How to bid on Kahuku Point soil cleanup for the FAA

What the FAA is seeking

The FAA is gathering information from small businesses ahead of a potential Screening Information Request for remedial action at the Kahuku Point Former Radio Range site on Oahu. The work described includes excavating and disposing of about 3,768 tons of lead- and PCB-contaminated soil, handling investigation-derived waste, and decommissioning and removing five shallow groundwater monitoring wells.

Backfilling and confirmation sampling are not required. This is a pre-solicitation request for capabilities, not the later solicitation itself. The FAA says a future award would use a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, and funds are not currently available.

Deadline and what it means

Submit the requested information by November 5, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time. The notice also lists a deadline of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which is the same time.

Who this opportunity may suit

The FAA is seeking SBA small-business concerns with relevant experience in work like contaminated-soil excavation and disposal, waste handling, or shallow monitoring-well removal. A capable respondent should be able to address the stated site work and provide examples of similar projects completed within the last five years.

How to access and respond

Keep the complete response to no more than five pages. Mark documents PROPRIETARY where applicable.

Prepare a clear, relevant response

Use the five-page limit to connect your past work directly to the described tasks. Give specific examples from the last five years and make the contract numbers and supporting references easy to find.

Explain how your experience relates to excavation, offsite disposal, waste characterization needs, well decommissioning, utility locating, GIS survey coordinates, and required permits or notifications. These are practical ways to show relevance; keep claims tied to work your company has actually performed.
