On-Site Chemical Stabilization of Picric Acid

This subcontract involves the emergency chemical stabilization of three 100-gram containers of picric acid located at the University of Southern California campus in Los Angeles. Because the material is both shock- and temperature-sensitive, the scope of work requires the establishment of a formal exclusion zone and the execution of a controlled neutralization process to ensure safety. The project is managed under the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and is categorized under NAICS code 562910. Performance of these specialized hazardous material services will take place entirely on-site in Los Angeles to mitigate the immediate risks associated with the unstable chemicals.
