What this contract is for

FCI Sandstone, Minnesota is looking for a compost manufacturer or like company to recycle our dehydrated food waste. We have two dehydrator units, which we use to dehydrate our scrap foods for weight reduction. The by-product produced from the process is nutrient-rich and is safe for commercial farming and gardening. We are looking for a company who could use the byproduct for making compost or using it for their farming or gardening needs. The product when dehydrated has an appearance like dry coffee grounds. We are looking for a company who would provide a 2–3-yard storage container for the product with a pickup schedule of every other week, pickups could vary depending on storage containers size. As the product can be used to generate benefits, we would like to set up a contract to sell the product to a vendor. Please see the attached lab results for the nutrient values of the by-product.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
