The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is preparing to solicit quotes for solid waste removal and recycling services at the New York Harbor Healthcare System and its affiliated facilities. The procurement will be structured as an Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) firm-fixed price contract, with services expected to commence on January 2, 2025, and continue through December 31, 2025, including an option for four additional years. This initiative is crucial for maintaining sanitary conditions and effective waste management within the healthcare system, and it is designated as a small business set-aside under NAICS code 562111. Interested contractors must register with the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their quotes via the SAM website, with the RFQ anticipated to be issued around October 7, 2024. For inquiries, contractors should contact Contract Specialist Lynn Krakowiak at Lynn.Krakowiak@va.gov.
