Waste Service Pickup

U.S. Customs and Border Protection seeks a firm-fixed-price contract for weekly offsite pickup and disposal of APHIS-regulated agricultural waste from six San Diego-area border inspection locations, with proposals due June 19 and questions due June 15. The acquisition is unrestricted and issued as a Request for Quotes under FAR Part 12, with award on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable basis.

Place of performance includes Terminal 2 of San Diego International Airport, Shelter Island Harbor Police Dock, Brown Field Airport, Port of San Ysidro, Port of Otay Mesa, and Port of Tecate. The contractor must provide offsite pickup three times weekly from the first three locations, twice weekly from San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, and once weekly from Tecate, with total weekly volume of approximately 1,920 pounds across all sites. Disposal occurs via offsite incineration or steam sterilization in compliance with 7 CFR 330.400-330.403 and 9 CFR 94.5; the contractor must maintain current USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine compliance agreement PPQ Form 519 and submit weekly checklists and monthly reports.

The contract covers a base year from June 30, 2026 through June 29, 2027, with four one-year option periods extending through June 29, 2031. All contractor personnel require NCIC background clearance from CBP, driver's license verification, CBP-sponsored airport SIDA badges with tarmac endorsements, clean local law enforcement records, non-drug user status, and bondability. Work hours are 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with service required on holidays and non-traditional workdays as scheduled. The NAICS code is 562111, Solid Waste Collection; PSC is S205. Quoters submit separate volumes for price and technical acceptability; technical evaluation is pass/fail, with prices evaluated sequentially until technical acceptance is confirmed. Amendment A0001 (posted June 17) provides questions and answers addressing disposal methodology, container requirements, and weight certification.
