OWD: Solid Waste Management Plan

The District of Columbia’s Department of Public Works is forecasting a contract to develop a comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, aimed at improving the efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance of the city’s waste handling systems. The plan is expected to outline strategies for waste reduction, recycling optimization, landfill management, and potential expansion of composting or waste-to-energy initiatives, aligning with municipal environmental goals and future infrastructure needs. Although specific funding or timeline details are not yet finalized, the opportunity has been posted as a forecast with an official date of July 23, 2026, indicating it is in the preliminary planning phase and likely to be released for bidding in the near future. The contract will be managed by the Public Works agency under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, with performance expected to take place within the city limits. No North American Industry Classification System code, set-aside provisions, or point of contact information have been provided at this stage, suggesting the solicitation is still under internal development. Interested parties should monitor the official procurement portal for updates, as the opportunity may soon be formally solicited with detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission deadlines. This initiative reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to enhancing environmental stewardship and operational resilience in its public waste services.
