USMCFP SPRINGFIELD-MEDICAL WASTE REMOVAL
The contractor will provide removal and disposal of biomedical waste, trace chemotherapy waste, and pharmaceutical hazardous waste at USMCFP Springfield, with services performed at approved incineration facilities per federal, state, and local regulations. Biomedical waste removal is the primary requirement, with an estimated 85,000 pounds per year, invoiced based on actual weight, using red reusable tubs (max 24x24x24 inches) supplied by the contractor except sharps containers. Pickups for biomedical waste occur three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) between 7:30–10:30 a.m. or 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m., excluding federal holidays, at a site outside the secured perimeter near the West Gate. Pharmaceutical hazardous waste disposal covers Coumadin packaging, with estimated three pickups per year to keep onsite storage under 2.2 pounds, and trace chemotherapy waste is currently minimal (less than 12 bags per year) with pickup as required. The contractor must provide sanitized containers, manifest control verification, and comply with all applicable laws, including Missouri DNR requirements.
