- Description
- This amendment is issued to extend the due date for responses through 1700 Eastern Standard Time (EST) 15 January 2015. This Request for Information (RFI) Number DJF-15-RFI-Regulated Waste Management is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for proposal, bid or quote in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10. Responses to this RFI are not considered as offers made to the Government and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not provide reimbursement for any expenses incurred associated with the preparation of the response to this notice. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. The RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or services. No solicitation document exists at this time. A determination by the Government to proceed with any future resulting acquisition as a set-aside is within the discretion of the Government. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) notice is to survey the vendor community for potential sources that can provide nationwide Regulated Waste Management services to all 56 field offices and 380 resident agency facilities (see http://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field) within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Specifically, the FBI wishes to determine the availability of a single Contractor, having the necessary in-house resources OR the ability to obtain the required experience and skills through partnerships with other vendors through subcontracting efforts. Alternatively, if a Contractor's service coverage area is limited, therefore, is unable to provide nationwide coverage, the Contractor may submit a response to this RFI clearly identifying the region(s) it can service (e.g. by state). Scope: The FBI generates a small amount of hazardous and medical wastes on a periodic basis. A comprehensive listing of the potential regulated waste is unavailable. Occasionally, emergency spill response support is required at the 56 field offices. A call center is desirable to assist the FBI in determining if a material is a hazardous waste, and how to handle and store it prior to pick-up. The desire is for the contractor to provide all labor, supervision, supplies, and equipment necessary for the safe and proper removal and disposal of regulated waste while ensuring compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations. Regulated waste includes but is not limited to the following: hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste chemicals, occasional evidence waste (e.g. drug evidence), medical waste (e.g. sharps, biohazard wastes). Municipal solid waste and recycling (e.g. paper, plastic, glass, etc.) is NOT included in this requirement. Format, Delivery Date, and Point of Contact: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is requesting feedback in the form of technical capabilities, questions, and comments or suggestions related to the information contained within this RFI notice. All interested parties are invited to submit in writing, by the closing date indicate below for receipt of responses below, a capabilities package entitled "[Insert Company Name] Response to RFI DJF-15-RFI-Regulated Waste Management".
