This procurement sought a firm‑fixed‑price contract to provide comprehensive solid‑waste storage, collection, and disposal services for all facilities of Richland County School District One. The district intended to award the contract to Waste Management of SC, Inc., but a protest by Capital Waste Services, LLC led to a suspension and eventual cancellation of both the award and the solicitation. The work includes supplying and maintaining containers, collecting and transporting waste, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing regular cleaning and disinfection. The contract was structured for an initial one‑year term (2023) with the possibility of multiple one‑year extensions up to 2027.
