About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Logistics Management Directorate is seeking disposal and destruction services for 1,667 tons of expired Human Daily Rations (HDR) meals stored at two distribution centers in Puerto Rico. The contractor will be responsible for picking up, transporting, and destroying approximately 1,111,680 expired meals (1,157 pallets) from Distribution Center Caribbean in San Juan and Annex Cayey, with each pallet containing either 576 or 960 meals depending on the documentation version. Key requirements include providing government-issued identification for warehouse access, coordinating pickup schedules with FEMA representatives, destroying meals during specified operating hours (Monday through Friday, 08:00-14:00 local time), and submitting certificates of destruction within 7 business days to ensure products do not re-enter public circulation. The contract will be evaluated based on technical approach (most important factor), disposal service schedule, past performance, and price using a best value determination. Quotes are due by 8:00 AM Eastern Time on September 22, 2025, and must be submitted through SAM.gov.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) with a size standard of $47 million. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price arrangement with a 120-day performance period running from the award date through January 27, 2026. The work involves disposal of meals from two specific locations: Distribution Center Caribbean at Caribbean Industrial Park in San Juan (containing 744,960-747,840 meals across 778-1,298 pallets) and Annex Cayey (containing 363,840 meals across 379-632 pallets), with an optional additional 2,880 meals available. Performance will take place at Carr 175 km 0.4, Rio Canas Ward, Caguas, Puerto Rico, with the contractor required to comply with established warehouse security procedures at both facilities. The meals include products from manufacturers Ameriqual and Wornick, with various expiration dates, and the contractor must ensure complete destruction to prevent the commodities from re-entering public distribution channels.
