OWW Treatment and Recycling Services in Sasebo

The U.S. Navy, through the NAVSUP FLC Yokosuka Sasebo Office, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number N6264926RFI001 seeking industry input on the capability to provide Oily Wastewater (OWW) Treatment and Recycling Services for Energy Recovery Purposes at Sasebo, Japan. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or an intent to award a contract; responses are strictly informational and will not be compensated. The requirement calls for a contractor to handle at least 50,000 gallons of OWW per day, maintain a minimum total holding capacity of 2,000,000 gallons, and operate at least seven treatment and collection barges, each with a minimum capacity of 50,000 gallons and a treatment rate of 15,000 gallons per hour, along with one vacuum truck capable of holding 2,400 gallons. OWW may contain incidental traces of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), but concentrated or activated AFFF and associated cleaning water are explicitly excluded. Performance must occur entirely within Sasebo, including designated basins and naval facilities, with full compliance required across U.S. and Japanese environmental, safety, and regulatory standards including Japan Environmental Governing Standards (JEGS), CFASINST 5090.5, and DoD ELAP protocols. The contractor is obligated to adhere to a robust set of environmental management and reporting deliverables, including the submission of mandatory forms such as the Environmental Protection Plan (Form-D), Monthly Performance Report (Form-M), Weekly Barge Report (Form-N), PFAS sampling notifications and results (Forms A and B), spill notifications (Form-F), hazardous waste manifests (Form-J), and employee training records (Form-E). All forms may be contractor-developed as long as they include required data elements and are clearly labeled with their formal designations. Compliance with strict PFAS limits is mandatory, requiring treated effluent to contain no more than 50 parts per trillion (ppt) combined PFOS and PFOA, with non-compliant waste subject to up to four re-treatment attempts before mandatory off-base incineration. Pre-approval from the Government Environmental Point of Contact is required before any discharge, and an alternative disposal facility must be pre-identified and approved in the Environmental Protection Plan. The contractor must also implement spill prevention protocols, ensure
