This service will be conducted at SSA Field and Hearing offices located in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The goal of this contract is to ensure the secure destruction of sensitive materials in compliance with federal regulations. Work Details The contractor shall provide all labor, personnel, equipment, supplies, secured vehicles, materials, supervision, and other related services necessary for on-site document destruction services for security waste. Specific tasks include: - Collection of purge paper waste in banker boxes or similar containers supplied by SSA. - Scheduled pickups of security waste bins between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding federal holidays). - Ensuring that all security waste is directly taken to the contractor’s vehicle and destroyed in a manner that prevents reassembly. - Providing a witnessed Certificate of Destruction upon completion of service which must specify the method of destruction and identify the employees involved. - Compliance with SSA's rules and regulations while on government premises including identification requirements for contractor personnel. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the contract will be performed (if provided) Place of Performance The services will be performed at various SSA Field and Hearing offices located in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Bidder Requirements Bidders must demonstrate experience with secure document destruction services. They are required to have personnel who can obtain security clearances. Additionally, bidders must provide references from similar projects completed within the last three years. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on contract 28321320C00060013 awarded to Stericycle for $383,233 (05/28/20–12/31/25). The prior award description covers shredding services for SSA Region 7 field and hearing offices in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska under a statement of work, which aligns closely with the current requirement for on-site destruction of security waste at the same types of SSA locations. The scope and deliverables (on-site collection and destruction with required documentation) suggest the new effort may be a continuation or follow-on of the existing shredding/destruction services.
