This is a justification for a sole-source, emergency bridge contract for medical waste disposal services at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System in California. The requirement is for comprehensive services including pick-up, disposal, and management of all regulated medical waste streams. The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency, stating a delay would be detrimental to facility and patient safety. The contract is necessary to maintain continuity of services as the current contract expires on December 31, 2025. The agency plans to conduct a full competition with a solicitation package to be submitted no later than January 31, 2026.
