This contract is an Invitation for Bid (IFB-33-6025) issued by DLA Disposition Services Headquarters under the Department of Defense for the sale of non-metallic scrap property located in Columbus, Ohio. The solicitation is strictly for the purchase of surplus government property, explicitly not a service contract, and requires bidders to submit full, all-or-nothing bids for the entire inventory, which includes textile scrap such as webbing, rope, nylon, rayon, wool, cotton rags, burlap, osnaburg, canvas, polyester, poncho scrap, leather, mattresses, hawser scrap, and sleeping bags, with estimated quantities ranging from 100,000 to 1,500,000 pounds during the base 36-month period, and optional extensions of up to two additional 12-month periods bringing the maximum contract duration to 60 months. Bidding must be completed by June 9, 2026, and submitted to DLA Disposition Services in Battle Creek, Michigan via email, fax, or electronic transfer, with no physical mailing required. The sale is conducted on an “as is, where is” basis, meaning the buyer assumes all risk, responsibility for removal, transportation, and associated costs from the government site upon transfer of title, and must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including environmental, safety, and occupational regulations under OSHA, EPA, RCRA, and 41 CFR guidelines. Bidders must demonstrate responsibility through financial capability, proper licensing, environmental compliance, and a strong safety record, and may be subject to a pre-award survey. The award decision is not based solely on the highest price but involves a trade-off assessment considering responsiveness, bidder responsibility, and price, with the most advantageous bid selected. Key contractual obligations include immediate notification and handling of any classified material found during removal, no subcontracting without prior written approval, strict prohibition on using the DoD or DLA brand for marketing, retention of all records for six years post-performance, and compliance with reporting requirements for agents, brokers, and payments tied to contract award. The buyer must also maintain required insurance and bonding throughout performance, pass unannounced inspections, and adhere to packaging and labeling standards including completion of SF-364 and DLA Form 1367 with accurate weight documentation.
