The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source bridge contract to Corporate Waste Solutions for waste and recycling collection and disposal at VA Healthcare White River Junction. The bridge would have an 8-month base period to continue services while VA develops a new base-plus-four-option-years contract. The incumbent’s current contract ends on 9/30/2026 with no extension ability, and a prior competitive procurement was protested twice, most recently dismissed on 8/19/2026 with VA taking corrective action. Corporate Waste Solutions is positioned to continue service immediately without a critical delay because it already has the equipment, staff, and site-specific knowledge in place. Interested parties may contact the Contracting Specialist by email, and the Contracting Officer retains discretion on whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses.
