The VA is conducting market research to identify qualified small‑business firms capable of providing comprehensive above‑ground storage tank (AST) inspection, fuel‑oil filtration, treatment, testing, hazardous‑waste disposal, and related reporting services at the Kansas City VA Medical Center. The eventual contract is expected to be a five‑year IDIQ with annual ordering periods, requiring yearly inspections each February and associated fuel‑oil services. The effort involves 16 tanks totaling roughly 110,000 gallons, covering diesel, gasoline, and #2 fuel oil, and demands compliance with API 653, EPA, OSHA, and VA standards, as well as possession of relevant certifications and permits.
• Perform annual API 653‑compliant inspection, certification, and integrity testing of 16 above‑ground fuel tanks.
• Provide fuel‑oil filtration, polishing, water removal, and chemical treatment to meet specified water‑content and cetane standards, including laboratory analysis and detailed reporting.
• Manage hazardous‑waste handling, disposal manifests, and submit comprehensive documentation (inspection reports, deficiency lists, repair proposals, and certifications) within strict 14‑day timelines.
