Haz Waste Disposal Blanket Purchase Agreement

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation is seeking a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for hazardous waste disposal services for its South-Central California Area Office (SCCAO). The solicitation (140R2025Q0003) requires a contractor to provide comprehensive hazardous waste transportation, loading assistance, and disposal services for multiple facilities in California, including locations in Tracy, Friant, and Bradbury. The BPA will cover 64 different line items of hazardous materials, including used oils, antifreeze, pesticides, mercury waste, automotive batteries, and paint waste. Vendors will be evaluated on technical acceptability (pass/fail), past performance, and price, with the award going to the lowest-cost, technically acceptable quote. The solicitation requires vendors to submit proof of business licenses, insurance, certifications, and DOT permits, with quotes due by December 11, 2024 at 3:00 PM PST.

The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 562112 with a maximum value of $150,000 and a five-year performance period from December 16, 2024, to December 15, 2029. The incumbent contractor is Black Gold Industries, who held the previous BPA from 2018-2023. While the solicitation lists a $150,000 maximum, amendment documents suggest an estimated annual spend of $2-3 million. The contractor must provide all necessary transportation vehicles, placards, container labels, safety equipment, and personnel for loading and unloading waste containers across three Bureau of Reclamation locations. Materials will be picked up from facility Hazmat Areas, with at least one drum typically collected per pickup, and multiple pickups anticipated throughout the contract period. The BPA includes detailed requirements for handling various hazardous materials, with specific provisions for container replacement and waste management protocols.
