Biomedical Waste Disposal

The U.S. Marine Corps is soliciting commercial biomedical waste disposal services at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island in Jacksonville, Florida, through a combined synopsis and solicitation issued as a Request for Quotation under FAR Part 12. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562211, with a size standard of $47 million, and requires offerors to be certified as small businesses in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE Code. The contract will cover the removal, transportation, and disposal of regulated biomedical waste—including sharps, blood-contaminated materials, and human body parts—from two specified buildings on the installation, with services performed in accordance with Florida Administrative Code Chapter 64E-16, OSHA standards, and Marine Corps directives. Waste must be packaged in impermeable red bags or compliant sharps containers, clearly labeled with the universal biohazard symbol and appropriate textual identifiers, and transported directly to a permitted Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility without secondary packaging or specific preservation methods. Performance is required under a base year beginning May 19, 2026, with four optional one-year extensions and a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, totaling up to five years and six months of service. Pricing is to be submitted for each line item corresponding to each facility, with FOB Destination terms preferred. The Government will evaluate offers based on technical compliance, price reasonableness, and SPRS assessment, using a best-value trade-off approach rather than LPTA. Offers must include a written operating plan and adhere to all labeling, documentation, and regulatory requirements, with acceptance occurring upon delivery to the TSDF and verification of waste manifests and LDR forms. Submission is electronic via email to designated points of contact by May 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST, and invoicing must be processed through WAWF. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses related to procurement integrity, including prohibitions on business with the Maduro regime and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, whistleblower protections, and representations regarding prior DoD official compensation. No pricing details are provided in the solicitation; offerors must submit their own unit and extended prices. The contracting office is located in Albany, Georgia, but all performance occurs at the Jacksonville facility.
