Metals Analysis Using TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)

The contract involves conducting Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing on metal samples to evaluate their potential for leaching hazardous substances under simulated landfill conditions. The goal is to determine whether the waste meets the criteria for classification under RCRA hazardous waste codes D004 through D011 and associated UHC metal thresholds, ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations. This work is critical for proper waste characterization and disposal classification, particularly for defense-related materials that may contain regulated metals. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and is tied to the NAICS code 541611 for environmental consulting services. The contract was posted on July 15, 2026, and performance is expected to align with DLA requirements, though specific geographic performance locations are not detailed. The work will support the agency’s responsibility to manage industrial and military waste in accordance with federal standards, with results directly impacting waste handling, transportation, and disposal protocols for affected materials.
