P--GOVERNMENT ASST FEES

The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center plans to negotiate a sole source contract with the Solid Waste Authority for the provision of an Annual Waste Disposal Government Assessment Fee covering the fiscal year from October 1, 2011, to September 30, 2012. This fee pertains to the disposal of general waste generated from the Medical Center’s rented 39 Cubic yard compactor and is a recurring charge applied annually. Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence of their ability to meet the requirements by submitting their qualifications and capabilities in writing by September 30, 2011, via email only, as oral communications will not be accepted. The responses will be reviewed solely to determine whether a competitive procurement process should be initiated. If no qualifying responses are received by the deadline, the Department of Veterans Affairs will proceed with negotiations directly with the Solid Waste Authority. This contract falls under the NAICS code 326199, and the solicitation number for reference is VA24811RQ1734. The process emphasizes the importance of timely and documented submissions, with the intent to secure continued waste disposal services through a government assessment fee arrangement.
