Scrap Lead Batteries

A minimum of 20,000 pounds of miscellaneous scrap lead acid batteries, palletized and shrink-wrapped, is being offered for sale by the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort under solicitation MBF2026005, with the government reserving the right to adjust the quantity delivered by up to 10 percent. Bids must be submitted by July 31, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST via email, mail, or hand delivery to the Commanding Officer at MCAS Beaufort, with Elon J. Wenrick serving as the primary point of contact for bid inquiries and site inspections, which are encouraged prior to bidding. The sale is conducted under NAICS code 423930 as a surplus property disposal, with award going to the highest responsive and responsible bidder based solely on price under a lowest-priced technically acceptable methodology. Buyers must submit a 20 percent deposit via certified check or postal money order payable to the U.S. Treasury before pickup, with full payment due within 15 days of invoicing, and payment must be made directly to the U.S. Treasury through specified channels. Material must be removed from MCAS Beaufort during business hours on weekdays, excluding federal holidays, using DOT-compliant vehicles equipped with spill control measures, and buyers are solely responsible for safe handling, secure loading, environmental compliance, and all liabilities associated with transportation and disposal. Acceptance occurs at the origin via weight verification at certified base scales and execution of a Bill of Lading, with the Government retaining the right to terminate for convenience or default, the latter resulting in forfeiture of deposit and potential debarment. Buyers must be U.S. citizens eligible for export licensing, indemnify the United States against all claims, comply with EPA, OSHA, and DOT regulations, and adhere to base access and safety protocols. No standardized FAR clauses are referenced, and the solicitation includes no attachments or explicit quality standards beyond regulatory compliance and packaging requirements. A Unique Entity ID and CAGE code are required for compliance, though no socioeconomic certifications or size status declarations are mandated.
