S -- Base Recycling Services

The 375 Contracting Squadron at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois plans to award a sole source contract to Challenge Unlimited, Inc., a qualified nonprofit agency recognized under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, for base recycling services. This contract bypasses full and open competition based on the presence of a qualified nonprofit agency for the blind or severely handicapped, as stipulated in FAR 6.302-5(a)(2). The contract involves managing, operating, and maintaining the Resource, Recovery, and Recycling Program (RRRP) Facility at Scott AFB, with a focus on utilizing innovation and technology to perform recycling services effectively at various cleaning levels determined by the contractor. The contract’s period of performance spans from October 1, 2003, to September 30, 2004, with four additional follow-on periods anticipated. The contract is classified under NAICS code 421930 and is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically through the 375 Contracting Squadron. While funds are currently available and the notice is for informational purposes only, it does not obligate the government to award the contract. The point of contact for this opportunity is John M. Elliott, Chief of the Acquisition Flight Chief at Scott AFB.
