Hazardous Waste Transportation and Disposal Services

The Department of Energy Office of Science is seeking qualified subcontracting companies to provide hazardous waste management, transportation, and disposal services in support of National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) operations. This Pre-Solicitation Notice, posted on November 24, 2025, with a response deadline of December 19, 2025, aims to identify capable vendors through a Sources Sought process. The primary objective is to secure professional hazardous waste management services that meet NREL's operational requirements. While the government file referenced (SS-2026026705_Final_2025.11.24.pdf) contains specific evaluation criteria and contract requirements, vendors should review this document thoroughly to understand the technical qualifications and performance standards that will guide the formal solicitation. Interested companies should submit their capabilities statements and relevant documentation by the December 19, 2025 deadline to express their interest in this opportunity.

This Pre-Solicitation Notice carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all qualified contractors regardless of business size or ownership classification. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers, nor does it specify an award value or budget range at this stage of the procurement process. This is a Sources Sought notice rather than a formal Request for Proposal, meaning responses will be used to inform the development of the eventual full solicitation. Interested vendors should carefully review all posted government files to understand the scope, timeline, and specific requirements for hazardous waste services that NREL requires, as these details will inform their capability statements and future proposals.
