Fairfax County opens broad call for solid‑waste innovations; RFEI is not a procurement

Fairfax County Solid Waste Management Program · August 31, 2026

Summary

Fairfax County’s Solid Waste Management Program held a recorded information session to explain an RFEI seeking high‑level ideas — from technology to new facilities — to help meet zero‑waste goals; responses are due Oct. 30 and the RFEI will inform possible future procurements.

Fairfax County’s Solid Waste Management Program on a recorded information session reiterated that its request for expressions of interest (RFEI) is an information‑gathering step, not a procurement. “The RFEI is not a procurement and it does not constitute a solicitation, contract, or payment,” said Melissa McDonald, sustainability projects manager for the county program, in opening remarks.

McDonald said the RFEI is intended to surface innovations — from recycling and composting ideas to new infrastructure and public‑private partnerships — that could help the county meet long‑term targets, including a 25% reduction in waste generation from 2018 levels and a 90% diversion goal by 2040. The RFEI published Aug. 3; staff will accept responses through Friday, Oct. 30, and expect to review submissions through late 2026 with potential follow‑up and planning in early 2027.
