S--Notice of Intent to Sole Source Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services

The Department of Veteran Affairs, specifically the Veteran Affairs Puget Sound Healthcare System at the American Lake Division in Tacoma, WA, plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Harold Lemay Enterprise, Inc. (dba Lakewood Refuse Services) to provide comprehensive solid waste and recycling services. These services include furnishing all necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision for the collection, removal, transportation, and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste and recycling generated at the facility. The procurement process aligns with FAR 13.501, and while this notice serves as an intent to negotiate without issuing a formal solicitation or request for offers, the agency invites all responsible companies to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations. Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of the ability to perform the required services. Submissions are due by 2:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time on September 5, 2016, and must be emailed directly to the specified VA contact. This opportunity is identified under solicitation number VA26016N0925 and falls under NAICS code 562111. The contracting office overseeing this notice is the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260), located in Vancouver, WA. No solicitation packages are currently available, and although the government intends to proceed on a sole source basis, it remains open to considering capable vendors who submit timely responses.
