Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is conducting a Sources Sought market survey to identify capable sources for Industrial Process Waste (IPW) Cleaning services at Robins Air Force Base, GA. This effort supports aircraft programmed depot maintenance operations by ensuring the proper cleaning and maintenance of industrial equipment and facilities. The government is contemplating a five-year service contract. Responses are due by close of business on March 8, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required services involve cleaning a wide range of industrial equipment used in aircraft programmed depot maintenance. This includes paint facilities (booths and bays), plating and rinse tanks, degreasers, sanding booths, robotic equipment, metal band saws, trench drains, paint stripping booths, storm drains, floor recovery systems, vacuum systems, grit blast systems, parts cleaners, air flow tunnels, vent plenum drain screens, stripping bays, water wash grinding booths, and dust collectors. Many of these processes generate hazardous residue and waste, necessitating proper containment, packaging, labeling, and transportation of hazardous waste to the Hazardous Waste Processing Facility on Robins AFB, GA. Specific tasks include filter change-outs, chemical tank charging, extraction, cleaning, and wiping of residues from various plating tanks (chemical mill, etching, chrome, acids, stripping, degreasing, rinse).
