Gas Cylinders - Remove, Transport, Dispose
The USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center in Hilo, Hawaii, seeks contractor services to safely remove, characterize if necessary, transport, and dispose of three legacy compressed gas cylinders with unknown contents. The cylinders are stored in a USDA building and are no longer needed for research; their steel caps are corroded and stuck, so specialized hydraulic equipment may be required to access and replace valves safely. The contractor must provide all technical expertise to safely identify the gases when required and to package, transport, and dispose of the cylinders in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. This acquisition is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and falls under NAICS 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, with a $19 million small business size standard.
