Oily Waste Offload

This Statement of Work details a federal contract opportunity for the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (CGC) TAHOMA, homeported in Newport, Rhode Island. The government requires contractor support to safely remove, transport, and properly dispose of up to 3,000 gallons of oily waste from the vessel. Due to pier weight restrictions that prevent vacuum trucks from driving onto the pier, the contractor must supply approximately 400 feet of hose to reach the cutter's 2-inch female discharge connection. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary personnel, equipment, pumps, and spill prevention measures, as well as restoring the work area to its original condition. The primary service date is scheduled for July 22, 2026, with an alternate date of July 23, 2026, during normal working hours (0800-1600). The government will provide vessel access, designate a representative, and operate shipboard valves. Upon completion, the contractor must provide written confirmation of the waste removal and any required waste disposal manifests. Work acceptance is contingent upon successful waste removal, zero environmental spills, and restoration of the work area.

This document is an excerpt from the Acquisition.GOV Smart Matrix Table, which serves as a regulatory guide for federal contracting. It outlines specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions and clauses applicable to fixed-price (FP) and service (SVC) contracts. For each listed item, the matrix details the FAR clause number (such as definitions, subcontracting restrictions, and anti-kickback procedures), its effective date, the prescribing FAR subpart, whether it is a provision (P) or a clause (C), and its requirement status (R). Key policy areas covered in this selection include supply chain security, prohibitions on specific foreign technologies (such as Kaspersky Lab, certain telecommunications equipment, and foreign-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems), contractor whistleblower rights, human trafficking prohibitions, small business payment acceleration, and subcontracting guidelines. This matrix is used by government contracting officers and bidders to ensure compliance with mandatory statutory and regulatory requirements during the solicitation and contract execution phases.
