THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The intent of this "sources sought" synopsis is to identify qualified small businesses, 8(a) small businesses, historically underutilized business zone (HUBZONE) small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, emerging small businesses, woman-owned small businesses and other types of businesses that are eligible and responsible to perform this requirement and can meet the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Class Deviation 2021-O0008 Limitations on Subcontracting. The scope of work requires the removal, transportation, and disposal of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous wastes, non-RCRA wastes, Compressed Gas Cylinders, State-Regulated waste, Non-Hazardous Waste, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) located on or around military installations or within a 50-mile radius of any pickup location listed on the Pickup Locations document attached. All services necessary for the collection, storage, processing, removal, transportation, final treatment and disposal of waste shall be in accordance with all local, state, Department of Defense, and Federal laws and regulations. 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting DEVIATION 2021-O0008 states the Offeror/Contractor agrees to not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Contractors may be subject to a minimum $500,000 fine if awarded a contract with this clause and don’t meet the requirement. We have identified the majority of RCRA TSDFs (Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facilities) in the industry as large businesses. All TSDFs used during the performance of this contract must be approved and listed on the Qualified Facilities List (https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Offers/Disposal/HazardousWaste/HazWasteDisposal/). Given that there is a lack of small business ownership of TSDFs and that disposal costs can make up a large portion of the contract dollar value, there is a reasonable probability that a small business would pay more than 50% of the cost of the contract to large businesses. The Government intends to solicit proposals on sam.gov and award a Firm-Fixed Priced, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Services Contract. The contract is anticipated to have one 30-month base period, followed by one 30-month option period. There is no solicitation available currently. Firms responding to this sources sought should determine if they would be able to meet the Limitations on Subcontracting Deviation requirements. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Interested firms must demonstrate their ability to perform the requested services, described above, by submitting a brief capabilities package. This documentation shall identify, at a minimum: (1) Company name, office location(s), CAGE Code, and a statement identifying small business category and current status of the small business classification; (2) Relevant experience within the last five years, including description of the work you performed and how it relates to the scope of work identified above, any contract number(s), names of individuals responsible for the referenced contracts/projects, and current telephone numbers for those individuals; if you were a subcontractor, identify the work you actually performed as the sub-contractor; and ? (3) A statement identifying your firm’s ability to perform in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (CLASS DEVIATION 2021-O0008), as well as an explanation of how you would be able to comply with this requirement if you are a small business of any type considering the disposal requirements within the draft price schedule that is anticipated to be included in the contract. Large business respondents do not need to address this. (4) A listing of TSDFs your firm would use during the performance of this contract, identifying each TSDF as similarly situated or not as your firm. ?The submittal package must be emailed to erik.rundquist@dla.mil with “SOURCES SOUGHT Riley / Minot” in the subject line. The submittal package must be received no later than 1500 EST on February 18, 2025. LATE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition is in the Government's best interest. If an unrestricted solicitation is issued, then the Class Deviation 2021-O0008 Limitations on Subcontracting would not apply. All responsible firms, including small businesses, are eligible to submit a proposal in response to an unrestricted solicitation. A response to this sources sought will not be considered an adequate response to any forthcoming solicitation announcement. The Government WILL NOT provide a debriefing on the results of the sources sought. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this sources sought notice or any follow-up information requests. All information submitted will be held in a confidential manner and will only be used for the purpose intended.
