AI summary Beta
NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic is asking small businesses whether they can run the refuse transfer station and collect refuse and recycling at Cherry Point, NC. This Sources Sought will help decide whether to set the future contract aside for small business. It is expected to be a combined firm-fixed-price and IDIQ contract lasting up to 60 months including options.
Watch out for
- Short response window. Responses are due 14 October 2026, only about nine days after posting.
- Contractor must own heavy equipment. The contractor must supply a front-end loader, tractor-trailers and dumpsters, which is a large upfront cost.
- Minimum guarantee on base period only. Only the base period has a guaranteed minimum, so work in option years is not assured.
- Template text left in notice. Base period and option years still read as placeholder text, so the actual contract length is unclear.
Read from the notice text only.
