Opportunity Snapshot: NOAA Fisheries Waste & Cardboard Collection — Pascagoula, MS
Federal Contractors Lab community — here’s a simple but important facilities support opportunity worth studying.
This requirement is for routine solid waste and cardboard collection services at NOAA Fisheries’ Mississippi Laboratories in Pascagoula, MS.
Scope of Work includes:
✅ Provide and service three dumpsters across two locations
✅ One 6-yard solid waste dumpster at the vehicle compound between Delmas Street and Watts Ave
✅ Pickup twice weekly: Tuesday and Friday
✅ One 8-yard solid waste dumpster at 3209 Frederic Street
✅ Pickup three times weekly: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
✅ One 6-yard cardboard dumpster at 3209 Frederic Street
✅ Cardboard pickup once weekly
✅ Additional pickups when requested by the Government
✅ Contractor provides all dumpsters, equipment, labor, transportation, and materials
Why this matters:
This work supports safe, sanitary, and compliant NOAA research facilities. Reliable waste removal helps prevent operational disruptions, safety issues, and environmental compliance problems.
Key contractor takeaways:
This is not just a dumpster drop-off job. The contractor must manage recurring service schedules, site access, container placement, waste handling, and cardboard recycling.
Access matters. Contractor personnel must comply with NOAA facility access rules, including REAL ID or approved federal identification requirements.
Compliance matters. Work must follow OSHA, EPA, local waste disposal rules, and Mississippi environmental requirements.
Past performance matters. Vendors must provide relevant references showing successful waste collection service.
Potential NAICS areas to research:
🔹 562111 — Solid Waste Collection
🔹 562119 — Other Waste Collection
🔹 562920 — Materials Recovery Facilities
🔹 561210 — Facilities Support Services
Go/No-Go questions for contractors:
Can you provide 6-yard and 8-yard dumpsters?
Can you service both locations on the required schedule?
Do you already operate in the Pascagoula area?
Can your drivers meet federal facility access requirements?
Can you handle cardboard collection and recycling properly?
Can you support occasional on-demand pickups?
Do you have relevant past performance references?
This is the type of opportunity where a compliant quote should clearly show reliable pickup scheduling, proper equipment, access readiness, environmental compliance, past performance, and realistic firm-fixed pricing.
Study the SOW, review the container locations, and think through what NOAA needs to see before trusting a contractor to keep these facilities clean, safe, and operational.
