The Department of Defense (or a related federal health agency) is seeking a smallâbusinessâsetâaside to provide regulated medical waste (RMW) collection, transport, treatment, and disposal services across the entire United States, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The solicitation is a combined synopsis/solicitation and will result in up to three separate indefiniteâdelivery, indefiniteâquantity (IDIQ) firmâfixedâprice contractsâone for each of the West, Central, and East regions. The award will be a singleâaward contract per region, and the contractor will be responsible for ongoing RMW management, compliance with federal and state regulations, and possibly providing related documentation and reporting. Because it is an IDIQ, the government will issue task orders as needs arise, with no predetermined quantity or end date. The contract is setâaside for small businesses, so eligibility and sizeâstandard compliance are critical.
