GUAM Meal Disposal

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Logistics Management Directorate is seeking contractors to dispose of and destroy 432 tons of expired meals from their Distribution Center in Guam. The procurement involves the pickup, transportation, and destruction of 479,072 expired meals ready to eat distributed across 870 pallets, with contractors required to provide proof of destruction to ensure the products do not re-enter public circulation. Key contract requirements include coordinating with the Contracting Officer's Representative for scheduling, conducting pickups Monday through Friday between 07:30-1400 local time excluding federal holidays, and submitting certificates of destruction within seven business days that certify the products are no longer available for human consumption. The solicitation will be evaluated using a best value approach with three factors: Technical Specification (most important), Disposal Plan, and Price, with offerors required to submit technical quotes not exceeding five pages and detailed pricing sheets. The critical deadline for quote submission is 3:00 PM on August 15, 2025, with a 60-day offer validity period required.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) with a $47 million size standard, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, with contractors required to provide their own bins and equipment while government personnel will handle loading waste at the FEMA Distribution Center. The performance period spans 30 days from the award date, specifically from August 14, 2025, to September 13, 2025, during which the contractor must complete all pickup, transportation, and destruction activities. The place of performance is the FEMA Distribution Center located in Barrigada, Guam, where contractors must comply with security procedures including presenting government-issued picture identification for facility access. Pricing is structured on a per-ton basis for the disposal services, though specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation.
