The Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in Parris Island, South Carolina, is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price contract to sell approximately 44,000 pounds of expended deformed small arms brass shell casings, limited to .50 caliber or smaller cartridge cases. Interested contractors are required to inspect the materials prior to bidding, as claims related to quality will not be accepted post-award, and the selection will be based on the Highest Price Technically Acceptable (HPTA) criteria. This procurement supports the government's recycling initiatives and compliance with environmental standards, ensuring responsible disposal of surplus materials. Proposals must be submitted by 2:00 PM EDT on October 8, 2024, with inquiries directed to Captain Zach Keener at zachary.e.keener.mil@usmc.mil or by phone at 843-228-2129.
