Chemical and Hazardous Waste Collection, Transportation and Disposal Services

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is soliciting proposals through RFP 15DDHQ25R00000017 for Chemical and Hazardous Waste Collection, Transportation, and Disposal Services across seven geographic regions in the United States. The services will support the DEA, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and state and local law enforcement agencies participating in the Authorized Central Storage (ACS) Program. Contractors must demonstrate capability to collect, transport, and dispose of hazardous waste, controlled substance-contaminated waste, universal waste, regulated medical waste, and non-hazardous chemical waste through properly licensed and permitted facilities. Key qualifications include EPA and state waste handling permits, HAZWOPER training (24-hour initial with 8-hour annual refresher), Department of Transportation Hazmat certification, bloodborne pathogen training, U.S. citizenship for all personnel, and background security clearances. The solicitation requires offerors to submit separate pricing sheets for each geographic area and up to three relevant service contracts from the past five years for past performance evaluation. The deadline for proposal submission is April 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of Amendment A0001 issued on March 19, 2026.

This is a non-set-aside solicitation representing a re-compete of existing IDIQ contracts previously awarded under numbers 15DDHQ20D00000005 through 15DDHQ20D00000011. The Government intends to award seven individual five-year firm-fixed-price IDIQ contracts, with each region having a maximum contract value of $40 million and a guaranteed minimum of $10,000, resulting in a total potential procurement value of $280 million across all regions. Services must be performed nationwide, with waste pickups required within 15 calendar days of task order issuance during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Contractors must provide Certificates of Destruction within 30 days of disposal and submit invoices electronically within 35 calendar days of waste pickup with supporting documentation including manifests, bills of lading, and weight tickets. The seven geographic regions include Rocky Mountain, Pacific Coast, Mid-Continental, South Central, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast, and New England, with offerors permitted to bid on one, several, or all regions to ensure comprehensive coverage and competitive pricing.
