Scrap Sale, Metallic & Non - Metallic Sale; IFB 33-6032, Columbus, OH

This is a surplus property sale solicitation issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services for metallic and non-metallic scrap located in Columbus, Ohio, under solicitation number 33-6032. Bids must be submitted by July 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and are accepted only via mail, telegram, or in-person delivery to the designated office in Battle Creek, Michigan. The sale is not a service contract; it involves the transfer of title to scrap materials upon removal from the installation site, with the purchaser responsible for all costs related to loading, transportation, and regulatory compliance. Title vests at the point of removal, and the government assumes no responsibility for logistics, carrier coordination, or delivery beyond the location of the property on the installation. Payment must be made in U.S. currency or approved credit instruments, with no invoicing system specified, and no estimated contract value is provided due to the absence of line-item pricing. All bidders must comply with strict handling and transportation regulations, particularly regarding hazardous materials, which require adherence to Department of Transportation standards under 49 CFR 170–189, including proper labeling, UN identification numbers, hazard class markings, and placarding. Containers previously holding hazardous substances must be treated as if still full. Specific requirements also apply to asbestos handling under 29 CFR 1910.1001 and 40 CFR 61.20, as well as to compressed gas cylinders and chlorobromomethane fire extinguishers, which must be permanently mutilated on-site using approved methods such as torch cutting or crushing, with full respiratory protection mandated during the process. Documentation such as delivery verification, end-use certificates, and import/export certifications must be submitted within specified timeframes, and records must be retained for two years. The government retains audit rights and may inspect records or premises but does not perform inspections; the purchaser bears full responsibility for compliance, safety, and certification. No small business set-asides, socioeconomic requirements, UEI or CAGE codes, or electronic submission methods are mandated, and the award will go to the most responsible and responsive bidder whose offer is most advantageous to the government, considering both price and non-price factors.
