Initiative Offers a New Way to Market Government Scrap

DRMS offering long-term contract to handle all scrap metal.

Published March 24, 2004

The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service has posted on its website a Request for Technical Proposals and Draft Invitation for Bids for the multi-year sale of scrap material at locations nationwide.

 

This "Scrap Venture" Initiative offers the high bidder the chance to purchase nearly all scrap material collected by DRMS that are generated within the continental United States and Alaska. The term of the sale will be at least 7 years, and DRMS may elect to extend the term to up to 10 years. After a review of the technical proposals, DRMS officials will invite all those found technically qualified to bid. Technical proposals will be due Tuesday, May 4, and DRMS expects that bids will be due on or about June 30.

 

Potential bidders should note that the provisions of the SV Initiative have been modified in response to industry suggestions received at the DRMS Scrap Venture Industry Forum. Anyone considering making an offer should carefully review the RFTP and Draft IFB online at http://www.drms.dla.mil/sales/scrap/scrap_venture/scrap_venture.html prior to submitting a technical proposal. If you are unable to access the DRMS Web site, but are interested in receiving a package, please request a copy via email at Tina.Aldrich@dla.mil.
