About this file
This is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation for scrap metal recycling services. The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office (NCO 22) in Tucson, Arizona, is soliciting a contractor to provide collection, transport, and disposition of scrap and miscellaneous metal at the Long Beach VA Healthcare System. The contract period of performance spans 2026-2031, with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. The product service code is S222 (Metal Recycling) and the NAICS code is 562111. This is not a new contract; the incumbent contractor is SA Recycling Inc.
The solicitation requires two 40-cubic-yard roll-off bins to be maintained on-site permanently—one at the east side of Building 149 and one at the south side of Building 7—with an estimated average combined pickup weight of 9,000 pounds per collection cycle. Pricing must be submitted with separate documentation clearly itemizing the service cost to be invoiced by the VA to the contractor and the recycling value to be paid by the contractor to the VA, organized by bin with weight collected and value per weight. Contractors must submit ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications with their bid; ISO 27001 certification was clarified as not required. The contracting office point of contact is Contract Specialist Naomi Meza at naomi.meza@va.gov or (520) 792-1450 x 13785. Vendor questions and answers addressing pricing structure, certification requirements, contract history, bin specifications, and pickup tonnage estimates are included.

Vendor Questions for Clarification RFQ 36C26226Q0908 – Scrap Metal Recycling
Question 1: Pricing Structure (Section B.2 / SOW Section 8(4)): Section B.2 requests a unit price for "Collection, transport and disposition of scrap and miscellaneous metal," suggesting a service fee to be paid by the VA. However, SOW Section 8(4) states that "payments for recycled scrap metal shall be submitted along with weight tickets and disposal receipts to the POC within three days of pick-up," with checks payable to the VA. Please clarify:
Question 1.a.: Is the unit price requested in Section B.2 intended to represent a service fee paid by the VA to the Contractor, a value paid by the Contractor to the VA for the recycled material, or a net figure combining both?
Answer: The receipt is to identify the weight of scrap metal being picked up by the vendor and the amount paid by the vendor to the VA.
Question 1.b.: How should offerors structure their pricing in Section B.2 to properly reflect both the service cost and the recycling value of the scrap metal?
Answer: Separate documents will be needed to indicate itemized service cost to be invoiced and recycling value to be paid to the VA. Receipt of recycling value will be separated per bin, list weight collected, and value per weight.
Question 2: ISO Certification Requirement: Section E.1 (Special Certification) and Section E.3 (Evaluation) both require offerors to submit documentation for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001 certifications with their bid submittal. Given that ISO 27001 (Information Security Management) does not appear directly relevant to scrap metal collection and disposal services, could you please confirm whether all four certifications are required as written, or whether this list was carried over from a different solicitation in error?
Answer: Yes, ISO 27001 was inserted in error. This requirement is not required for the requirement.
Question 3: Is this a brand-new contract, if not brand new, please provide the current / previous contract number and what the total contract value was?
Answer: Incumbent is SA Recycling Inc.; please visit SAM.gov for details.
Question 4: The SOW does not state a bin quantity. Please confirm two (2) bins are required; one at east side of Bldg. 149 and one at south side of Bldg. 7. Are both bins always kept on-site?
Answer: Two bins are required for this request. One at east side of Bldg. 149 and one at south side of Bldg. 7, both always kept on-site.
Question 5: The SOW lists bin size as 40'. Please confirm the container type and capacity (40-cubic-yard roll-off vs. 40-foot trailer or other).
Answer: 40-cubic-yard roll-off
Question 6: What's the estimated tonnage or weight per pickup for each bin?
Answer: Estimated average 9,000 lbs. per pickup for both bins combined.
Due Date for Responses: August 14, 2026, by Noon PST.
