Questions

What is a recycling RFP?

A recycling RFP (request for proposals) is a notice in which a government agency asks companies to collect, process or buy recyclable materials, with a price and a proposal sent by a deadline. Federal agencies publish them on SAM.gov as solicitations, combined synopsis/solicitations or requests for quotes; presolicitations and sources sought notices announce them earlier.

How many recycling RFPs are open right now?

8 on Nov 7, 2026, from 5 federal agencies in 8 states. 7 more are announced (presolicitations and sources sought notices). 6 of the open bids are set aside for small businesses. The list is updated every day from SAM.gov.

Which NAICS codes do recycling government contracts use?

Bids for this service mostly use 562920 (Materials Recovery Facilities), 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 562119 (Other Waste Collection). Check the NAICS code in each notice: it decides the size standard for small-business set-asides.

How much are recycling contracts worth?

The middle half of the 3 recent awards with a published amount was between $323.7K and $581.6K (median $456.7K), from SAM.gov award notices. The award amount is the value in the notice, often including options.

How do I bid on recycling government contracts?

Register your business in SAM.gov (free) to get a Unique Entity ID, check that your NAICS code and size fit the notice, read the full solicitation and its amendments on SAM.gov, and send your offer before the deadline. Set-aside bids are limited to eligible small businesses, such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB or WOSB firms.
