A INTRODUCTION

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services is offering a three (3) year term Public Sales contract for the sale of used oil at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Fort Wainwright/Eielson, Greely AFB in Fairbanks, and Clear Space Force Station, AK through this Invitation for Bid (IFB). The Government intends to tender used oils that are not considered solid waste per 40 CFR 279, Standards for the Management of Used Oil.

This IFB is for a firm fixed price Public Sales contract where the bid price is expressed in U.S. dollars/cents per advertised unit of issue. DLA Disposition Services (hereinafter “Agency” or “Government”) expects the Purchaser to perform all requirements under this contract at the bid price provided by the Purchaser.

A.1 Base Access Requirements:

All locations where property is located may have strict rules that may prohibit access to some individuals. To access our facilities, an Apparent High Bidder (AHB) or their agent shall be required to obtain base access through the host installation. The local location will be able to provide information on how to obtain base access. Purchaser is solely responsible for determining installation access requirements and complying accordingly. If necessary, the SCO can confirm that Purchaser is performing requirements under this IFB and the resulting contract.

Applicant must show vehicle registration, proof of current vehicle insurance and identification that meets the requirements of the REAL ID ACT of 2005 in order to register for enrollment in the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS).

with all local, state, and federal laws governing the use and management of used oil.

The used oil being advertised for sale in this IFB may/will have contamination that may include water, dirt, metal shavings and/or other contamination from vehicle maintenance. Upon request from the Purchaser, the Generator will provide a profile for each tank prior to the tank contents being removed to ensure the used oil can be sold. The tank profile may reference generator knowledge or analysis. The Purchaser may, at their own expense, obtain a small sample for lab analysis/test. All potential Bidders are advised to read all terms and conditions of this IFB prior to submitting their bids to ensure they have a complete and full understanding of all requirements under this contract for sale. The Purchaser is cautioned that some requirements for information are required before the start of work on this contract. The Purchaser agrees to provide all services necessary for contract performance in accordance with all federal, state, local laws, and regulations and in accordance with the terms of this contract. This also applies to subcontractor(s).

40 U.S.C. Chapter 5 relates to Public Sale of U.S. Government Personal Property and falls under the purview of General Services Administration (GSA) authority under 41 CFR 102-38 and covers U.S. Government personal property located in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau. This IFB is not governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Intent to export this used oil outside of the U.S. for reclamation is not authorized under this sale. Potential high bidders listing destinations in their Statement of Intent (SOI) that are outside of the U.S. will not be considered responsive bidders and their bids will be rejected.

A.5 Packing:

Majority of sites consist of drums and/or totes. There are two above ground tanks at JBER, one 1,000 GL and one 2,500

GL.

A.6 Removal:

Monday-Friday 8:30AM – 1:00PM Local Time Anchorage/Fairbanks, excluding federally recognized holidays.

The contract resulting from the IFB may/will involve removals from multiple locations across a wide area. Prior coordination with SPOC is essential to successfully perform the requirements of the contract.

The SPOC will notify the Purchaser of required removal by email which will include estimated quantity to be removed, number of locations, and requested date of removal.

The Purchaser must respond and provide a scheduled removal date within five (5) business days of the email notification from the DLA Disposition Services SPOC. Purchaser must act in good faith to have requested property removed within scheduled removal date agreed upon in initial email from DLA Disposition Services SPOC. If agreed upon dates must change, prior approval must be granted by SCO prior to rescheduling. Agreed upon removal times will not exceed 14 business days.

The date and time stamp in the Government’s email to the Purchaser for notifying the Purchaser of the removal or the Government’s date and time stamp of an email received from the Purchaser objecting to a removal will be the sole documentation utilized to determine adherence with notification requirements within this contract.

Note: The purchaser will ensure the SPOC receives a copy of the shipping paperwork at time of removal to validate the shipping destination is the authorized destination listed in the purchaser’s SOI.

A.7 Inspection:

Monday-Friday 8:00AM – 2:30 PM Local Time Anchorage/Fairbanks, excluding federally recognized holidays. Inspection is by appointment only, 48 hr. notice required.

Inspection is highly recommended to gain a clear understating of full scope of the requirements to operate this contract prior to bidding.

Inspection POC Fairbanks: Enzo Fochesatto, enzo.fochesatto@dla.mil Inspection POC Anchorage: Cameron Bleth; cameron.bleth@dla.mil

A.8 Loading:

Fuel can be measured to determine the amount being received using the stick method or via scale to determine weight.

The procedures for determining stick measurement are as follows:

Upon arrival, the Purchaser’s conveyance is verified empty, and the material is loaded onto the conveyance IAW the terms and conditions of the IFB. If the conveyance has any material already loaded upon arrival, the DLA and Purchaser representatives will measure the amount of material present using the stick measurement prior to loading any material.

Upon completion of loading, the stick measurement is used to determine the amount of gallons loaded. The appropriate table is utilized based on the size of the conveyance to determine the gallons based on the “wet” line of the measuring stick. The amount is then recorded on the DLA Form 1367 and signed by the DLA and Purchaser’s representative. If the conveyance had any material prior to loading DLA material, the initial amount will be subtracted from the final amount to determine the quantity issued. If loading/removals are conducted at multiple locations on the same day, only arrival measurement and measure after final removal will be required.

The procedures for weighing are as follows:

Weighing will be completed and documented on DLA Form 1367 under the direction and supervision of the United States Government (USG) using one of the following methods to provide weight tickets:

USG owned certified scales located on USG installation. Purchaser’s conveyance will be weighed empty upon entrance of the military installation and weighed with a full load upon exiting the military installation.

Purchaser will use the on-site Certified Government Scale(s). In the event a Certified Government Scale is unserviceable, the nearest Certified Scale shall be used at Purchaser’s expense. Purchaser will not be reimbursed for transportation costs associated with the weighing process, including the cost of transportation to and from the scale.

The Purchaser is solely responsible for costs associated with the use of a public certified scale. All weighing will be observed by both parties, recorded on a DLA Form 1367 (filled out by USG personnel) and signed by both parties prior to release.

Weight tickets will accompany the DLA Form 1367. The weights obtained and annotated will be used in the billing process.

Weight conversion is used to determine gallons at a rate of 7.5 pounds per gallon. To determine this amount: Weigh truck empty, load truck, weigh truck full, subtract empty weight from full weight, divide the result by 7.5 which equals gallons issued. For illustrative purposes, upon arrival, the purchaser’s removal vehicle initial weight is 6,000 pounds. The product purchased under this IFB is removed from the government conveyance to the Purchaser’s vehicle. The Purchaser’s vehicle is then weighed again, and its weight is now 6,500 pounds. 6,500 pounds (weight after product delivered to Purchaser’s vehicle) minus 6,000 pounds (initial weight of Purchaser’s vehicle), then the Purchaser received 500 pounds of product under this IFB. 500 pounds divided by 7.5 pounds equals 66.66 gallons the Purchaser received. The billing section of this IFB determines how the monthly bill is calculated.

Purchaser must provide all equipment needed to evacuate the used oil from the tank. This includes stinging equipment to remove from drums and totes. Drums/totes and tanks must be considered/confirmed RCRA empty after pumping.

The Purchaser is responsible to bring materials to safely pump product from tanks to tanker trucks.

Bulk liquid removals will be allowed only if the Purchaser has a spill contingency plan and performs operations in a safe manner (e.g., grounding). The Government reserves the right to stop operations if environmental or safety concerns arise.

Pickup locations are dispersed throughout Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, Eielson AFB, and Clear Space Force Station (SFS) at multiple sites within a 10-mile radius of each installation. Quantities vary by site.

Sites may be subject to change, and not all are guaranteed throughout the life of the contract. Purchaser will be provided a list of locations upon contract award.

The below are estimated annual amounts known at the time this IFB was published and are for bidding purposes only.

JBER - 35,000 GL

Fort Wainwright - 10,500 GL Fort Greely - 3,000 GL Eielson AFB - 8,500 GL Clear SFS - 1,750

D BID EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

D.1 Bidding Process:

The Purchaser’s bid shall consist of an amount per unit of issue specified in U.S. currency. Prospective bidders should be aware of certain risk factors that could affect a bidder’s assessment of this contract and the calculations supporting the resulting bid. Under no circumstances is the Agency or the Government responsible for any assumptions, planning factors, or decisions the Purchaser made related to determining their high bid. This is a firm fixed price contract where the bid price is expressed in U.S. currency specified by the bidder, per unit of issue.

The Government expects the Purchaser to perform all the requirements under this contract at the bid price submitted by the Purchaser. At no time shall the Government pay the Purchaser to take material offered. There shall be no reimbursement to the Purchaser under this contract except for the limited circumstances related to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for return of property directed by the Government. The Government is not responsible for any indirect, inconsequential, or completeness (through assumption of sales value, act, or omission of factors) expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received.

D.2 Identification of Sales Purchaser:

Bidders should take care to ensure that their bid submission indicates whether they are submitting the bid as an authorized representative of a legal entity such as a corporation or limited liability company, or in their individual capacity or as owner of a sole proprietorship. The legal entity designated as the bidder on the SF 114 is the entity to whom the contract will be awarded upon receiving an affirmative responsibility assessment. Individuals or companies may use subsidiaries, affiliates or partners in a joint venture as subcontractors with SCO approval as per the contract terms (however such entities may also require an ERD) but may not substitute such entities as a party to the DLA sales contract. AHBs should ensure the SOI and other pre-award documentation identify any subcontractors that will be performing removals or processing materials on their behalf so that the appropriate reviews may be conducted.

D.3 How to Bid:

Bidders shall use the following documents provided with this IFB to submit a bid: the SF114 and SF114A. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per unit of issue not to exceed three (3) decimal places (example 0.010). Minimum bid is 0.010 per unit of issue. Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in the “Total QTY” column being advertised to calculate your extended bid amount.

The highest priced bid will be determined by each bidder’s total contract price identified in the “total amount” on the SF114. “Total Amount” block on the SF 114 will be equal to the total from all CLINs from column “Total Price Bid” on the SF 114A.

The bidder with the highest “TOTAL AMOUNT” bid will be considered the AHB and will be vetted prior to award in accordance with provisions in Section D below. The awarded company must possess all appropriate licenses for all items or have subcontractors with appropriate licenses to remove all Items. Award will not be made to a bidder who fails to demonstrate the ability to remove all of the items listed in the IFB.

For illustrative purposes, if one (1) item was advertised for sale in the IFB in pounds, CLIN 1- 500,000 GL. Bidder A bids on CLIN 1 for $0.010 per GL. “Total Priced Bid” on Example 1 shows Bidder A’s total bid price per CLIN. Example 2 shows Bidder A’s “Total Amount” equals $5,000 for all CLINs awarded.

Do not email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO. Email bid to: dla.sales@dla.mil

EXAMPLE 1: SF 114A

EXAMPLE 2: SF 114

D.4 Pre-Payment Deposit A pre-payment of 20% of the total price bid for a one (1) year’s annual generation of property will be required. The pre-payment will be calculated as follows: Total Price Bid x 20% divided by three (3).

For illustration purposes, from the example in section D.3, if Bidder A was found to be the AHB, then the pre-payment required would be $5000. This amount was calculated by taking the “Total Price Bid” amount of $75,000 and multiplying it by 20%, which equals $15,000. The $15,000 is then divided by 3 (performance base period of three (3) years), which equals a pre-payment deposit required from the AHB of $5,000.

D.5 Where to Submit Bid:

DO NOT email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO.

Bids shall be submitted via email only to: dla.sales@dla.mil (include IFB Number).

Maximum size of each e-mail message shall be three and one-half (3.5) megabytes. You may use multiple e-mail messages for each submission; however, you must annotate the subject lines as described above for each message, and number them in this manner: “Message 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.” Offers/quotes submitted by E- mail are submitted at the bidder's risk. DLA DISPOSITION SERVICES cannot guarantee the security of the offer/quote if it is submitted via E-mail.

D.6 A Responsive Bid:

Complies with the terms and conditions of the sales offering and satisfies the requirements as to the method and timeliness of the submission. Only responsive bids will be considered for award. A responsive bid submission shall contain at a minimum:

• SF114 completed and signed.

• SF114A.

• Bid Percentage

D.7 When to Send Bid:

Bids must be in the possession of the Agency’s Public Sales Contracting Division by the offer closing date and time specified in this IFB. If the bid is not submitted on time, it shall be considered non-responsive. Late rules are outlined in FAR 52.212-1(f). Pay particular attention to the provisions that relate to the timing of e-mail submissions.

D.8 How to Modify/Cancel Bid:

Submit a new bid in the same manner as the previous bid. Separately, without disclosing bid amounts, notify the SCO of the modification. To cancel a bid, submit a zero (0) bid in the same manner as the original bid. Notify the SCO of the bid cancellation (specify date, time, and method of bid submission). Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. Modification, revision, or withdrawal of the bid received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of the IFB is “late” and will not be considered.

D.9 Bid Acceptance Period:

The bid must remain valid 90 calendar days from the bid opening unless otherwise modified or cancelled.

D.10 Bid Evaluation:

A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, and has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee). A responsive bidder is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. A responsible bidder is one that can pass the vetting process and is determined through the screening process to be an eligible transferee.

Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government. The general standards in FAR Part 9 on purchaser responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the SCO in evaluating bidder responsibility.

The Government intends to make a single award to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid, unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.205.

For illustrative purposes, Bidder A submits a bid for 50% of the $2.02/gallon OPIS Group 3 Jet Fuel Prompt Average USD ₵/gal (Product Code O100JX7) market value on Dec 1, 2025. Bidder B submits a bid for 48% of the $2.02/gallon market value on Dec 1, 2025. The AHB will be Bidder A.

D.11 Ineligible Bidder:

Bidder will not be eligible for award if they are:

Excluded from federal programs by the General Services Administration as identified in the System for Award

Management at https://sam.gov/.

Subject to denial, suspension, debarment, or other sanctions pursuant to export control and related laws, regulations, or orders administered by the DOS, DOC, DHS, or USTD. The DOS, DOC, DHS, and USTD name these entities, individuals, and countries in the federal Register and at the following website: Consolidated Screening List Search Engine (https://legacy.export.gov/csl-search).

D.12 Pre-Award Survey:

The Agency will conduct a Pre-Award survey of only the AHB. The SCO will provide notification that you are the AHB, and SOI DLA Form 2536 will be included in the notification. The SOI must have parts 1-6 completed and signed. The Pre-Award survey may be conducted at the AHB’s facility. The Pre-Award survey may include but is not limited to a review of facilities, equipment, financial capability, quality assurance, safety, environmental responsibility, and transportation capabilities.

The AHB shall cooperate in the Pre-Award process by assisting in arrangements and/or by providing requested information in a timely manner. Be advised that the Pre-Award survey and providing documents to the Government is part of the evaluation to determine responsibility and is not a guarantee of contract award.

To facilitate the Pre-Award Survey, you have 10 business days to:

• Complete and return SOI to the SCO

• Complete and return FAR Provision 52.204-24

D.12.1 Pre-Award Survey May Include but Is Not Limited to The Following:

The Purchaser’s facility shall pass an inspection if the Agency requests an inspection prior to contract award.

D.12.2 Environmental Responsibility Determination (ERD):

The Environmental Support Branch of the Agency conducts an ERD on sale destinations to verify if the DoD purchased property will be managed in accordance with the Invitation for Bid, Statement of Intent, Federal, State, and local regulations. List all downstream facilities receiving Government property to be processed in the Statement of Intent. Do not list downstream recipients of processed property.

The Purchaser is responsible for providing copies of requisite permits/registrations for downstream processors for the ERD. Environmental permits/registrations required for this IFB include but are not limited to:

- Used oil transfer facilities, collectors, processors, refiners, burners, and marketers must hold an active EPA Identification Number as required by the State of Alaska.

Alaska state regulations require that used oil transfer facilities, collectors, processors, refiners, burners, and marketers are registered with the EPA prior to operating within the state. Requirements vary based on processes and can be found in the Alaska Administrative Code (18 AAC 62), which adopts federal standards by reference.

The active EPA ID registration numbers and/or applicable permits must be submitted with the ERD.

If transporting used oil out-of-state, the Purchaser is responsible for meeting all applicable requirements for transporting and processing in the other applicable states.

State of Alaska https://dec.alaska.gov/eh/solid-waste/hazardous-waste/

- Industrial Stormwater Permit for recyclers of used oil.

The State of Alaska requires used oil recycling facilities to obtain coverage under the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) Multi-Sector General Permit AKR060000 for Discharges of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity.

https://dec.alaska.gov/water/wastewater/stormwater/permits-approvals/multisector/

If the initial and/or downstream processing of property will occur outside of the State of Alaska, the Purchaser is responsible for understanding and ensuring compliance with the regulatory requirements of that State.
