STLI Trash Removal Services (TRS)

The Department of the Interior's National Park Service is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract for comprehensive trash removal services at the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island. This small business set-aside under NAICS 562111 covers a five-year period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031, consisting of a base year and four option years. The contractor is responsible for the collection, transport, and disposal of municipal solid waste, recyclables, and construction debris. Key operational requirements include the provision and maintenance of watertight, leak-proof compactors and containers, with a mandate for 24-hour emergency response and strict adherence to sanitation and pest prevention standards. Due to the unique geography of the sites, the contractor must possess specialized capabilities for transporting heavy refuse vehicles via barge to Liberty Island and across the Ellis Island Service Bridge. Award evaluation is based on a trade-off approach, heavily weighting technical capability (40%) and operational capacity (30%) over price (10%). All personnel must undergo government background checks to obtain required park identification. Invoicing is mandated through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and all waste must be disposed of at state-approved facilities with documented proof of compliance.
