S222--VCT Construction Dumpster Rental as needed Pre solicitation Notice

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 1, is seeking vendors to provide indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) dumpster rental services for construction and renovation debris at VA and federal sites across New England under solicitation number 36C24126Q0360. The contract, issued as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) IDIQ, covers the supply of 15-, 20-, and 30-cubic-yard open-top waste containers with delivery and removal required within five business days of request and 24-hour advance coordination with the Veterans Construction Team. The base period runs from June 2026 through January or May 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods extending performance through May 2031. Offerors must submit pricing and technical capabilities under the NAICS code 562111, with the Government evaluating proposals based on Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price, where price carries the greatest weight in a trade-off selection process rather than a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. All vendors must comply with a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, including whistleblower protections, prohibitions on confidential internal agreements, and mandatory representations under 52.212-3, such as Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and socioeconomic status certifications. The contract includes deviations for small business set-asides and subcontracting plans, with Alternate I and IV applied respectively, and requires adherence to Buy American statutes, Davis-Bacon wage determinations, and prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations or entities using covered telecommunications equipment under Section 889 of the NDAA. Performance must occur within the U.S., with risk of loss transferring to the Government upon delivery at the designated destination, and payment is strictly electronic via WAWF using EFT, with invoicing by fax, email, or scanned documents prohibited. The Solicitation has been amended once, Amendment P0001, to clarify vendor inquiries, with proposals due by May 26, 2026, and responses submitted via SF 1449 or electronic means to the contracting office in Brockton, MA. While no specific pricing or quantities are provided in the solicitation, offerors are expected to fill unit costs for each container size and option year, and all deliveries must meet federal packaging, marking, and compliance standards without specified MIL-STDs.
