The United States Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Installation & Technology Division, Facilities Branch, is issuing this Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research and identify qualified Small Business concerns capable of supporting hazardous waste (HW) operations at U.S.

Army Garrison Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. These services directly support the Directorate of Public Works (DPW).

The Government anticipates awarding a five-year Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with an additional six-month option period.

The applicable NAICS code is 562112 – Hazardous Waste Collection, and the Product Service Code (PSC) is F107 – Environmental Systems Protection: Toxic and Hazardous Substance Analysis.

The Government seeks to identify small businesses with the capability, experience, and resources necessary to perform hazardous waste operations at APG. The APG HW Program is responsible for tracking, collecting, storing, and disposing of installation-generated hazardous waste. To support this mission, DPW-Environmental Division (DPW-ED) manages two hazardous waste receiving and storage facilities where waste is accepted, consolidated, and stored prior to off-site shipment and disposal.

Services will be required at the following locations:

• APG North

• Edgewood Area

This notice is issued solely for informational and planning purposes. The Government’s objective is to identify qualified vendors capable of providing all labor, tools, materials, transportation, technical expertise, and incidental services necessary to support the APG HW Program. This includes oversight of hazardous waste tracking, collection, storage, and disposal operations, as well as support to the two DPW-ED hazardous waste receiving and storage facilities, in accordance with the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).

SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide comprehensive support to the U.S. Army Garrison Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Hazardous Waste (HW) Program. Required services include:

• Operation of APG’s hazardous waste storage facilities located in the E5800 block of the Edgewood Area and Building 5110 in the Aberdeen Area

• Hazardous waste data entry, tracking, reporting, and cost-accounting support

• Waste sampling and analysis services

Operation of APG Hazardous Waste Storage Facilities

The Contractor shall operate APG’s less-than-90-day hazardous waste storage facility at Building 5110 (Aberdeen Area) and the permitted hazardous waste storage facilities located in Buildings E5850, E5862, E5864, and E5866 (Edgewood Area). The Contractor shall also coordinate and support special project services, such as laboratory cleanouts.

Contractor personnel shall ensure the continuous, safe, and compliant receipt, handling, and storage of hazardous and industrial wastes. All operations must comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Maryland.

The Contractor shall perform all physical, administrative, clerical, and technical tasks necessary to manage hazardous and industrial waste inventories. These tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Inspecting and operating hazardous waste storage facilities

• Evaluating and coordinating customer waste turn-in requests and special project needs

• Handling, weighing, segregating, storing, marking, labeling, inspecting, packaging, pouring, and tracking hazardous and industrial wastes

• Providing required sampling and analytical services

Additional details and full performance requirements are provided in the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).

PURPOSE OF THIS MARKET RESEARCH

Information received in response to this Sources Sought Notice will assist the Government in:

• Determining whether responsible and technically capable sources exist to perform hazardous waste collection, storage, consolidation, and disposal services

• Assessing the potential for adequate competition among qualified hazardous waste management firms

• Evaluating whether the requirement may be set aside for Small Business based on demonstrated capability in hazardous waste operations

• Informing future acquisition strategy decisions, particularly regarding compliance with RCRA, DOT, OSHA, and EPA hazardous waste handling requirements

If the requirement is competed on an unrestricted basis, Small Business responses may be used to establish subcontracting goals, especially for specialized hazardous waste functions such as sampling, characterization, manifesting, and operation of permitted storage facilities.

Respondents should clearly identify their business size and socioeconomic status (e.g., Small Business, 8(a), Woman-Owned, Minority-Owned, HUBZone, SDVOSB, etc.).

References may be used to verify past performance on Government or commercial contracts involving hazardous waste management, environmental compliance, or operation of RCRA-regulated facilities.

Interested firms should submit a capabilities statement—not to exceed 10 pages, formatted on 8.5 x 11-inch pages with 12-point font or larger—that demonstrates their ability to perform the hazardous waste services described in this notice. Bullet format is preferred. Capabilities should address experience with hazardous waste storage operations, waste segregation, sampling and analysis, manifesting, transportation, and compliance with federal and state environmental regulations.

No phone calls or email inquiries regarding the status of any future solicitation will be accepted prior to its official release.
