The National Park Service (NPS) intends to procure solid waste collection services for the North Cascades National Park, specifically to collect, transport, and dispose of refuse in compliance with state regulations in Skagit County, Washington. Due to regulatory constraints from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, only licensed and insured solid waste companies can operate, limiting options for service providers. Waste Management LLC is currently the only vendor identified as capable of meeting the requirements. The NPS seeks a contractor to provide large-capacity dumpsters and additional waste containers as needed, utilizing vehicles with compactor units. The procurement will align with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and adhere to established tariff rates. Companies wishing to compete must provide proof of state certification and submit capability statements by the specified deadline, while phone inquiries are not permitted. This sole-source procurement reflects the unique regulatory environment governing waste disposal in Washington state.

Issued on March 17, 2025, the RFQ invites suppliers to submit quotes for a base year service period from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, with additional option periods extending from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2030.

The document indicates a focus on environmentally responsible waste management practices as a key service requirement, while also noting that suppliers must be aware that the submission of quotes does not obligate the government to contract or incur costs related to the preparation of those quotes.
