About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document for FBI Solicitation 15F06726Q0000094 regarding hand sanitizer recycling and disposal services. The document addresses 33 industry questions submitted in response to the solicitation and provides clarifications on material specifications, quantities, site logistics, and disposal requirements.
The government is seeking contractor services to pick up, transport, recycle, and dispose of surplus hand sanitizer inventory consisting of 3 pallets containing 168 boxes with a total of 2,016 sealed 750ml bottles (updated quantity as of 4/3/2026). The product is Alcohol Antiseptic 80% Topical Solution manufactured by Bacardi Bottling Co., in liquid form with ethyl alcohol as the primary ingredient. Key logistics clarifications include: pickup must occur between 8am-5pm with one day advance notice; the pallets are not shrink-wrapped but original packaging is intact; no forklift is available on-site, though a pallet jack and loading dock exist (the dock is not conveniently located near pallets, making a truck with liftgate preferable); and site access requires valid ID with no wants or warrants. Regarding disposal, the government specifies that if recycling vendors reject the material, it must be incinerated as hazardous waste rather than sent to landfill. The material should be treated as uniform for pricing purposes, and all work must comply with EPA and DOT regulations. The document confirms that proposals should be submitted electronically via email, though specific deadline information is not included in this Q&A document.
