- Hazardous Waste Management Permit NIEHS Spill/Release Report NIEHS Off-Site Chemical Constituent List NIEHS Off-Site Chemical, Radioactive and Mixed Waste Disposal Statement of Work (SOW) This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of the notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement. Background. The National Institution of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) was deeded the South Campus location on June 26, 1967, by the Research Triangle Foundation (RTF). The NIEHS has only a proprietary interest in this land. This in effect means that although the Federal Government (NIEHS) has acquired title to this area in North Carolina, it has not obtained any measure of the State's authority over the area. This finding mandates that all contractors operating on all NIEHS property, leased or owned, in Durham County must adhere to all state and local requirements (i.e. building permits, etc). The NIEHS is one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) principal Federal Agency for biomedical research on the health effects of environmental agents. Purpose and Objective. The NIEHS purpose and need for the proposed requirement is to issue a multiple award requirement for (i) Chemical Waste Disposal; (ii) Radioactive Waste Disposal; and (iii) Mixed Waste Disposal. Project Requirement. The NIEHS is seeking all capable and qualified organizations to fully provide comprehensive waste management services for the removal, transportation and disposal of chemical, radioactive and mixed wastes generated by the NIEHS, with dedicated vehicles, equipment, personnel, and management support. The NIEHS anticipates multiple awards with delivery/task orders against the NIH IDIQ Contract HHSN263201000045I. Anticipated Period of Performance is from 28 September 2011 through 30 September 2015 with the inclusion of 1 base year and 3 twelve month option years. Other Important Consideration.

Additionally, a Material License has been issued to the NIEHS under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-438), and Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Parts 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40 and 70. The license authorizes the NIEHS to receive, acquire, possess, and transfer certain byproducts, source and/or special nuclear material, and to use such materials for research and development, laboratory tracer studies, gas chromatography and instrument calibration, and irradiation of biological samples except those of explosive or hazardous material/waste and waste radioactive material contract holder must comply with.
