Waste Service Pickup

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking waste service pickup and destruction services for the disposal of prohibited agricultural items seized during inspections at three San Diego locations: San Diego International Airport Terminal 2, Shelter Island Harbor Police Dock, and Brown Field Airport. The contractor must provide containers (50-95 gallon capacity), collect APHIS-regulated garbage three times per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and properly incinerate or steam-sterilize the waste materials in compliance with USDA APHIS regulations. Key qualifications include maintaining a current USDA APHIS compliance agreement, ensuring all personnel pass background checks and obtain necessary airport badges, and providing documentation of pickup and disposal activities through weekly checklists and monthly reports. The contract will be awarded on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with evaluation consisting of a Price Quote (Volume I) and a Technical Quote (Volume II) that must demonstrate compliance with the Statement of Work requirements. The solicitation has been amended twice, with the final quote submission deadline extended to September 30, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET.

This solicitation is not designated as a small business set-aside and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the available documentation. The contract involves handling approximately 420 pounds of agricultural waste per week across the three collection sites, with the contractor responsible for providing five containers and maintaining regular collection schedules. The period of performance has been revised from an initial twelve-month contract to a nine-month term, commencing on September 30, 2025, with standard work hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. All services will be performed in San Diego, California, with the government intending to make a single award resulting from this firm-fixed-price solicitation.
