How to bid on Hazardous/Non-Hazardous materials services for the DEPT of the Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Navy needs companies to provide comprehensive services for receiving, transferring, and disposing of large quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. These materials will come from a major, long-term construction project in Washington state.
The services include handling upland excavated soils, dredge spoils, building demolition materials, and generic construction and demolition debris. The estimated quantities are substantial: up to 250,000 cubic yards per year of excavated/dredged material and up to 30,000 tons per year of solid demolition material. This is an opportunity for an eight-year period of performance.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes. The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET. After this date, the Navy will review the submitted capability packages.
All industry questions and government responses related to this RFI will be posted publicly on SAM.gov up to three days after the close of the market research period. This RFI does not guarantee a contract award, but qualified participants who respond will receive personal notifications if an official Request for Proposal (RFP) is posted later.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms specializing in waste management, particularly those with experience in handling hazardous and non-hazardous construction and demolition debris. Relevant NAICS codes include 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), and 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill).
Companies must be located in or serve King, Pierce, Kitsap, or Mason Counties, Washington. A critical requirement is that the primary receiving/transfer location must have capable barge access, offloading, and transfer systems to move materials to a suitable upland disposal site.
