About this file
The file is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for an FBI solicitation to recycle approximately 17,000 pounds of expired hand sanitizer. The document details critical technical and logistical specifications, including the hand sanitizer's characteristics (Purell Advance Gel in 12.6oz, 64oz, and 16oz jugs, plus sanitizer wipes), hazard classifications (D001 UN 1987), and recycling requirements. Key compliance details mandate that the alcohol must be recycled into a product not burned for energy recovery, with potential need for an Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) permit.
The solicitation requires a contractor to handle pickup, transport, and recycling of the hand sanitizer in full compliance with EPA and DOT regulations. Documentation requirements include paper manifests, chain-of-custody records, and recycling certificates. The opportunity involves approximately 28 pallets of expired hand sanitizer, with the contractor responsible for ensuring proper recycling rather than simple destruction. Contractor discretion is allowed for prime/subcontractor credentials, insurance limits, and specific transportation methods, though EPA ID, transporter ID, facility permits, and potentially a TTB permit are required for submission.
