Demilitarization training for the contractor will be provided by DLA. BACKGROUND: DLA Disposition Services disposes of foreign excess personal property of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). DLA Disposition Services receives property that is no longer required for use in the DoD and makes a determination whether the property is usable or scrap. If usable property is not needed for redistribution within the Federal U.S. Government, it may be donated to state and local U.S. Governments, sold to the general public, or processed for reclamation of specific metals and materials required for use by the DoD. Only material that has not been disposed of by these outlets or is determined to be scrap shall be subject to this contract. PURPOSE: The purpose of this solicitation is to award a contract for management services to include collecting, transporting, recycling, disposing, demilitarizing and de-manufacturing of scrap and recyclable material in an environmentally responsible and compliant manner. This solicitation does NOT involve disposal of hazardous materials (HM) or hazardous waste (HW). Scrap and recyclable materials may include range residue that have been assessed as safe (MDAS = Material Documented as Safe). OBJECTIVES: The objectives of contracting for scrap services are to ensure compliant scrap disposal management; to decrease disposal costs; to maximize economic off-sets; to reduce the U.S. Government's capital investment (facilities and equipment costs) and infrastructure; to reduce solid waste disposal through increased recycling; and to move property efficiently.

Site visits will help the offerors in determining the number and type of containers, labor, supplies and equipment that will be required to perform scrap / recycling services. Dates, times and locations of site visits will be specified in the solicitation. PRICE SCHEDULES: There will be two (2) price schedules. One price schedule will include DLA Disposition Services at Iwakuni, Misawa and Sagami and associated FCSs and the other price schedule will include DLA Disposition Services at Okinawa and associated FCSs. Offerors may bid on one or both price schedules. When bidding on a price schedule, offerors must submit a price for all contract line items on the schedule. Incomplete offers will not be considered. In addition to management services, recycling and disposal type contract line items, each price schedule will also include a contract line item for DEMIL/MUT and a contract line item for DEMAN.
