THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Market at Dillwyn (Tiger Fuel Company) petitioned the Board for a simple hardship exemption process to keep using branded foam cups for up to one year under Virginia’s EPS ban. They have about 12,000 cups valued at roughly $3,000 and seek a locality-approved extension allowed by state law. The Board is scheduled to consider this request at the July 13, 2026 meeting. Legal and compliance advisors can help design the exemption framework, while packaging and alternatives vendors can propose compliant cup options and transition plans.
Request cites VDOE memo confirming ban and local authority to grant one-year exemptions for undue economic hardship.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
