This statement of work is for removal of hazardous chemical waste from a laboratory and garages used by the Fish and Wildlife Service. This is for a one-time removal of chemicals acquired over time for investigations on chemical contaminants in environmental media and fish and wildlife tissues, and for preservation of animal samples for identification purposes. The chemicals and associated records have been managed by chemical safety officers. Work under this contract must be completed by February 26, 2027. The total period of performance is October 27, 2026 through February 26, 2027.

Background

The New York Ecological Services Field Office (NYFO) in Cortland, New York has maintained laboratory space for processing and storage of environmental samples for on-site and/or off-site characterization, chemical analyses, sample preservation, and accumulated general household hazardous waste at 3815 Luker Road, Cortland NY and 3817 Luker Road, Cortland NY. During that time, chemicals required for sample collection and processing were purchased and stored at the NYFO lab for use, as needed. General household hazardous waste was purchased, utilized, and stored at NYFO as needed. All chemicals were acquired, stored and used in accordance with the NYFO Chemical Hygiene Plan maintained by the NYFO Collateral Duty Safety Officer.

Changes in projects and a decline in laboratory activities have resulted in the accumulation of outdated, and partially used chemicals and waste, some of which have hazardous classification. These wastes have been inventoried (06-01-2026 Lab Chemical Disposal Inventory NYFO and 06-01-2026 Garage Chemical Disposal) and Safety Data Sheets attached.

We anticipate no use for the chemicals in the future. NYFO would like to have the work covered by this contract completed by February 26, 2027.

Purpose/Objective

Due to the nature of some of the chemicals, disposal of the material will require special handling to comply with federal and state laws and Fish and Wildlife Service policy. The objective is to establish a contract with a company with local facilities who has the capacity to accept all the hazardous materials listed on the attached 10-22-2026 Lab Chemical Disposal Inventory NYFO, and direct and transport the materials to an appropriate final disposition that may include re-purposing, recycling, and potentially treatment and/or destruction.

Project Description

• Possess the knowledge, experience, permits, certifications, equipment, and supplies to package for transport the hazardous waste listed on the attached 10-22-2026 Lab Chemical Disposal Inventory NYFO, following applicable local, state, and federal laws and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service policy. This contract will include setting up a temporary EPA ID number through the National Electronic Manifest (e-Manifest) system.

• Have the equipment and knowledge to respond to and remediate an unplanned release or discharge of material on the 10-22-2026 Lab Chemical Disposal Inventory NYFO that may occur while handling the material in the warehouse or during transport and then package for transport the released or discharged material and any materials used as part of the response and remediation.
