Class A Radioactive Solid and Liquid Waste

The Government may have a need for contractor services in support of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP) for the permanent disposal of solid and liquid Class A Low Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) at a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or NRC-Agreement State licensed disposal facility.  Waste material for disposal will contain individual radionuclides or combinations of radionuclides listed in Title 10 CFR Part 61.  Waste material will meet the limits of Class A waste as defined by Title 10 CFR Part 61 Subpart D Part 61.55.  No waste material requiring disposal as Class B or Class C will be disposed under the resulting contract.  The Contractor shall provide services for disposal of components having unique design characteristics or for large components.  The disposal facility must be able to receive LLRW directly from NNPP sites or from Contractors that have processed NNPP waste under separate contract(s).

Contractor services are required for the transportation of material directly from NNPP sites to the disposal facility, at the option of the NNPP sites.  Waste shipments may come directly from the NNPP site or from contractors operating under separate contract(s) where the material has been volume reduced or otherwise processed/handled.  NNPP processed waste will be packaged and shipped by the processing contractor in accordance with Department of Transportation (DOT), Agreement State, and disposal site regulations.

Disposal and transportation services shall be provided in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and associated regulations, the DOT, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and associated regulations, radioactive waste compact, and the appropriate Agreement State (as applicable).
