Description

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) is conducting a market‑research Request for Information (RFI) to explore innovative ways to blend biosolids from its Piscataway Bioenergy Facility with other treatment residuals (water treatment residuals, sand, wood fines, etc.) to create higher‑value, sustainable products. Respondents are asked to submit a white‑paper (max 20 pages) describing their capabilities, proposed contracting strategy, and any permitted land they could provide for blending operations. The RFI seeks insight into technical feasibility, cost‑reduction potential, regulatory compliance, and possible commercial pathways for biosolids reuse. No solicitation package is attached; responses become WSSC Water property. • Target audience: contractors, waste‑management firms, and technology providers with experience in biosolids handling, blending, and product development. • Required deliverable: 20‑page PDF white paper by November 30 2026 (2:00 pm). • Key focus areas: operating‑cost reduction, reliable sustainable reuse pathways, land permitting, staffing and operational resources. • No mandatory pre‑bid meeting or site visit. • Responses may influence future formal solicitations, but participation does not guarantee award.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

The RFI itself does not specify a contract value; it is a market‑research exercise. However, if WSSC Water proceeds to a subsequent procurement for a full‑scale biosolids blending operation, typical contracts for similar waste‑processing projects range from low‑six‑figure pilot studies to multi‑million‑dollar full‑scale implementations. Based on the need for land, staffing, equipment, and ongoing operations, a reasonable ball‑park for the eventual award could be between $100,000 (small pilot) and $5,000,000 (large commercial facility). For the purpose of this estimate we use a conservative $100,000–$500,000 range reflecting an early‑stage contract or feasibility study.
