FCC Yazoo City FY 27 Grease Trap Maintenance and Cleaning

Solicitation # 09242026

Solicitation 09242026 is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for quarterly grease trap maintenance and cleaning services at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Yazoo City for Fiscal Year 2027. The scope of work involves the professional evacuation, mechanical scraping, and hydro-flushing of 11 grease trap units with a total capacity of 47,500 gallons across four functional zones: Camp Zone, Low Security I, Low Security II, and the USP-Medium Facility. Services must be performed four times per fiscal year, with payment strictly contingent upon the submission of verifiable legal disposal manifests to the Complex Food Service Administrator. All personnel must pass NCIC background checks to obtain necessary security clearances, and the contractor must maintain general business liability insurance with minimum limits of 50,000 dollars per occurrence and 100,000 dollars aggregate. Amendment 0001 materially revises the licensing requirements to increase competition after it was determined that few small business primes held the necessary state credentials. While the original solicitation required the prime contractor to be licensed, the revised clause allows the prime or its subcontractors to satisfy the technical requirements. Specifically, the entity performing the work must hold an MSDH Certified Pumper License, Mississippi solid waste hauling permits, and MDEQ disposal authorization. Offerors relying on subcontractors must provide copies of these licenses and a signed letter of commitment. Due to these material changes, the solicitation has been reopened with a revised proposal submission deadline of November 6, 2026, at 12 Noon EST.
