Sale of Used Cooking Oil or Used Vegetable Oil

The Fort Knox Qualified Recycle Program is soliciting bids for the sale and removal of used cooking oil or used vegetable oil under solicitation number QRP26-0011, with a contract period running from May 22, 2026, to May 22, 2027. This government sale involves the pickup of approximately 15,000 pounds annually from over ten dining facilities across the Fort Knox installation, including fixed and seasonal locations, with all collections required to occur within five working days of notification during designated hours of 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Bidders must provide their own trucks, possess valid state licenses for hauling used cooking oil, comply with Fort Knox access protocols, and undergo vehicle searches upon entry. The contract operates under a fixed-price mechanism tied to the monthly Jacobsen Chicago Yellow Grease Market Index, where the bidder proposes a price per pound either over or under the published index, which must be submitted by the second business day of each month; payment is calculated based on actual weights verified using government scales at Building 2962, with no other weighing methods accepted. The award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with responsiveness to all technical requirements—including weight certification, spill response, regulatory compliance, and complete form submission—being mandatory. Bidders must sign and initial every page of the form, provide full contact information, and submit their bid via email to Jamie Daley and Anita Overton no later than 2:00 p.m. EST on May 21, 2026. Invoicing is handled internally by Fort Knox QRP within five working days following pickup, and all spillage incidents must be immediately reported to the Fire Department and Environmental Management Division at the bidder’s expense. The government assumes no responsibility for transportation, storage, or environmental liability, and bidders must be prepared to handle operations under the full burden of compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations including immediate cleanup and containment of spills. No formal FAR clauses, CAGE codes, UEI numbers, socioeconomic certifications, or attachment lists are required or referenced, and the solicitation is structured around custom articles rather than standardized federal contract language.
