Hazardous Waste Disposal- Stuttgart, AR

The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking hazardous waste disposal services through Request for Quotation 1232SA26Q0100, a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared under FAR Part 12. The procurement encompasses comprehensive waste management services, including packaging, manifesting, transportation, and disposal of various chemical wastes generated at two research facilities in Stuttgart, Arkansas: the Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center and the Stuttgart National Aquaculture Research Center. Contractors must demonstrate technical expertise in hazardous waste disposal and proficiency in "Lab Pack" waste disposal procedures, comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and provide all necessary labor, materials, safety equipment, vehicles, licenses, and permits. The government will evaluate quotations using lowest price technically acceptable criteria, considering price fairness, technical acceptability, and past performance to identify the offer representing best value. The solicitation was posted on January 14, 2026, with quotations due by January 28, 2026, and offerors must maintain pricing for a 90-day hold period.

This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a small business size standard of $47.0 million under NAICS code 562211. No incumbent contractor or budget range is specified in the available documentation. The procurement involves a one-time removal of hazardous waste rather than ongoing services, with contractors required to submit separate lump-sum quotations for waste streams from each research center (Appendices A and B), encompassing all associated costs for labor, packaging, transport, disposal, and documentation. While specific waste quantities are detailed in the appendices, both disposals may occur simultaneously to reduce costs. The work will be performed in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160, with waste removal conducted during standard working hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, and contractors must submit Certificates of Disposal within three months of waste receipt.
