1.1 BACKGROUND

The Philadelphia Naval Foundry currently produces Non Ferrous metal chips as a byproduct of their milling process during manufacturing. In an effort to conserve resources, the byproduct chips can be recycled and combined with raw materials to produce ingots which can be re-melted at NFPC to manufacture new items for upcoming projects.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor is responsible for picking up the byproduct chips from NFPC, weighing it at a nearby weigh station, delivering it to their facility, analyzing the chips, re-processing the chips to a usable ingot, and returning the ingot to NFPC.

This requirement shall be awarded as a 5-year Fixed-Price (FP) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-

Quantity (IDIQ) contract utilizing Task Orders (TOs) pursuant to FAR 16.5. Exact quantities and delivery schedules shall be established at the TO level. The ordering period for this contract is sixty

(60) months, with a period-of-performance not to exceed seventy-two (72) months. Please note the quantities below are the maximum quantities per year during the sixty (60) month ordering period.
