- Description
- Solicitation Number: SP4530-12-R-TBD001 is used as reference only. If a solicitation is issued the actual solicitation number will be determined at that time. Notice Type: Sources Sought Synopsis: Transportation, Treatment, Storage, and Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) waste in Japan This is a Sources Sought Announcement only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services will take procurement action in this matter. Further, DLA Disposition Services will not be responsible for any cost incurred in furnishing the information requested. This announcement is for formal market research only and should not be considered a Request for Proposal (RFP). The DLA Disposition Services J-7 Acquisition Management Office is conducting market research to determine the capabilities and qualifications of small and large businesses in the Japanese business sector in performing hazardous waste transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal services as related to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) waste. PCB waste is currently securely stored and shipped from various US military installations located in Japan, to various Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDF) located in the continental United States (CONUS). The purpose of this request is to determine whether there is the capability to properly treat, in-country, some quantity of the PCB inventory to (1) expedite the destruction of United States Forces Japan (USFJ) related PCB's, (2) minimize the potential for adverse environmental impact associated with prolonged storage and transcontinental transportation, and (3), reduce costs to the United States Government (USG). The quantity to be managed in-country will be determined by a variety of factors including the results of the information provided by parties responding to this notice and available funding. The purpose of this RFI is to assess the potential to obtain disposal of these wastes within Japan only-we are not seeking information about options that would involve export to third countries for disposal. The following are the USG's descriptions of its low level PCB items. These descriptions are based on US regulations and definitions. If these descriptions are not practical based on Japanese PCB regulations or industry treatment or disposal standards, please feel free to change or add new descriptions where appropriate. Please identify any which you are authorized to treat and have the present capacity or ability to treat.
