Biomedical Waste Removal Services for USMCFP Springfield, Missouri

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Field Acquisition Office is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing comprehensive biomedical waste removal services for the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (USMCFP) in Springfield, Missouri. The contract will require the contractor to supply all labor, supervision, equipment, transportation, and management needed to collect, transport, and dispose of biomedical waste, trace chemotherapy waste, pharmaceutical hazardous waste (including Coumadin packaging), and other pharmaceutical waste in accordance with federal, state (Missouri Department of Natural Resources), and local regulations. Services include providing approved containers (except sharps, which are supplied by the facility), performing thermal destruction or incineration at authorized facilities, maintaining manifest control records, and adhering to security background‑investigation requirements for all personnel (which may take 30 days or longer). The anticipated workload is modest—approximately three pickups per year for Coumadin waste and fewer than twelve bags annually for trace chemotherapy waste—with no pickups on federal holidays. The anticipated contract period is a base year of 12 months with up to four optional one‑year extensions (total of five years).
