Sources Sought Oil Water Separator Maintenance Service

The U.S. Air Force 460th Contracting Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive management and maintenance services for oil/water separators, grease traps, septic tanks, and sand interceptors. This sources sought notice is designed to identify interested and capable companies before a formal solicitation is issued. Key requirements include that contractors must be permitted waste haulers approved by applicable regulatory authorities, comply with federal, state, and local environmental regulations including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and Clean Water Act, and maintain confined space entry training and written plans per CFR 1910.146. Performance evaluation will be based on service quality standards, with a threshold requiring no more than one customer complaint per service month, and the government will conduct periodic inspections by the Contracting Officer's Representative to validate work performance. Interested companies must submit a capabilities statement by 4 PM MST on April 3, 2026, to SrA Guillermo Torres and TSgt Michael Roybal, including company name, address, point of contact information, CAGE Code, and UEI number, with the sources sought identification number in the email subject line.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The draft Performance Work Statement indicates specific service locations and frequencies: five oil/water separators requiring annual pumping and cleaning, seven grease traps requiring semi-annual maintenance with annual enzyme digestant, two septic tanks requiring annual cleaning with environmental testing, and five sand interceptors requiring semi-annual sediment removal. The contractor must provide all necessary management, tools, supplies, equipment, and labor for these services, with emergency response available within 24 hours under separate pricing arrangements. Services are to be performed in compliance with Metro Water Recovery rules and OSHA safety standards, with waste disposal testing required semi-annually and annually per 40 CFR 279.11. The services are scheduled to commence on February 17, 2026, and the government emphasizes that this sources sought notice carries no obligation, no contract award will result directly from this request, and the requirement remains a concept that may not proceed to formal solicitation.
