FY26-DOEE-WPD-Bag Law and Food Service Ware Outreach

The District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment is preparing to solicit services for outreach initiatives targeting food serving entities regarding the Bag Law and material requirements for food service ware. This effort aims to educate businesses on compliance with regulations governing single-use plastics and other disposable food service materials, ensuring alignment with local environmental standards. The initiative will focus on raising awareness, providing guidance, and facilitating adherence to restrictions and alternative material mandates through targeted engagement campaigns. The contract is forecasted for fiscal year 2026, with a posted date of July 23, 2026, and is expected to involve coordinated outreach activities across the District. While specific details such as funding, scope, performance locations, or set-aside provisions are not yet defined, the effort will likely require expertise in public education, environmental compliance, and community engagement. Potential contractors will need to demonstrate experience in working with food service businesses and conveying regulatory information effectively. The solicitation process is not yet active, but interested parties should monitor the official contract portal for future announcements.
