Statement of Requirement The U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center (PBARC), Hilo, Hawaii, requires contractor services to safely remove, characterize (if necessary), transport, and dispose of three (3) compressed gas cylinders with unknown contents (see Figure 1).

The cylinders are legacy materials located in a USDA storage building and are no longer required for research operations.

Note: The removable steel cylinder caps have become corroded and stuck, making them difficult to remove.

Since shipping regulations require tank valves to be accessible, specialized hydraulic equipment may be needed to detach the caps and replace the valves safely.

Because the identity and condition of the gases cannot be confirmed by the Government, the contractor shall provide all technical expertise necessary to safely identify (when required), package, transport, and dispose of the cylinders in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
