Questions & Answers

1. Q: Is this a new requirement?

A: This solicitation is for a new contract

1. Q: Is there a previous contract record for publication you can share with us for reference?

A: N/A – the VA facilities in VISN 19 all have destruction contracts, but our VISN program has never had one previously.

1. Q: The way the contract reads, you are seeking both a reverse distributor and a hazardous waste vendor combined for medication to be sent back, but the quantities are 3 and 2 visits per year- Could you clarify if this is true- you are seeking biannual for all options years but 3 pickups this year?

A: This solicitation/requirement is only for destruction of hazardous and non-hazardous comingled pharmaceutical waste. We anticipate needing 3 pickups in the 1st year and every 6 months for the option years.

1. Q: Could you clarify the estimated return volume on pharmaceuticals (are these palletized medications?) Could you share the historical value of the previous years RD A: The solicitation is not for reverse distribution; it’s for destruction only. No value will be assigned.

1. Q: Could you please provide the size of container you currently utilize for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals? (Cowboy box, 5-gallon bucket?) What would be the estimated quantity needed for each pickup?

A: The estimated amount for destruction would be 5-gallon buckets, between 1 and 5 per 6 months.

1. Q: Please advise if there are any requirements that are barred on pricing for line items?

A: None

1. Q: Would the facility be willing to utilize mailing the hazardous waste vs onsite pickup?

A: Only if allowed by EPA (may not be possible due to record-keeping, DOT and chain-of-custody requirements).
