Narcotics Destruction

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through its Mission Support Contracting Division and Customs & Border Protection, is seeking qualified vendors to provide narcotics destruction services under a five-year, single-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price contract. The solicitation, numbered 70B03C26Q00000171, was issued as a combined synopsis and Request for Quotes under FAR Part 12 for commercial services, with no set-aside or preference given to small or socioeconomic categories, making it an unrestricted acquisition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 562211 for Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal applies, indicating the nature of the required services. Offerors must respond to the Statement of Work, Price Schedule, and Questions & Answers attached to the solicitation, with submissions due by July 27, 2026. The Government will transport all narcotics to the contractor’s facility fully palletized and stretch-wrapped on wooden pallets, and the contractor is solely responsible for destruction and disposal, including forklift-assisted unloading; no repackaging, transportation, labeling, or packaging supply is required of the vendor. The contract performance location is not specified in detail, but all services must be performed at the contractor’s approved facility, with acceptance occurring upon delivery of the narcotics to that site. No formal inspection criteria, preservation standards, or marking requirements beyond basic packaging are outlined in the available documentation, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative has been designated. Payment and invoicing mechanisms are unspecified, and no accounting or appropriation data have been provided. The contracting officer is Starla VanWinkle, and all inquiries must be directed through the official solicitation portal or physical address in Washington, DC.
