S--AK IZEMBECK NWR DRUM DISPOSAL

This contract pertains to the disposal of hazardous waste, specifically 55-gallon drums, from the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Cold Bay, Alaska, under solicitation number 140FS126Q0094. The effort is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562211, with a proposed extension of the solicitation deadline to May 5, 2026, and a response deadline of June 5, 2026. The work involves comprehensive hazardous waste management including sampling, characterization, packaging, labeling, manifesting, transportation, and final disposal at an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation–authorized Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility. All activities must comply with RCRA, EPA, DOT, and state-specific requirements, with packaging and labeling adhering strictly to federal hazardous materials regulations. The contract is awardable on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with evaluation focused on technical acceptability and past performance, and payment must be processed through the Invoice Processing Platform. Performance is expected to conclude by September 30, 2026, with work to commence within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed. The place of performance is remote and logistically complex, requiring contractors to account for Alaska’s environmental and transportation challenges. Deliverables include a detailed Work Plan, chain of custody documentation, hazardous waste manifests, photographic records, laboratory analytical results, field notes, and a final electronic report—all of which become government property. FOB terms designate destination delivery, meaning the contractor retains responsibility until waste reaches its disposal facility. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with a current UEI and disclose any use of covered telecommunications equipment under Section 889 of the NDAA. Sustainability requirements mandate the use of EPA-designated environmentally preferable products where applicable, including ENERGY STAR, USDA BioPreferred, and FEMP-compliant items. The government retains final acceptance authority at its office in Bloomington, Minnesota, and has reserved options to extend the contract term up to an additional six months under FAR clauses 52.217-8 and 52.217-9. All proposals must include pricing for options, be submitted electronically, and contain proper confidentiality markings for proprietary information. The contracting office is located in Falls Church, Virginia, with primary point of contact Richard Marshall and COTR Robert McGinn overseeing administration.
