U.S.C.G. Sector Northern New England Trash Removal

The United States Coast Guard Sector Northern New England is seeking a small business contractor to provide comprehensive solid waste and construction debris removal services at its facilities in South Portland and Portland, Maine, for a one-year period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, vehicles, and materials necessary to perform twice-weekly removal of municipal solid waste from five 8-yard containers—four located at 259 High Street in South Portland and one at Wrights Wharf in Portland—while also providing on-demand hauling services for a 30-yard roll-off container at the High Street location, with an estimated 10 hauls and 30 tons of waste annually. All MSW containers must be equipped with durable, functional lids to prevent wildlife access and litter dispersion, and the contractor is fully responsible for maintaining all containers in clean, sanitary, and structurally sound condition, with repairs or replacements required within five business days of notification. Service must be completed by 5:00 PM on scheduled days, and “as-needed” hauls must be performed within 48 hours of request, with missed pickups or spills addressed within 24 hours at no additional cost. Hazardous materials such as paint, oil, batteries, and tires are strictly prohibited, and all transport must prevent contamination of nearby waterways, particularly at Wrights Wharf. The contractor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and adhere to the Service Contract Act, including payment of prevailing wages and benefits as determined by the Department of Labor. Vehicles must be clearly marked with the contractor’s name or logo, and all personnel must present government-issued photo identification to gain access to the secure installations. Invoicing is mandatory through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), requiring submission of landfill weight tickets for disposal tonnage, and WAWF is not used. A Quality Assurance Inspector will monitor performance based on three key criteria: timely service, cleanliness, and container condition, with three failures in a year constituting unsatisfactory performance and potential termination. The acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562111, requiring offerors to be certified as small businesses in SAM and provide required representations under FAR clauses including 52.212-3, 52.204-6, and 52.204-7.
