Biohazard and Sharps Cleanup Services

The Regional Transit Authority in New Orleans, Louisiana is seeking a vendor to provide biohazard and sharps cleanup services across various locations. The agency needs to resolve hazardous situations quickly to maintain public safety and keep transit services running without disruption. To ensure a rapid response, the agency requires a dedicated phone number checked regularly throughout the day and night, which can be a cell phone, a live answering service, or an office phone staffed twenty-four hours per day. The scope of work covers hazardous material cleanup and large-scale needle pickup performed onsite by properly trained and vaccinated individuals. The selected vendor must properly dispose of all collected hazardous material in accordance with safety regulations. The agency establishes strict response times, requiring a two-hour response for any incident that places a transit vehicle out of service or requires a stop closure. A four-hour response is required for incidents in public-facing areas that can be isolated without disrupting service, while non-emergency cleanup requests must be addressed within twenty-four hours. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 1, 2026.
