Hexavalent Chromium Cleanup

The Department of Defense, through the W6QK Acc-Apg Cont Ct Tyad Ofc, is seeking sources for the remediation of hexavalent chromium hazards at the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania. The scope of work involves providing all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to isolate, collect, and dispose of hazardous metal dust—primarily hexavalent chromium, with lead and cadmium as secondary hazards—from the Hand Sanding Room, Laser Strip Rooms, Masking Area, and adjacent aisleway in Building 30. The project requires a top-down sequential cleaning process utilizing HEPA vacuuming with 99.97% efficiency and chemical decontamination via heavy-metal chelating agents. The period of performance is 15 days, and the contractor must adhere to strict exposure thresholds and regulatory standards, including 29 CFR 1910.1026, 1910.1025, and 1910.1027, as well as ISO 14001 and TYAD Regulation 200-5. Contractors must ensure all hazardous materials and wastes are properly stored, labeled, and contained, with a final waste disposal manifest submitted electronically upon completion. Security requirements include strict adherence to DoD Instruction 5200.48 for the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information and the potential requirement of an Operations Security Plan. The government will monitor performance through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, and the Contracting Officer's Representative will verify compliance within the first 30 days of assignment. Additionally, contractors must manage any potential Organizational Conflict of Interest per FAR Subpart 9.5 and provide a mitigation plan to the Contracting Officer if necessary.
