FY26-DOEE-USA-Donation and Reuse Outreach

The District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment is forecasting a contract opportunity for FY26 focused on education and engagement initiatives related to donation and reuse as part of a zero waste strategy. The initiative aims to promote community awareness and behavioral change around diverting usable items from landfills through donation programs, reuse networks, and public outreach efforts that encourage sustainable consumption and waste reduction practices. Activities are expected to include developing educational materials, hosting community workshops, partnering with local organizations, and implementing campaigns that highlight the environmental and economic benefits of reusing goods and donating surplus items. The contract will support the agency’s broader goals of reducing waste generation and increasing diversion rates across the district, with an emphasis on inclusive, equitable, and accessible programming that reaches diverse populations. While specific deliverables and funding levels are not yet detailed, performance is anticipated to occur within the District of Columbia, and the project will likely require collaboration with nonprofits, schools, businesses, and neighborhood groups to scale impact. The forecast was posted on July 23, 2026, with no set-aside provisions or NAICS code designated at this stage, and interested parties are encouraged to monitor the official procurement portal for upcoming solicitations and application guidelines.
