On-Site Chemical Stabilization of Peroxide-Formed Diethyl Ether

The contract requires the controlled chemical stabilization of ten 500-milliliter containers of diethyl ether that have developed hazardous peroxides, to be performed on-site within a designated exclusion zone at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. This work involves safely neutralizing the unstable peroxide compounds to eliminate the risk of explosion or uncontrolled reaction, adhering to strict hazardous materials handling protocols. The operation must be conducted with precision and safety measures in place to protect personnel, the surrounding campus environment, and nearby structures. The task is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls under environmental consulting and related services, and is being managed by the California Toxic Substances Control Department. Although the solicitation number and point of contact are not provided, the project is publicly listed with a posted date of June 23, 2026, and can be accessed via the provided California CEQA net link. The location of performance is specifically constrained to the exclusion zone at the college, requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel to perform the stabilization without external transfer of the hazardous material.
