The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) seeks proposals for a waste removal and single stream recycling services contract based in Cincinnati, covering a five-year period from November 3, 2024, to November 2, 2029. This contract aims to provide waste and recycling services at three NIOSH facilities: Taft Laboratory, Hamilton Laboratory, and Taft North Facility. Each building will have specific dumpster arrangements for trash and recyclable materials, with service frequencies outlined. The contractor must be a certified waste management firm capable of complying with local, state, and federal disposal regulations.
There will be no government-furnished equipment for this contract, and the contractor must gain access through a security process. Additionally, compliance with Section 508, which ensures accessibility for individuals with disabilities, is a requirement for any electronic and information technology services proposed. The document also reserves the right for HHS to invoke priorities related to public health in accordance with federal regulations. The primary objective is to establish efficient, compliant waste and recycling services across NIOSH Cincinnati's facilities, ensuring effective waste management and environmental responsibility.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for waste and recycling services for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) campus in Cincinnati for the contract period from November 3, 2024, to November 2, 2025, with potential option years extending up to November 2, 2029. This initiative aims to secure a certified waste management contractor to manage waste and recycling across three NIOSH buildings, following specific local, state, and federal regulations. Key tasks include providing appropriate dumpsters, frequent collection of waste and recyclables, and compliance with all environmental standards.
The document details the submission guidelines for quotations, including deadlines for questions and proposals, and specifies that the award will go to the lowest price technically acceptable offer. The RFQ prioritizes small business participation, reflecting a commitment to supporting local economies. This acquisition is vital for maintaining sustainability efforts within federal operations while ensuring safe and efficient waste management practices.
