Local Small Business (LSB) Subcontracting Coordination

The contract requires the prime contractor to subcontract at least half of the total contract value to small businesses located in Richmond County that have at least two years of documented experience in waste services. This obligation is central to the award criteria and must be consistently upheld throughout the performance period. The work falls under NAICS code 562111, indicating it relates to solid waste collection services, and is managed by the City of Augusta in Georgia. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, with a firm response deadline of September 2, 2026. While no formal set-aside designation is specified, the requirement to prioritize locally based, experienced small businesses functions as a de facto economic development incentive aimed at strengthening the local waste services sector. All interested parties must ensure their subcontracting plans clearly demonstrate compliance with the 50 percent threshold and provide verifiable evidence of the two-year experience requirement from Richmond County-based firms. The contract is not tied to a specific location beyond the broader scope of Augusta’s operations, and all proposals must be submitted through the state procurement portal by the stated deadline.
