Notice of Intent to Sole Source: Solid Refuse Collection and Disposal at USCG Base Ketchikan

The United States Coast Guard Base Ketchikan has issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to the City of Ketchikan for non-hazardous waste collection and landfill services. This requirement falls under NAICS 562111 Solid Waste Collection and PSC S205 Housekeeping- Trash/Garbage Collection. The City of Ketchikan is the sole qualified provider for these services, as it exclusively owns and operates the local landfill and mandates via municipal policy that all commercial solid waste collection within city limits be performed by its public works department. There are currently no formal agreements between the city and other vendors to provide these services, and any delays in waste management would impact health and operational readiness at the base.

The procurement will be conducted as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12, with performance taking place at USCG Base Ketchikan in Ketchikan, Alaska. Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to the Contracting Officer, Benjamin Reedy, for consideration. The deadline for responses is June 22, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Alaska time. The government will use these submissions to determine whether to transition the procurement to a competitive basis, a decision that remains at the government's sole discretion. This solicitation, identified by number 70Z03526NKETC002, does not include any set-aside restrictions.
