The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is preparing to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for refuse collection services at Terminus Dam/Lake Kaweah in Tulare County, California. The procurement aims to establish a Sole Source Firm-Fixed Price purchase order with Mid-Valley Disposal, the only vendor authorized under a franchise agreement with Tulare County, which restricts competition for these services. This acquisition is critical for maintaining waste management operations at the facility, and interested firms must respond within five calendar days of the notice publication to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirements. For inquiries, contact La Chad Jefferson at lachad.c.jefferson@usace.army.mil or by phone at 916-557-5236.
