AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source bridge contract to DBI Waste Systems INC to provide comprehensive waste and recycling pickup and disposal services for the VAMC CWM (LEADS, NORTHAMPTON) Healthcare System. This action is being taken under the authority of FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as previous procurement attempts did not result in a timely award and the current contract expires on September 30, 2026. The bridge contract is designed to prevent a lapse in critical services and the hazardous accumulation of waste while the agency develops a new base contract with four option years. The intended period of performance is an eight month base period running from October 1, 2026, to June 1, 2027. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary equipment, personnel, and backup resources to manage solid waste and recycling programs, including the collection, disposal, and the training and support required to maintain compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. This procurement falls under NAICS code 562111 for Solid Waste Collection and PSC S205. Because this is a sole source intent, no formal solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps.

Full Description
Notice of intent to award a sole source bridge contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for 8 Month Base with DBI Waste Systems INC 377 3rd st Everett MA for the VA Healthcare CWM (LEADS, NORTHAMPTON) to obtain Waste and Recycling pickup/disposal. While procuring a new Base plus 4 option years contract.
The current contract 36C24121D0009 ends on 9/30/2026 with no contractual ability to extend. The current RFQ 36C24126Q0568 did not result in an award in time to prevent a lapse in service due to a Protest. A new RFQ is being developed for a base plus 4 option years. This sole source bridge contract with the current vendor will continue service without interruption or risk of service while the new RFQ is being developed. No other contractor can be installed before the contract expiration date without creating a critical service delay. Which would result in hazardous accumulation of waste at the facility.
Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 562111 Solid Waste Collection with a $47 Million Size Standard. The PSC is S205.
The authority for this action is FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and Compelling Urgency due to not being able to award a new Base + 4 option years from RFQ 36C24126Q0133 and 36C24126Q0568.
