The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for municipal waste and recycling disposal services at the CDC National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH) Morgantown, WV as detailed in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). This contract will have a period of performance of one base year and four one-year option periods as follows, Base Period: 2/1/2025 to 1/31/2026 Option Period One: 2/1/2026 to 1/31/2027 Option Period Two: 2/1/2027 to 1/31/2028 Option Period Three: 2/1/2028 to 1/31/2029 Option Period Four: 2/1/2029 to 1/31/2030 Offerors shall submit a technical proposal, not to exceed four pages, that demonstrates their ability to meet all requirements identified in the PWS. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its facilities, capabilities, and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. The offeror’s price proposal shall include pricing for the base year and all option years shown in the attached pricing table. Failure to price all line items may make the proposal ineligible for award. The Government will evaluate offerors’ proposed price by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clauses 52.217-8 – Option to Extend Services) by adding ½ of the Offeror’s final option period prices to the Offeror’s total price. Offerors are required only to price the base, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential on-half year extension of services period. The quote format is at the discretion of the offeror. Specific place of performance information is provided in the PWS.
