Q901--Radioactive Waste Removal and Disposal Services Indianapolis, IN

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, specifically the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, is soliciting qualified vendors to provide radioactive waste removal and disposal services for low-level radioactive waste (LLW). The contract requires vendors to remove and dispose of sealed radioactive sources (up to 200 pounds annually) and patient treatment waste byproducts (up to 50 pounds), including materials such as Ge-68 PET rods, Co-57 sources, Y-90 TheraSphere waste, and Lu-177 or I-131 treatment area materials. Prospective contractors must possess an active Radioactive Materials License from the NRC or an Agreement State, a current Commercial Driver's License with hazardous materials endorsement, and demonstrate compliance with NRC, DOT, and EPA regulations, along with submission of current licensing documentation and training credentials. The contract will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12 with evaluation based on per-job pricing submitted by offerors, and all proposals must be received electronically by January 29, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST.

This solicitation utilizes a small business set-aside designation and carries a total potential contract value of $47 million for a firm-fixed-price contract consisting of a base year plus four one-year option periods. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials, as this represents a brand new contract, though similar services were previously procured through government credit card orders. The contract specifies a wage determination of $23.40 per hour plus $5.55 in fringe benefits for refuse collectors under Service Contract Labor Standards. All work will be performed at a single central location—the loading and receiving dock of the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana—with no site visit offered since pickup operations are limited to this designated area. Historical waste disposal data from 2024-2025 and current sources and shipment records from 2023-2025 have been provided to support offerors in developing accurate pricing proposals.
