In order to cover this fluctuation in potential drum weight and thus price, this offeror is requesting that these line item be priced by the container size, i.e., CLIN suffixes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 similar to the other hazardous CLINs vs by the “kg”.

DLA Response: DLA understands that some containers may be lightweight and will result in lower net charges than heavyweight containers. The same holds true for aerosols having the C7 CLIN suffix and priced per pound. PCB wastes were priced “per pound” under DLA contracts in the U.S. for 25+ years and we recently made the change to “per kilogram” pricing to standardize reporting of the DOD’s PCB disposal costs worldwide. As such, DLA will not change the Unit of Measure (U/M) for PCB-related wastes at this time.
