RESPONSE: See ARTICLE L.4 TECHNCAL AND BUSINESS

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS, item 2) b) MPW Services bullet # 9 two primary medical pathological waste off-site incineration facilities proposed to receive and dispose of the MPW described herein and the methods of conveyance proposed. In addition, at least one other facility shall be identified that uses a treatment method other than conventional medical waste incineration¿

NIH requires incineration and a backup incineration facility as the primary means of destruction. Off-site autoclaving followed by incineration would be ok but is considered redundant since, when required, MPW is autoclaved within the facilities prior to packaging and shipping. NIH is seeking total destruction.

Autoclaving would not replace incineration, however, would qualify as a treatment method other than conventional medical waste incineration¿ as stated in the referenced ARTICLE
