Question or Comment Number Question/Comment USCG Response

How should the pricing be provided to USCG? There will be Labor, Transportation, and Disposal. Are we required to separate these or provide a wrapped rate?

Offerors should provide a single, firm-fixed price for the entirety of the effort. Quote does not need to be broken out by work element.

Should pricing assume the listed weights are final, or should contractors anticipate quantity growth?

There is the possibility of quantity growth on Universal Waste such as batteries. Other containers would be exact

Will SDSs and analytical data be provided prior to proposal submission or only after award? SDS and analytical data will be provided to the successful vendor post-award.

Can the Government confirm whether all listed waste containers are transportation-ready (i.e., structurally sound, properly characterized, and DOT-compliant), or should the contractor include costs for overpacking, additional characterization, and repackaging of deteriorated containers? All containers are structurally sound and transportation-ready

Could you provide any historical pricing information or details on previous awardees? This is a new requirement. No historical pricing will be provided.

6 Who is the current vendor/incumbent? This is a new requirement.

7 Can a copy of the current contract be provided? This is a new requirement. No historical contract will be provided

What is the budgetary estimate for waste removal and disposal services for 2026? This information is source selection sensitive and will not be released.

Are liquidated damages applicable to this bid? If yes, please provide the details. Liquidated damages are not applicable to this requirement.

10 Is this intended to be a single-vendor contract?

Yes. A single purchase order will be issued to the successful offeror based upon the evaluation criteria listed in the solicitation.

Section 11.2, Cont.ID 24625: Are the cylinders in shippable condition?

(i.e. are valves intact and are there any valve covers present?) Can USCG please provide photos of each cylinder showing any DOT markings and numbers present on the cylinders and valves? What was the generating process for the refrigerant cylinders?

Pictures provided show multiple images on the various cylinders. The generating process for the refrigerant is removal from appliances.

Section 11.2, Cont.ID 25645: Can USCG please provide the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Cont.ID 25645, listed in Section 11.2 Provided.
