The Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point has issued a Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) solicitation for the purchase of used blended oil through a bid submission process. Bidders must indicate the bid amount per gallon and agree to pick up materials under specified conditions, including payment regulations that require certified checks or money orders to be received within fifteen days of invoicing. Bidders assume liability for any damages during the pick-up operations and must save the U.S. government harmless from any resulting damages. The government retains the right to terminate contracts with thirty days’ notice. The document necessitates completion of bidder information, including company details, contact information, and relevant licenses. The QRP aims to encourage recycling and environmental responsibility while engaging private entities in managing recyclable materials.
The document presents an Invitation to Bid for the sale of approximately 18,000 gallons of blended used oil from the MCAS Cherry Point. Bids must be submitted by April 29, 2025, with various submission methods allowed, including email and delivery. The highest qualified bidder will be awarded the contract, with requirements for eligibility including U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain necessary export licenses. Buyers are warned about potential hazardous substances and are held liable for any damages or injuries related to the purchase and use of the oil.
A 50% deposit is required prior to pickup, with the successful bidder responsible for transportation, adhering to DOT regulations, and cleaning up any spills. The agreement may be terminated for default if obligations are not met, and any disputes will be resolved by the QRP Manager. Additionally, there are stipulations regarding base access and vehicle safety compliance. Overall, this bidding opportunity underscores the government's process for disposing of environmental materials while ensuring adherence to regulations and safety standards.
