Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Worth checking: Past debt or compliance problems can disqualify a bid. The QRP may reject a bid for current or past debt to the Federal Government, or earlier safety or environmental compliance failures.
- Worth checking: Single load or three loads is unclear. The solicitation sells three loads, but the transportation section calls for a trailer for the single load; ask the QRP how loads are to be hauled.
- Worth checking: Half the price is due fast and the rest before pick-up. A check for 50 percent must be postmarked within 24 hours of signing, and full payment must arrive before any load leaves.

- Worth checking: Inspection strongly encouraged; materials sold as-is. Inspection is not required, but a winner who skips it accepts the cans as-is with no price adjustment. Cans can be examined until one business day before the bid period closes.
- Worth checking: Removal within 21 calendar days. Hauling about 123,000 lbs per lot, three lots, must be finished within 21 calendar days, with pick-up booked at least 24 hours ahead and loading only 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST on weekdays.
- Minor: Buyer carries liability and spill cleanup. The buyer takes on injury and damage liability, and must report and clean up spills at its own cost.
