S--Solid Waste Collections

The Department of Veteran Affairs plans to award a sole source fixed price purchase order to Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) for solid waste collection services at the Salem VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia. RVRA has been identified as the only capable and responsible provider of these local waste collection services, which justifies the non-competitive nature of this procurement. Although this is not a request for competitive bids, the government will consider any expressions of interest received within three days, and interested contractors are encouraged to submit detailed information demonstrating their ability to perform the required services as alternatives to the intended source. This acquisition will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits other than full and open competition. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on the responses received. Expressions of interest should be submitted via email to the designated contact, Kimberly C. Wilson. The contract is identified with solicitation number 36C24619Q0343 and relates to NAICS code 221320 for electric power generation, transmission, and distribution services, specifically solid waste collections.
