About this file
This is a Questions and Responses document for federal contract opportunity 1232SA26Q1356 for Hazardous Waste Disposal services in Madison, Wisconsin. The document addresses clarifications and corrections to the original solicitation and answers follow-up questions from prospective offerors.
Key corrections made to the solicitation include: the closing date corrected to September 24, 2026 at 1100 CT (per SF 1449 Block 8), the set-aside designation changed to "Small Business" (per SF 1449 Block 10), the period of performance aligned across documents to October 1 through August 31, service frequencies for Cereal Crops and Environmentally Integrated Dairy Management units revised to once annually, and clarification that quotations must be emailed to the contracting officer listed as the point of contact. Regarding new questions, the contracting officer declined to provide estimated annual spending, value ranges, predecessor contract information, or IDIQ minimum guarantee and maximum value details, stating this is a new requirement. The pricing sheet was revised to address surcharge fees (ESI surcharges FEE 160), though specific unit definitions were not detailed in the response. Attachment I (Terms and Conditions, Instructions to Offerors, and evaluation criteria) was deleted and re-uploaded with revised documents to maintain proper document order. Past Performance Questionnaires must be submitted for both the prospective prime contractor and any proposed subcontractors. For exceptional services not provided with dedicated pricing lines (stabilization/reactive-waste work, PCB disposal, unknown-waste testing, and emergency assistance), contractors shall provide quotes on an as-needed basis, with the contracting officer determining whether to include such work on task orders.

1. The closing date. The SF 1449 block 8 reads 09/25/2026 1100 CT and the SAM.gov notice reads 09/24/2026 1100 CT. We are working to the earlier of the two until you tell us otherwise.

2. %he set-aside. SF 1449 block 10 is marked unrestricted with every program box empty, while the synopsis and the Attachment I clause list both carry FAR 52.219-6.

3. , the period of performance. The line items run 09/30 to 09/29; Statement of Work section 1.2 runs October 1 to August 31.
The C04_Attachment II - SOW para 1.2 has been changed to reflect the correct periods of performance.
4. Two quantity items. Statement of Work sections 1.3 and 5.0 give different service frequencies for the Cereal Crops and Environmentally Integrated Dairy Management units, and the Attachment III pricing sheet shows 64,384 on the ESI surcharges line in a column headed estimated annual number.
C04_Attachment II - SOW para 1.3 has been revised to once annually to match para 5.0
5. Where to send the quotation. We can find no submission address, portal or method stated in any of the seven attachments, and block 28 of the SF 1449 is not marked.
Normally quotations are emailed to the SAM listed POC. All quotations shall be emailed to me as this listed POC.
New Questions/Responses.
1. Estimated value and prior spending — Revised SF 1449, CLINs 0001 and 1001–4001; Attachment II, sections 1.2–1.3; Attachment III, estimated annual quantities:
Could you share the anticipated annual spending or estimated value range, distinguishing the base year from the full potential five-year period? Please also identify the predecessor contract number and incumbent prime contractor, and provide the most recent annual expenditures if available. Please confirm the IDIQ minimum guarantee and maximum value or direct us to the applicable provision.
No. And this is a new requirement.
2. Surcharge pricing — Attachment III, row 19, “ESI surcharges (FEE 160),” and posted Question/Response 4:
The sheet lists 64,384 as the estimated annual quantity in each year.
Is this a dollar basis to which a percentage applies, a count of billable units, or another measure? Please specify the intended unit, applicable cost base, and how offerors should enter the unit price and extended amount. The posted response clarifies service frequency but does not appear to address this portion of the question.
The pricing sheet has been revised to address the fees.
3. Current terms and evaluation — Attachment I, Terms and Conditions, marked deleted on September 18:
