This contract pertains to hazardous waste removal and disposal services for seven VA Healthcare Centers in the San Diego region, with performance located at the VA San Diego Healthcare System at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92161. The solicitation, numbered 36C26226Q0545, was posted on May 4, 2026, with a response deadline of May 8, 2026, and is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22 in Gilbert, AZ. The NAICS code 562211 defines the scope as hazardous waste collection and treatment. The contract includes a base performance period from September 13, 2026, to September 12, 2027, with four sequential one-year option periods extending through September 12, 2031. FOB terms are destination, meaning risk and transportation costs transfer to the Government upon delivery. All work must comply with federal, state, and local regulations including OSHA 29 CFR 1910, EPA RCRA Subtitle C, and DOT 49 CFR, with required certifications in HAZWOPER standards and submission of waste manifests, spill reports, and annual reports to the Contracting Officer’s Representative. Contractors must meet stringent compliance and certification criteria, including maintaining current SAM registration, submitting VA Form 10091 and W-9, and providing evidence of hazardous waste handling certifications. The solicitation requires detailed documentation of past performance through contract numbers, values, periods, and points of contact, with verification via CPARS. Proposal evaluation prioritizes technical approach, experience, and required documentation over price, using a trade-off methodology—not LPTA—to determine the best value. Payment will be processed electronically through the VA’s EIPP system, with invoices submitted exclusively via the designated portal. Special requirements include ownership transparency via UEI and CAGE codes, limitations on subcontracting for SDVOSB prime contractors (minimum 15% performance), and vehicle specifications requiring hydraulic lifts, spill kits, and specific drum types. Safety and reporting protocols mandate 24/7 spill response within four hours and submission of safety data sheets. Multiple FAR and VAAR clauses are incorporated, including those on identity verification, Kaspersky lab prohibitions, telecommunications restrictions, service labor standards, and electronic invoicing.
