On-site Treatment of Regulated Medical Waste Systems

The Department of Veterans Affairs established this Master BPA for on-site regulated medical waste treatment systems on December 1, 2014, with a final ordering deadline of November 30, 2019—the vehicle is now closed to new orders and has been since mid-2019. The BPA procures three levels of treatment systems together with site assessment, installation, training, standard operating procedures, warranty, and maintenance support. Ordering is no longer available; all 16 task orders were placed between October 2015 and September 2019, with activity peaking in 2018 at seven orders.

San-I-Pak Pacific, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 15 of 16 awarded task orders and $13.5 million of the $13.8 million combined potential value. Red Bag Solutions, Inc. holds the single remaining order valued at $275 thousand. All task orders are unrestricted, non-set-aside awards on a firm fixed price basis. Nearly 99 percent of the vehicle's combined potential value has been obligated, with $13.6 million of $13.8 million consumed across the task-order portfolio.

Customer concentration is moderate. The top five using organizations—Veterans Integrated Service Networks 7, 9, and 10, VA Headquarters, and VISN 16—account for roughly 63 percent of the 16 orders and span multiple VA operating components. Eleven distinct VA and non-VA agencies placed orders at some point over the vehicle's active life.

Task-order values range from approximately $20 thousand (a maintenance service call) to roughly $1.45 million (a medical waste sanitizer/compactor system installation), with typical delivered values in the $800 thousand to $1.2 million range for complete system installations. Order durations varied widely, from single-year service and maintenance work to multi-year system deployments with ultimate completion dates extending into 2023. Firm fixed pricing was applied uniformly.

This vehicle is inactive and unsuitable for new pursuit. The ordering period closed more than six years ago, and the awardee roster is firmly established and fully obligated.

A VA Enterprise-wide agreement that allows for the purchase of three levels of on-site Regulated Medical Waste (RMW) treatment systems which includes site assessment, installation of the RMW Treatment Systems, initial training, standard operating procedures and practices, warranty, and procedures for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
