What the government is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking hazardous and universal waste disposal services for its facility in Grand Junction. This is environmental remediation work governed by strict federal and state regulations around the handling, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials.
Work under NAICS 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection) typically includes the pickup, transport, treatment, and final disposal of waste streams classified as hazardous under RCRA or as universal waste (such as batteries, lamps, and certain electronic waste). Contractors in this field must maintain EPA identification numbers, approved treatment storage and disposal facility connections, and DOT hazmat transportation certifications. Specific waste streams, volumes, service frequencies, and any on-site handling requirements—see the solicitation.

How to put together a competitive bid
Hazardous waste disposal contracts are evaluated heavily on regulatory compliance and risk mitigation. Structure your proposal to demonstrate:
Certifications and permits. List your EPA identification number, DOT hazmat registration, and any state-specific Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment permits. Include copies of your hazardous waste transporter license and any treatment or disposal facility agreements.
Technical approach. Describe your waste profiling procedures, manifest tracking system, and chain-of-custody documentation. Explain how you handle emergency spills and your response time to the Grand Junction facility. Address any specialized equipment or personnel training—see the solicitation for specific service requirements.
Past performance. Provide relevant contract examples from the last three years involving federal or commercial hazardous waste disposal, particularly for healthcare or government facilities. Include reference contact information and performance ratings if available.
Safety and environmental record. Include your OSHA injury/illness rates, any EPA enforcement actions, and your experience modification rate. Strong EMR scores and clean compliance histories distinguish bids in this field.
Pricing structure. Hazardous waste pricing often varies by waste type, drum size, and disposal method. Clarify whether your pricing is all-inclusive (transport, treatment, manifest fees) or itemized.
