Quick Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a Presolicitation for a Remedial Investigation (RI) and Remedial Action (RA) at Site 51 (FAA Storage Yard) and Site 53 (Former Housing area) on the Annette Island Reserve, Alaska. This market research targets SEDB 8(a) certified vendors to identify qualified firms for a future contract involving hazardous substance removal and cleanup. Responses are due February 9, 2026.
Scope of Work & Special Considerations
The project involves delineating and excavating petroleum, lead, PCBs, and asbestos exceedances in subsurface soil and managing contaminated peat. Fieldwork is anticipated for Spring/Summer 2026 (April-September), with 60-hour workweeks and a short hiatus in early August for MIC Founder’s Day.
Key considerations for this remote location include:
- Metlakatla Indian Community (MIC) Authority: Vendors must have 10 years of experience with MIC Environmental Council regulations and city policies (permits, material purchase). All excavation backfill must be purchased from MIC; no organic materials can be brought to the island.
- Logistics & Environment: Challenges with GPS/telecommunications, remote field activity hazards (wetlands, dense forest, uneven terrain, wildlife), and complex sample shipment logistics off Annette Island.
- Technical Requirements: Need for an on-site field laboratory capable of processing 20 samples/24 hours for AK102/AK103, and capability for Silica Gel Cleanup (SGCU).
- Site Specifics: Heavy vegetation clearing (mulching mower), stump grinding, utility locating, water management in excavations, and compliance with hazardous materials regulations (potential for Large Quantity Generator status).
Information Requested
The FAA requests the following from interested SEDB 8(a) certified vendors:
- Company Name, Address, Point of Contact (name, email, phone), and UEI Number.
- Relevant experience on similar projects within the last five years.
- Proof of active SBA 8(a) certification.
- Crucially, experience within the last 10 years with MIC Environmental Council regulations and MIC city policies for worker/business permits and materials purchase.
Submission Details
Responses must be submitted via email to Sonia.o.holguin@faa.gov by February 9, 2026, at 1200 Central Time. Submissions are limited to five pages. Failure to provide all requested information will preclude receipt of the future solicitation. Mark all documents as PROPRIETARY.
