This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Requirements (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this requirement is 75D30125Q00045 and is hereby issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) using FAR Subpart 13.1 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for municipal waste and recycling disposal services at the CDC National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH) Pittsburgh Bruceton Research Center as detailed in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). This contract will have a period of performance of one base year and four one-year option periods as follows, Base Period: January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025 Option Period One: January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026 Option Period Two: January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2027 Option Period Three: January 1, 2028, to December 31, 2028 Option Period Four: January 1, 2029, to December 31, 2029 Offerors shall submit a technical proposal, not to exceed four pages, that demonstrates their ability to meet all requirements identified in the PWS. If teaming/subcontracting arrangements are anticipated to meet the requirement to be licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide waste disposal services (PWS 10.1), the proposal shall identify the partner/subcontractor firm and provide licensing information for that firm. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its facilities, capabilities, and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. The offeror’s price proposal shall include pricing for each element identified in the attached pricing table for the base year and all option years. Failure to price all elements may make the proposal ineligible for award. The Government will evaluate offerors’ proposed price by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Each option period will be evaluated as shown above for the base period with the price analysis conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a). As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (FAR Clauses 52.217-8 – Option to Extend Services) by adding ½ of the Offeror’s final option period prices to the Offeror’s total price. Offerors are required only to price the base, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential on-half year extension of services period. The quote format is at the discretion of the offeror. Specific place of performance information is provided in the PWS.
