SWMA - Dead Animal Collection

The District of Columbia Department of Public Works is forecasting a contract for the hauling and processing of dead animals, with the solicitation expected to be issued in the future. This effort is intended to ensure the safe and timely removal and disposal of deceased animals across the district, supporting public health and environmental standards. The contract will require qualified vendors to provide specialized equipment and trained personnel capable of handling carcasses in compliance with local regulations, including proper transportation, decontamination, and environmentally responsible processing methods. The work will be performed throughout the District of Columbia, with no specific location designated at this time, indicating citywide coverage is anticipated. While no set-aside guidelines, NAICS code, or point of contact information is currently available, interested parties should monitor the official procurement portal for the upcoming solicitation. The forecast notice was posted in July 2026, suggesting a future procurement timeline, and all vendors must be prepared to meet strict operational, safety, and regulatory requirements when the official request for proposals is released.
