Sole Source Hazwaste_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document for a procurement valued between $10K-$250K, submitted by NUWC Keyport Division for PR number 1301197789. The requirement is for removal and disposal of 54 drums containing hazardous waste from an installation restoration group, to be completed by Clean Harbors Environmental Services Inc. located in Kent, WA.

The sole source justification is based on Clean Harbors' current contract with the Government via a regional DLA contract for hazardous waste removal, and their unique ability to process this specific waste type at their Aragonite Incineration Facility in Utah - the only facility validated to meet the required waste incineration requirements. The document cites urgency due to a required removal date of 09/15/2024 and notes that delays could result in fines of an unspecified amount per day. The justification emphasizes that using Clean Harbors will expedite the process since they already have established base access, waste profiles, and procedures approved by the Government, whereas alternative providers would require 10-15 additional days for testing and profile determination. The document was signed on November 4, 2024 by the Environmental Compliance Branch Head and approved by the Contracting Officer.
