Contractors which can provide equivalent cost effective processing and disposal (in accordance with 40 CFR 761 requirements) to the methods listed above are also encouraged to respond. These services will require the transportation of the equipment from NNSY and U.S. locations to the contractor's processing facility. The services will also require the safeguarding of classified Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information.
