Los Alamos County Seeks Quotes for Glass Recycling Services by Feb. 24

The County of Los Alamos has solicited bids for Glass Recycling Services under Request for Quotes QUO26-50, calling for sealed responses submitted electronically through the county Procurement Portal and setting a firm deadline of Feb. 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.

A legal notice posted Jan. 29 reads in part: "QUO26-50, The County of Los Alamos is requesting quotes for Glass Recycling Services. Sealed responses (submitted electronically through the County’s Procurement Portal) will be received until Feb. 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mo" Another published fragment repeats the solicitation heading and notes sealed electronic submission: "COUNTY OF LOS ALAMOS REQUEST FOR QUOTES QUO26-50. Glass Recycling Services. Sealed Responses submitted electronically through the County's"

The notice makes clear the submission method and deadline but leaves several procurement details unspecified in the public fragments. The posting does not include a procurement portal link, a contact person or phone number, scope and specifications for the glass recycling services, contract term or estimated value, or evaluation criteria. Those elements typically shape who can respond and how proposals are scored, so their absence in the public fragment limits bidders' ability to prepare comprehensive quotes without obtaining the full RFQ documents from the county.

For local firms and haulers, the county invitation represents an opportunity to compete for municipal recycling business that could affect service patterns and revenue streams. For residents, the outcome will influence how glass is collected, processed, or diverted from landfill in Los Alamos County. Glass recycling logistics often determine whether curbside programs accept glass or whether drop-off systems and regional processors are used; the contract awarded following QUO26-50 will help define those operational choices.

The procurement window is short. Prospective vendors should secure the full solicitation materials and submission instructions as soon as possible so they can meet the Feb. 24 deadline and satisfy the requirement that responses be sealed and submitted electronically. County procurement offices customarily publish bid packets and contact information on their procurement portal; obtaining the complete RFQ will clarify whether the solicitation sets local-preference rules, pricing formats, performance standards, or reporting requirements.

What comes next for residents is procedural but consequential: the county will collect sealed electronic quotes through Feb. 24, then evaluate proposals and select a service provider under its procurement rules. The chosen contractor will shape glass handling and potentially the county’s waste-diversion performance, so residents and local contractors with an interest in recycling operations should monitor the procurement portal for the full RFQ and any subsequent notices.
