Notice of Solicitation Cancellation

Solicitation 70Z036-26-Q-TRASH085 for USCG Base Charleston Trash Account Management and Payment Processing was canceled effective June 25, 2026, with no contract award to be issued. The acquisition was originally intended to be a firm fixed-price purchase order for account management and monthly payment processing of trash invoices across USCG units in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, with performance centered in North Charleston, SC. The contract would have covered a base year from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with two optional one-year extensions, for a maximum total duration of five years. All proposals were required to meet a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, where technical capability served as a pass/fail gate: any offeror rated "Unacceptable" for noncompliance with the Statement of Work was disqualified. The procurement was 100% set aside for small businesses under the SBA, with mandatory compliance with FAR 52.212-3, 52.212-4, 52.212-5, and the newly enacted FAR 52.222-90 regarding DEI discrimination, alongside HSAR clauses effective June 11, 2025. Offerors were required to be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier and Tax Identification Number, and submissions had to be provided via email by 11:00 AM EST on June 19, 2026, including a completed SF-1442 bid, technical proposal, and properly completed SF-1449 blocks. Invoices, if awarded, were to be submitted exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with payment processed via Electronic Funds Transfer and coordinated through the USCG Finance Center. The government encouraged site visits to understand operational conditions, and all contract modifications were to be authorized only by the Contracting Officer, Julia Kline, with no delegation of authority permitted.
