AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 is conducting market research to identify capable vendors for solid waste removal services at the Richmond Central Virginia VA Health Care System, with an anticipated contract start date of October 1, 2026, and a potential five-year performance period including four option years. The scope includes comprehensive collection, compaction, and disposal of general solid waste and recyclable materials at multiple locations across the facility, including regular weekly and tri-weekly pickups at designated building sites using a variety of container sizes ranging from 8-yard to 42-yard units, with specific service frequencies including Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Thursdays. The contract also requires monitoring and marketing of recyclable commodities such as cardboard and mixed metal, along with monthly reporting on recyclable proceeds. Tonnage projections for the base year exceed 1,200 tons of general waste and 160 tons of recyclable materials, with associated tipping fees covered under the contract. Importantly, hazardous or radioactive waste disposal is explicitly excluded from the scope. Interested parties must submit written responses by August 14, 2026, via email to the designated point of contact with detailed information including company name, address, point of contact, tax ID, DUNS number, Socio-Economic status, capabilities statement, and FSS/GSA contract details if applicable. The government is not obligated to award a contract based on this notice and will not compensate respondents for their submissions. Preference is given to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses certified through VetCert, with potential set-asides if sufficient qualified vendors respond; otherwise, the acquisition may proceed as full and open competition. Responses must be titled “Sources Sought Solid Waste Removal,” and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. The place of performance is specified as 1201 Broad Rock Blvd., Richmond, VA 23249, and all services must align with the detailed PWS requirements outlined in the notice.
