AI summary Beta

The VA's White City, Oregon campus (SORCC) wants a contractor to pump out about 3,200 gallons of old E85 fuel from an unused 5,000-gallon tank and haul it off for recycling or disposal. This is a Sources Sought notice, so the VA is checking which companies could do the work. The work is planned for one month, Nov. 1-30, 2026.

Watch out for

Flammable fuel and fire/spill risk. The SOW names fuel spills and fires as the main risks, so you need safe tank-opening procedures, ignition control and spill response, and likely hazmat waste hauling credentials. Risks associated with this task are potential fuel spills, and fires.
Sources Sought, not a solicitation. This notice only gathers interest and market information; no award is made from it, and no instructions on what to send in are given in the text provided.
