About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Tucson Sector is seeking hazardous and universal waste removal services for ten facilities located throughout southern Arizona. The services encompass collection, transportation, and disposal of various waste streams including batteries, pepper spray, light bulbs, paint/primer, used oil, filters, solvents, aerosol cans, medical waste, lead waste, antifreeze, and gasoline on an as-needed basis with a maximum seven-day response time. The contractor must provide all storage containers, equipment, and personnel while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, conducting monthly progress reports, developing waste profiles, and ensuring personnel pass background checks. This Request for Quotations follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13 with a firm fixed unit price contract structure, where payment will be based on actual waste quantities disposed rather than estimated amounts. Questions were due by September 4, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. PDT, with quotations due September 8, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. PDT, and award anticipated around September 19, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection) with a size standard of $47.0 million, and the Q&A document indicates this is a re-solicitation following the expiration of the previous contract on August 1st. The contract includes a base year from September 29, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with two one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2028, for a potential total contract duration of three years. Key waste volume estimates include approximately 400 gallons of medical waste consisting of soiled clothing, needles, and syringes, along with various quantities of other hazardous materials generated from CBP operations. Performance will occur across ten locations in southern Arizona, including the Tucson Sector headquarters and Border Patrol stations in Douglas, Three Points, Ajo, Bisbee, Willcox, Casa Grande, Nogales, Sonoita, and Eloy. All contractor personnel must be escorted by government personnel during facility access, and vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award consideration.
