The vendor will be the City of Ketchikan, Ketchikan, AK. This action is being awarded on a sole source basis pursuant to FAR 12.102(a). The City of Ketchikan is the only known and qualified vendor capable of providing the required waste collection services for Base Ketchikan. The local landfill is exclusively owned and operated by the City of Ketchikan. Furthermore, according to the City of Ketchikan's policy (Chapter 7.16), any commercial solid waste collection within the city limits must be performed by the city's public works department or through a formal agreement with the city. Currently, the City of Ketchikan does not have formal agreements with any other vendors to provide these services. Attempting to source this service from another vendor is legally and logistically precluded by municipal regulations, and any delays in waste management would hinder continued production, health, and operational readiness at Base Ketchikan. USCG Base Ketchikan, Ketchikan, AK will be the procuring entity for this effort. Performance will be located at Ketchikan, AK. The Government intends to acquire commercial items and services using the provisions, clauses, and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 562111. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact (benjamin.r.reedy@uscg.mil) no later than 22 JUN 2026, at 3:00 p.m., Alaska time. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. ## Award on USAspending - Recipient: City of Ketchikan (UEI CT2GETHQ3FU7) - Contract: 70Z03526PKETC0041, purchase order - Obligated: $58,500.00 - Competition: Not Competed Under SAP, 1 offers received - Link: solicitation number 70Z03526NKETC002 equals the FPDS solicitation identifier; same awarding office 70Z035 (high confidence) - Record: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_70Z03526PKETC0041_7008_-NONE-_-NONE-/ ## Publications - June 12, 2026: Presolicitation, due June 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM EDT.
