About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document (rev 1.1, dated February 5, 2025) for solicitation 70B03C25Q00000106 regarding narcotics destruction services for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Los Angeles Field Office.
The Q&A reveals key operational details: the destruction site has approximately 2,300 sq ft of space allocated; the total volume of 15,000 lbs of illicit drugs to be destroyed varies by drug type and packaging; fentanyl is included among the narcotics and requires hazmat gear for handling; remnants must be disposed of offsite in accordance with regulations; 24/7 operation is not required; no security clearances are needed but workers must pass NCIC and E-verify screening. There is no incumbent contractor, as CBP previously used California incinerators which were taken offline in December 2024. This contract is a temporary solution to address a backlog of narcotics until a permanent destruction method can be established.
