Emergency Chemical Stabilization of Shock-Sensitive Material

This subcontract, issued by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, involves the emergency chemical stabilization of a highly hazardous material. The project requires the controlled chemical treatment of a 50-gram container containing a mixture of Ethanol, Water, and Silver Azide. Because this specific material is sensitive to both shock and temperature, the primary objective is to render the substance non-reactive to ensure it is safe for subsequent transport and final disposal. The work is scheduled to be performed in La Jolla, California, under NAICS code 562910. The contract was posted on November 17, 2025, and focuses on the critical mitigation of immediate chemical risks associated with the unstable compound.
