About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for FBI solicitation 15F06726Q0000094 regarding hand sanitizer recycling and disposal services. The Q&A clarifies key specifications and logistics for a surplus of expired hand sanitizer left over from the COVID-19 pandemic that the FBI needs to properly handle according to EPA and DOT regulations.
The material consists of 4 pallets containing 168 boxes with 2,016 bottles total (12 bottles per box, each 750ml), representing approximately 1,512 liters of 80% ethyl alcohol-based antiseptic solution produced by Bacardi Bottling Co. All bottles are sealed, original manufacturer packaging in uniform condition without shrink-wrapping. Pickup must occur between 8am-5pm with one day advance notice, requiring a truck with a liftgate and pallet jack since a conveniently located forklift is unavailable, though a loading dock exists on-site if necessary. The government will provide loading assistance and a pallet jack. Site access requires valid government ID with no wants or warrants. If the material cannot be recycled, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste through incineration rather than landfill. The contractor should treat this as standard alcohol-based sanitizer for quoting purposes and provide all services necessary for pickup, transport, recycling/disposal, and applicable regulatory documentation.
