Performance Work Statement Summary: Turkey Hazardous Waste Disposal Contract
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) governs a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for comprehensive hazardous material and hazardous waste (HM/HW) management services at U.S. military installations in the Republic of Turkey, primarily generated by the United States Air Force. The contract covers the full spectrum of activities from preparation, containerization, characterization, marking, and labeling through final disposal or recycling of hazardous substances in compliance with Turkish domestic laws, European Union standards, and the Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). The contractor must perform removal, transportation, and disposal within a standard timeframe of 20 business days for containerized and bulk waste removals, with expedited performance options available (5-business day and 10-business day CLINs). Services also include industrial cleaning, waste characterization and analysis, lab packing, overpacking/loose packing, equipment rental (roll-off boxes and containers), and supply provision. The contract minimum is USD $25,000.00, with a maximum of 150% of estimated contract value; there is no minimum for any option period. All disposal and recycling must utilize only facilities and transporters listed on the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Qualified Facilities List (QFL) and Qualified Transporters List (QTL). The contractor assumes full accountability upon receipt/removal of items and must indemnify the U.S. Government for all claims arising from negligent acts or environmental violations resulting from contractor performance.
The contract consists of one 30-month base period followed by one 30-month option period, with performance commencing on the contract award/effective date. Critical contractor requirements include obtaining Turkish operating permits and licenses; maintaining ADR-certified drivers; providing 24/7 emergency contact availability; complying with pre-removal notification procedures (20 business days advance notice standard, 10 business days for HM/HW removal efforts); submitting detailed waste manifests and shipping documentation; maintaining spill contingency plans; and providing monthly and annual waste reports in Microsoft Excel format. The contractor must segregate U.S. and non-U.S. waste, prohibit treatment of HM/HW on military installations (except gas extraction and container crushing), and ensure no comingling of waste prior to certified receipt at designated TSDFs. Documentation submission, acceptance, and payment occur through the Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) process upon authorization in the Hazardous Material Management System (HMMS); invoices must be submitted via email in Microsoft Excel format using specific naming conventions within 20 calendar days of the acceptable invoice package receipt. Acceptable Performance Levels (APLs) establish measurable standards for timely performance (no more than 3 occurrences of late delivery per 12-month period), compliant pre-removal documentation (no more than 5 submissions returned for missing/incorrect data), compliant removal (no more than 3 instances of non-compliance per 12 months), and compliant post-removal documentation (no more than 5 submissions returned for deficiencies).

See Attachment 3 for a list of Primary Pickup Locations.
1.1 PRE-REMOVAL
1.1.1 CLIN SELECTION CRITERIA
a. CLINs are assigned to waste streams by the Government and were adapted to allow HN regulations to be used in OCONUS locations. ADR regulations, including Proper Shipping Name (PSN) and Hazard Class are not a basis for CLIN selection. The waste description, generation process and physical state are the primary considerations for CLIN selection. CLIN selection begins with the identification of a Base CLIN category and sequence number. It is selected, if available, from the Price Schedule, and is completed with the assignment of a CLIN Suffix.
b. Base CLINs offered to Generators for use in the Price Schedule have a potential corresponding European Waste Catalog Code (EWC). Potential EWCs for the purpose of this contract do not imply that any or all those waste codes so listed will apply. This information is offered as additional reference information. Base CLIN categories and their descriptions used for waste disposal CLINs under this contract are as follows:
(1) Alcohols / Solvents (AS) – Used for all types of alcohols/solvents including a variety of liquids and sludges such as liquefied hydrocarbons, pure and denatured alcohols and thinners.
SP4500-26-D-XXXX Page 7 of 63
(2) Batteries (BA) – Used for all battery types, some, or all of which may be Universal Waste (UW) where no EWC’s are assigned, or as Hazardous Waste (HW), where applicable EWC’s are assigned.
(3) Corrosive Acids (CA) – Used for all corrosive acid wastes meeting the definition of corrosive unless it is a Lab Pack/Loose Pack.
(4) Corrosive Bases (CB) – Used for all corrosive base wastes meeting the definition of corrosive unless it is a Lab Pack/Loose Pack.
(5) Chlorine Containing Compounds (CL) – Used for all solid or liquid Chlorine Containing Compounds including but not limited to laundry bleach.
(6) Compressed Gas Cylinders/Cartridges/Vessels (CY) – Used for all types of compressed gas cylinders, vessels, canisters, and cartridges. Base CLINs are assigned based on the specific chemical name of the gas or gases comprising the contents of the cylinder, vessel, or canister. Cartridges are assigned Base CLINs based on whether the gas is flammable or inert.
(7) Flammable/Combustible/Ignitable (FL) – Used for all ignitable and other than reactive or corrosive oxidizers unless it is a Lab Pack or Loose Pack. FL CLINs may also be assigned to waste streams containing flammable/combustible/ignitable constituents such as organic solvents or chemicals.
(8) Heavy Metals (HM) – Used for all heavy metal contaminated solids and/or liquids
(9) Miscellaneous (MS) – Used for both hazardous and non-hazardous EWC wastes that are not necessarily associated with or identified by its physical or chemical characteristics.
(10) PCB-Related (PC) – Used for all wastes containing or contaminated by a source of PCBs that is equal to or greater than 50 parts per million (ppm). Some Generators of PCB-related wastes may choose to utilize “PC” Base CLINs, even when PCB concentrations fall below regulatory thresholds. Additionally, there may be some regulated PCB-related wastes to a concentration threshold that is lower than 50 ppm. The Contractor is required to comply with HN regulations, as applicable, in the management of such PCB-related wastes.
(11) Petroleum (PL) – Used for petroleum, oil, and lubricating wastes.
(12) Printing Products (PP) – Used for printing and photographic products.
Includes halogenated and non-halogenated toners, inks, fixers, bleaches, and developers.
(13) Pesticides (PS) – Used for pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides
SP4500-26-D-XXXX Page 8 of 63
(14) Paint Related (PT) – Used for halogenated and non-halogenated paints, glues, adhesives, and resins.
(15) Lab Packs/Loose Packs (LP) – Used for most overpacked small containers of chemicals and consumer commodity-type products. “Lab Pack” refers predominantly to the overpacking of multiple containers of like laboratory chemicals into a single outer container. The chemicals must be of the same hazard class, and a detailed inventory must be affixed to the outer container. Lab packing is a packaging method performed by the Contractor (or subcontractor) under a separate service CLIN. “Loose Pack” refers predominantly to the overpacking of multiple containers of like consumer commodity products (e.g., paints, lubricants, expired products, etc.) into a single outer container and does not require the preparation of a detailed inventory. Generators of this waste may be authorized to loose-pack containers for turn-in. Lab-packed and loose-packed drums and boxes containing smaller containers of same type of wastes provide the best alternative when consolidation is impractical. For purposes of disposal, Lab Packs and Loose Packs share the same Base CLIN depending upon the contents of the inner containers and their assigned Waste Code(s) when applicable.
(16) Non-Regulated (NR) – Used for wastes that are not deemed hazardous under HN regulations and carry no EWC’s. The Contractor is required to comply with HN regulations as applicable, in the management of such NR hazardous wastes.
(17) PFAS-Related (PF) – Used for various wastes containing or contaminated by a source of PFAS including some AFFF wastes that may or may not be regulated under HN rules. Some Generators of PFAS-related wastes may choose to utilize “PF” Base CLINs, even when PFAS concentrations fall below regulatory thresholds. The Contractor is required to comply with HN regulations, as applicable, in the management of such PFAS-related wastes.
(18) Recycle/Recovery (RE) – Used for various wastes that require by contract and/or regulation the recycling/recovery of constituents and/or components contained in the waste stream, including some universal wastes, lamps, high mercury devices and residues, antifreeze, used oil, oil filters, and fully drained fuel filters. When “RE” CLINs are ordered, the Contractor is required to recycle/recover the waste under which the CLIN was ordered.
(19) Reactive (RX) – Used for various reactive wastes potentially bearing reactive characteristics. All reactive wastes will be disposed of using an “RX” or appropriate “LP” Base CLIN, except for waste also contaminated by a source of PCBs that is equal to or greater than 50 ppm.
(20) Toxic (TX) – Used for various toxic wastes that are not ignitable, corrosive, or reactive respectively; apart from hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) related waste due to the oxidizing properties of Cr+6.
SP4500-26-D-XXXX Page 9 of 63
b. Base CLIN selection criteria is further based upon information found in the waste profile sheet to include the waste description, physical state of the waste, and the presence of any Waste Code(s) assigned (only to regulated HW). The Government is responsible for assigning proper profile-based CLINs to every waste stream being removed. See Master Base CLIN Catalog at the below link.
http://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Offers/Disposal/HazardousWaste/HazWasteDisposal.as px

1.1.4 CLIN DISPUTES
a. CLIN discrepancies noted on a TO by the Contractor during a pre-removal inspection and/or during HM/HW removal will be addressed immediately via the COR and Generator. If the COR, Generator, and KO concur with the CLIN change request a TO Modification will be issued.
b. The USG may unilaterally issue TO modifications for such reasons as quantity changes, noun description changes, CLIN changes, adding/deleting TO lines, extending TO end dates, etc. The Contractor will be paid for the actual items and quantities removed per the awarded contract price schedule. If upon receipt of a unilateral TO modification, the Contractor does not agree with the change(s), the Contractor reserves the right to seek resolution with the KO. These modifications are only against TOs. No changes are made to the terms and conditions of the contract.
c. If the Contractor asserts after removal that an inappropriate CLIN has been assigned, the burden of proof lies with the Contractor. The Contractor must provide documentation electronically to the KO and COR within 10 business days following the TSDF receipt date supporting the assertion through photographs, independently acquired laboratory analysis at the Contractor’s expense, TSDF fingerprinting results, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and/or other written supporting documentation such as a TSDF “off-spec” or “rejected” notification with explanation by the TSDF for the off-spec or rejected determination. Requests for a CLIN change without supporting documents will not be accepted. After review of the documentation, the Contractor will be notified by the KO of the USG’s final determination.
d. The Contractor must ensure that the waste in question is not treated or disposed of until the Government has made a final CLIN determination. If the subject waste has been treated and/or disposed of prior to the Government’s final determination, the Contractor will be deemed to have waived its objection to the Government’s CLIN assignment, and the disposal or service must be invoiced based on the CLIN designation on the TO. Failure to timely dispute a CLIN designation on the TO IAWthis provision, when the basis of the dispute was or should have been known to the Contractor, is itself a breach of the contract’s terms and cannot form the basis for a later claim under the Disputes clause of the contract.
e. If the CLIN dispute cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, the Contracting Officer will treat the dispute as a Contractor claim involving the interpretation of contract provisions applicable to the assignment of CLINs. The Contractor shall be provided the opportunity to provide additional information or evidence, and the Contracting Officer shall issue a final decision within 60 days, or such other reasonable time as may be appropriate under the Contract Disputes Act.
1.1.5 NOTIFICATIONS
SP4500-26-D-XXXX Page 14 of 63
a. Unless otherwise specified in this contract, the Contractor shall notify the COR and IEO representative at least 20 business days BEFORE attempting installation access to conduct business related performance under this contract.

(a) Transporter company name,
(b) Driver’s name,
(c) Commercial Driver’s ADR Certification number and expiration date,

(3) The Contractor may proactively provide the COR and IEO with a list of qualified drivers designated to perform removals under this contract, along with the above information. However, for proper Security notification, the Contractor must notify the COR of the specific driver scheduled to arrive for each removal effort.
(4) If a driver other than the one scheduled arrives to perform a removal, the COR and/or other designated USG representative will verify the personnel change with the Contractor before the removal commences. This will require written notice from the Contractor and may result in the driver’s late arrival to the pickup location.
b. For TOs containing expedited performance CLINs, the Contractor shall notify the COR and/or IEO representative for each location in the following timeframes BEFORE attempting installation access for any reason:
CLINs DESCRIPTION REQUIRED NOTIFICATION TIMES, AT

1098SV 10-Business Day Expedited Performance
Ten (10) Business Days Prior to Removal/Performance
See 1.2.11 for specific requirements pertaining to performance under expedited service CLINs.
c. Notification requirements for an excusable delay request. If at any time following the issuance of a written TO the Contractor determines standard removal times for any HM/HW item(s) cannot be met due to unforeseen circumstances at the TSDF(s) beyond the Contractor’s control, the Contractor shall notify the KO and COR accordingly, in writing via email by close of business the following business day. Written notifications shall include the subject TO number and line item(s), reason(s) for the delay, provision of verifiable documentation from the TSDF(s), and the estimated date and time of performance completion. Verifiable documentation shall include written evidence showing earnest attempts were or are being made by the Contractor to utilize at least one alternative qualified TSDF needed to meet the performance requirements in the contract. The KO requires proper notification to make an informed decision regarding the Contractor’s asserted inability to perform timely due to factors beyond their control. Failure by the Contractor to provide proper notification to the KO shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor to exercise an excusable delay request.
(1) Following proper notification, if the KO determines the Contractor has met the burden of proof to demonstrate the delay is beyond the Contractor’s control, the following conditions apply:
(a) The USG reserves the right to issue a new (standalone) TO for impacted TO line(s) or modify and re-issue a previously issued TO. Minimum TO charges will not apply to these TOs.
(b) The Contractor shall provide biweekly TO updates to the KO and COR beginning 14 calendar days after the new or modified TO is issued. Updates shall include the status of the TO, the estimated time/date for removal, and further verifiable documentation from the TSDF(s) for the KO to make an informed decision whether the delay remains beyond the control of the Contractor. The requirement for TO updates will terminate when the Contractor’s requirements under the TO have been met.
(c) The Contractor will notify the KO and COR immediately upon determining that meeting standard removal times will resume.
(d) If a delay situation arises after issuance of a TO having a combination of impacted and non-impacted waste, the CO, COR, and Contractor will mutually agree upon how best to address the situation with subsequent TO issuances and execute a contract modification memorializing said agreement.
