The Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration, is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors for trash removal services at the West Virginia National Cemetery. This is a request for information, not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, aimed at gathering data to inform future acquisition decisions. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this service is 562111, with a size standard of $47 million. Interested contractors are requested to submit a capabilities statement by January 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. The statement should include company information, an expression of interest in bidding, a description of the company's capability to perform the work, three examples of comparable projects from the last five years (including project description, customer name, and dollar value), business size (e.g., Large Business, HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, 8(a)), and DUNS number. Service-Disabled Veteran Owned and Veteran Owned Small Businesses must be certified in VetBiz, and all contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Questions and responses should be emailed to Marshand Boone at Marshand.boone@va.gov. A formal solicitation, if issued, will be announced separately on the SAM website.
This Work Statement outlines the requirements for non-hazardous waste collection and disposal services at the West Virginia National Cemetery. The contract is a firm-fixed price for one year with four renewal options. The contractor must provide a 30-cubic-yard open-top roll-off dumpster, factory new or newly refurbished, watertight, rodent, and fireproof. Services include weekly scheduled pickups and on-call pickups within 24-48 hours. Work hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, excluding federal holidays, with weekend work at the COR's discretion. The contractor is responsible for all permits, licenses, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. No recycling or on-site burning is permitted. Communication and coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) are crucial, especially to avoid disturbing burial services. Contractor personnel must maintain a professional appearance and conduct, adhering to strict decorum due to the sensitive nature of the cemetery.
