The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking market information on small businesses that can provide document shredding services for a potential future contract. This is a sources sought notice, issued for planning purposes only, with a focus on identifying Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) that can meet the VA's requirements.
The VA is specifically looking for mobile shredding services to destroy records containing sensitive personal information (PII/PHI) at their facility in Neosho, Missouri. The successful awardee will be responsible for providing all necessary equipment and labor to perform the shredding services efficiently and securely.
To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must fall under the specified NAICS code of 561990 (All Other Support Services) and have a small business size standard of $16.5 million. Respondents should email their capabilities and interest to Maribel C Fratina at maribel.fratina@va.gov. It's important to note that this is not a solicitation and the government will not accept unsolicited offers. All response costs are the responsibility of the respondent.
This market research will help the VA assess the potential for a SDVOSB, VOSB, or small business set-aside for this requirement. Businesses that think they can meet the VA's needs are encouraged to respond, as this notice is a preliminary step that might lead to future procurement opportunities.
