The United States Air Force's Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is seeking hazardous waste program support services through a sources sought notice. The procurement involves comprehensive hazardous waste management services including container pick-ups from approximately 115 initial accumulation points, waste transportation, container compliance management, database tracking, waste characterization, packaging, and preparation for off-site disposal. Contractors must provide trained personnel with certifications in OSHA, EPA, and DOT regulations, maintain three hazardous waste accumulation sites, perform waste segregation, conduct detailed documentation, and manage universal and PCB-related wastes while ensuring regulatory compliance. The Air Force will evaluate responses based on technical compliance with specifications, performance history including recent commercial customers to determine commerciality, and detailed capability statements demonstrating clear technical compliance. Interested firms must submit 25-page capabilities packages by July 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST electronically to specified email addresses, and the government will use these responses to determine whether a future solicitation will be a full and open competition or a small business set-aside.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 562112 with a small business size standard of $47.0 million, specifically targeting small businesses including 8(a), HUBZone, Women-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small businesses.

The contract will require managing approximately 24 waste load-outs per year with specific timelines for waste accumulation, verification, and disposal processes. Personnel must possess valid commercial driver's licenses with "H" endorsements and experience in hazardous waste operations, with installation-specific training required within 60 days of contract award. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining quality management plans, submitting monthly progress reports, and coordinating with other on-site contractors throughout the performance period. No current solicitation exists, and responses to this sources sought notice are not considered offers that can form a binding contract.
