What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking procurement services for the reclamation and refurbishment of Halon 1301 System Cylinders through a Request for Quote (RFQ). This opportunity is open to all businesses, as there is no set-aside for small businesses. Contractors will be responsible for transporting empty cylinders from the Defense Depot Richmond, VA, to their facility for refurbishment and re-certification, with the government providing loading and unloading assistance. Interested parties should note the solicitation type, indicating a need to track the RFQ closely rather than submit a bid.
