Sale of Post-Consumer Lead Acid Batteries

The Fort Knox Qualified Recycle Program is soliciting bids for the sale of one load of post-consumer lead acid batteries, totaling approximately 42,212 pounds across fifteen skids, under solicitation number QRP26-0013. This is a government sale conducted under NAICS code 423930, with bids due by 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on June 23, 2026. Interested parties must complete and return the attached sales solicitation/agreement, ensuring all required fields—including signature, date, address, telephone number, and initials on every page—are filled out, with the company’s offer price clearly entered on page two. Bids must be submitted via email to jamie.l.daley2.naf@army.mil and anita.l.overton2.naf@army.mil or by fax to (502) 624-5672, and must include a completed Pre-Award Survey. The award will be made to the highest conforming offer based solely on price, with responsiveness being a mandatory pass/fail criterion; non-responsive bids may be rejected at the program’s sole discretion. The winning bidder is responsible for all transportation and removal of the material at no cost to the government, and must arrange pickup within five working days of notification during Fort Knox QRP operating hours of 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM EST, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Access to the installation requires subjecting vehicles to inspection by law enforcement authorities at any time. Weighing procedures are strictly controlled: tare and gross weights are determined using certified government scales at Building 2962, with both the bidder and a QRP representative required to be present to certify and sign the weight ticket; invoicing is based exclusively on these government measurements. Payment is due within fifteen calendar days of pickup, made payable to US Treasury Payables, Fort Knox QRP, and must be sent to the designated mailing or physical address. The bidder must certify accountability for the batteries and assurance of proper recycling in compliance with federal, state, and local laws, and must provide a recycling certificate within 45 days of receipt, specifying the invoice number, quantity received, and date of receipt. Failure to comply with any contractual terms, including timely pickup or certification, may result in a ten-day notice of default, and failure to cure may lead to loss of all rights, title, and interest
