Solid Waste Characterization Study

The Indian Health Service is forecasting a study to characterize non-hazardous waste generated at four of its facilities, aiming to better understand the composition, volume, and handling practices of waste streams not classified as hazardous. This effort, categorized under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services, will support improved waste management strategies, regulatory compliance, and potential sustainability initiatives across the IHS network. The work will require detailed sampling, analysis, and reporting to identify waste sources, trends, and opportunities for reduction or diversion from land disposal. The project is posted as a forecast with no solicitation number yet assigned, indicating it is in the planning phase and not yet open for bids. Point of contact for program inquiries is Andrea Taylor at andrea.taylor@ihs.gov, while the contracting officer position remains unassigned. The place of performance spans multiple IHS locations, though specific cities or states have not been disclosed. Contractors interested in this upcoming opportunity should monitor the official HHS OSDBU portal for the formal solicitation, expected to follow this forecast notice.
