AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 1 intends to award a sole source bridge contract to Corporate Waste Solutions LLC for waste and recycling pickup and disposal services at the VA Healthcare Maine system. This action is being taken under FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency because previous solicitations did not result in a timely award due to a protest, and the current contract expires on September 30, 2026, without the ability to extend. The bridge contract is designed for an 8 month base period, estimated from October 1, 2026, to June 1, 2027, to prevent a lapse in critical services and avoid the hazardous accumulation of waste while a new base plus four option years contract is developed. The contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, and backup resources necessary for the comprehensive management of solid waste and recycling programs. This includes the collection, recycling, and disposal of waste, as well as providing the training and support required to maintain compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. The procurement falls under NAICS code 562111 for Solid Waste Collection and PSC S205. As this is a notice of intent for a sole source award, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps.

Full Description
Notice of intent to award a sole source bridge contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for 8 Month Base with Corporate Waste Solutions LLC 4919 Dogwood TRL, Richmond TX 77406 for the VA Healthcare Maine to obtain Waste and Recycling pickup/disposal. While procuring a new Base plus 4 option years contract.
The current contract 36C24121D0010 ends on 9/30/2026 with no contractual ability to extend. The current RFQ 36C24126Q0581 did not result in an award in time to prevent a lapse in service due to a Protest. A new RFQ is being developed for a base plus 4 option years. This sole source bridge contract with the current vendor will continue service without interruption or risk of service while the new RFQ is being developed. No other contractor can be installed before the contract expiration date without creating a critical service delay. Which would result in hazardous accumulation of waste at the facility.
Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 562111 Solid Waste Collection with a $47 Million Size Standard. The PSC is S205.
The authority for this action is FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency due to not being able to award a new Base + 4 option years from RFQ 36C24126Q0133 and 36C24126Q0581.
