Opportunity description
Lewis McChord (JBLM) HW Disposal Contract 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 requires the transportation and disposal of RCRA Hazardous wastes, non-RCRA wastes, Batteries, Corrosive waste, Compressed Gas Cylinders, Flammable waste, Demil-required waste, State-Regulated waste, Non-Hazardous Waste, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), AFFF and other PFAS-related waste, Mandatory Recycling waste, Reactive waste, and Toxic waste in and around Joint Base Lewis McChord; this will include about 78 Pickup Points in and around the State of Washington and Oregon. Special services will be required such as sampling and analysis, industrial cleaning services, lab packs/loose packs, rolloff box rentals, vacuum box rentals, FRAC Tank rentals, and expedited removals and performance. This scope also encompasses the provision of various supplies upon government request. All services necessary for the collection, storage, processing, removal, transportation, final treatment and disposal of waste shall be in accordance with all local, state, Department of Defense, and Federal laws and regulations. FAR 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/Disposition-Services/Offers/Hazardous-Waste-Disposal/Qualified-Facilities-List/ 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, DRAFT PWS, and Anticipated Pickup Points 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 Bradley.Moehlig@dla.mil & Michael.Mamaty@dla.mil with �JBLM - SOURCES SOUGHT HAZ� in the subject line, stating your firms� Notification of Interest (a capabilities package is not required).

Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition is in the Government's best interest.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 562211 · PSC S222 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

The listed product or service classification is NAICS 562211 · PSC S222. The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
