Description
THE INTENT OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS TO IDENTIFY QUALIFIED SMALL BUSINESSES, specifically 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, for the requirement described below. The intent of this Sources Sought is to identify capable small business that can perform with limitations on subcontracting. The scope of work will consist primarily of the removal, transportation, and disposal of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous wastes, non-RCRA wastes, State-Regulated wastes, Non-State Regulated wastes, Universal Wastes, Compressed Gases, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) located on or around military installations within the state of Hawaii, to include the outer islands. Additional pick-up locations within Hawaii may be added during the life of this contract at no additional cost to the government. FAR 52.52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (FEB 2023) CLASS 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 located at the following website: https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Offers/Disposal/HazardousWaste/HazWasteDisposal/. Given there is a lack of small business ownership of TSDFs and that disposal costs 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 at this time. However, attached is a DRAFT Price Schedule and DRAFT PWS that firms responding to this Sources Sought should use to help determine if they would be able to meet the Limitations on Subcontracting requirements. IF YOUR FIRM IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE REQUESTED SERVICES, WITHOUT THE LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING, THE CAPABILITIES PACKAGE DETAILED BELOW IS NOT REQUIRED. In accordance with FAR 6.101(a), with certain limited exceptions, contracting officers shall promote and provide for full and open competition in soliciting offers and awarding Government contracts. If your firm would like to respond to this Sources Sought, but is unable to meet the limitations on subcontracting, please email Aldona.mcmullen@DLA.mil with “SOURCES SOUGHT HAZ WASTE Hawaii” …
