Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Waste Management Services at Mount Rushmore National Memorial for fiscal years 2027 through 2032. This document identifies Waste Connections of South Dakota Inc. (DBA - Kieffer Sanitation) as the sole source provider for these services.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for comprehensive solid waste and recycling collection services within various areas of Mount Rushmore National Memorial. This includes handling complex collection needs across multiple pickup locations within the park.
Contract & Timeline

- Duration: Base year (FY27) with four subsequent option years (FY28-FY32)
- Product Service Code: S205 (Trash/Garbage Collection Services)

Sole Source Rationale
Market research conducted by the park determined that Waste Connections of South Dakota Inc. (DBA - Kieffer Sanitation) is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary commercial waste management services at the required level in the area. They currently service Rapid City and surrounding communities and possess the unique ability to manage the park's specific and complex collection requirements. No other local companies were found with the requisite capabilities, and performing the service in-house was not deemed a viable alternative.
Acquisition Procedures
The acquisition will proceed using sole source procedures as outlined in FAR 6.103-1, and will utilize FAR Part 12 for Commercial Products and Commercial Services.
