Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VISN 5) is conducting a market‑research Sources‑Sought notice to identify contractors capable of providing comprehensive hazardous‑waste management services for dozens of VA Medical Centers and Community‑Based Outpatient Centers across the Mid‑Atlantic region. The effort will result in an Indefinite‑Quantity Indefinite‑Delivery‑Quantity (IDIQ) firm‑fixed‑price multiple‑award task‑order contract (MATOC) for a period of roughly five years. Services include waste characterization, collection, transportation, disposal, controlled‑substance destruction, lab‑pack provisioning, emergency spill response, training, and extensive reporting/record‑keeping.
• Conduct waste and hazardous‑material characterization (sampling, testing, EPA SW‑846, TCLP, etc.) for hazardous, universal, pharmaceutical, radioactive, and special waste streams.
• Provide twice‑monthly collection from Satellite Accumulation Areas, transport to Central Accumulation Areas, and final disposal at permitted TSDFs or recycling facilities; include lab‑pack services and provision of containers, drum dollies, and PPE.
• Deliver 24 × 7 emergency spill response (2‑hour onsite arrival), annual DOT & RCRA training (up to 100 employees per location), and maintain a centralized electronic waste‑tracking database with required manifests, biennial reports, and certificates of destruction.
