Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Collection Destruction Services

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is seeking a vendor to provide aqueous film-forming foam collection and destruction services in Columbus, Ohio. The agency needs to address the contamination risks associated with this foam, which is used for chemical fires but contains highly concentrated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that can contaminate drinking water supplies. This initiative builds on a prior agency contract that established a registration system and successfully collected and destroyed over thirteen thousand gallons of foam from eligible fire departments. The selected vendor must perform all work offsite at their own office premises. Eligibility for this opportunity is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for these services. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 29, 2026. The agency has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria in the initial announcement. Bidders must monitor the procurement channel for further updates regarding the submission deadline and evaluation process.
