, alongside mandatory SAM registration. Contractor personnel must undergo security clearance, and subcontracting will follow applicable small business participation rules under FAR Part 19. The point of acceptance and inspection is at the contractor’s authorized landfill facility, with the government responsible for transporting waste from FMC Devens. The anticipated annual contract value extrapolated over five years is up to approximately $996,300, though detailed pricing, evaluation factors, and formal contract terms are yet to be defined as the acquisition process progresses.
