The State of Washington, through its Department of Enterprise Services (DES), has issued a statewide contract (Procurement Identifier: 17222) for Scrap Metal Collection & Recycling Services. This contract is designed to facilitate the efficient removal, disposal, and sale of publicly-owned scrap metal across various state agencies and eligible entities. The overarching purpose is to provide a comprehensive, managed solution for scrap metal recycling, ensuring both environmental responsibility and potential financial return to participating organizations.
The scope of this contract encompasses the full management and supervision of scrap metal collection, including the provision of necessary equipment and collection units. Services are available in several formats to accommodate diverse needs: full-service collection, temporary placement for construction projects, single-use pickups, and will-call options. The contract specifically covers the collection of aluminum, copper, brass, and ferrous metals such as steel, cast iron, and titanium. Importantly, the contract stipulates that hazardous materials must be excluded from scrap metal bins to ensure safety and compliance.
A notable feature of this contract is its potential to generate revenue for participating entities, as the contract allows for payment in exchange for scrap metal collected. This creates an added incentive for agencies to responsibly manage and recycle their surplus metals.
The contract also supports the State of Washington’s commitment to supplier diversity and inclusion. It includes subcontractors, authorized resellers, and distributors who are certified as Washington State small businesses, OMWBE (Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises), or veteran-owned businesses. While not all subcontractors hold these certifications, the contract provides transparency by listing all subcontractors and their respective certifications.

It is important to note that no contractors have been awarded for the Eastern region at this time.
The contract is governed by RCW 39.26 and adheres to current State of Washington procurement policies and DES procurement processes. DES has determined that this contract is in the best interest of the State, ensuring compliance and value for participating entities.
For those interested in utilizing this contract, the process involves reviewing contractor offerings, directly consulting with sales representatives, and referencing DES Contract No. 17222 on purchase orders. Additional guidance and support are available through the designated Contract Administrator.
