This is an Amendment to a Previous Combined Solicitation that cancels and reissues RFQ 36C26225Q1322. The solicitation concerns the collection, transport, and disposition of scrap and miscellaneous metal (Product Service Code S222, NAICS Code 562111) for the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA NCO 22) in Tucson, Arizona.
