This is the process through which temporary paper records are pulped, macerated, or shredded to a degree that definitively ensures that they are not readable or reconstructable to any degree. Personally-Identifiable Information, (PII). PII is any information about an individual including, but not limited to, education, financial transactions, medical history and criminal or employment history, and information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, biometric records, including any other personal information which is linked or linkable to an individual. Readable. Printed data is readable when strategies can be used to assist with decoding (the translation of letters and or symbols into sounds or visual representations of speech) data and arriving at comprehension through the use of morpheme, semantics, syntax and contextual clues to integrate the information they have read into their existing framework of knowledge in order to arrive at a meaning. Reconstructable. Printed data is reconstructable when methods can be employed to reassemble the various portions of material in such a fashion that data can be decoded and meaning can be derived from the data found on the media. Temporary Records. As defined in 36 C.F.R. 1220.14, temporary records are those records that have been determined by the Archivist of the United States to have insufficient value to warrant preservation by NARA. Temporary paper records are eligible for destruction by burning, pulping or shredding. Examples of temporary records would be copies of hardcopy documents for research or development projects. VA Sensitive Information. VA sensitive information is all Department data, on any storage media or in any form or format, which requires protection due to the risk of harm that could result from inadvertent or deliberate disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information. The term includes information whose improper use or disclosure could adversely affect the ability of an agency to accomplish its mission; proprietary information; records about individuals requiring protection under various confidentiality provisions such as the Privacy Act and the HIPPA Privacy Rule; and information that can be withheld under the Freedom of Information Act. Examples of VA sensitive information include the following: individually identifiable medical, benefits and personal information; financial; budgetary; identifiable research; quality assurance; confidential commercial; critical infrastructure; investigation and law enforcement information; information that is confidential and privileged in litigation such as that which is protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney work-product privilege, or the attorney client privilege; and other information which, if released, could result in violation of law or harm or unfairness to any individual or group, or could adversely affect the national interest or the conduct of federal programs.

The provision at FAR 52.212-1, INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015), applies to this acquisition with the following addendum: FAR 52.216-1 Type of Contract (APR 1984): The government anticipates the awarding of a single firm-fixed price contract to fulfill this requirement; VAAR852.270-1 (JAN 2008). The provision at FAR 52.212-2, EVALUATION -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS, applies to this acquisition. (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the Offer deemed to be the most advantageous to the Government. Competing offeror's technical approach and past performance will be evaluated as significantly more important than price considerations, with past performance being more important than technical. The lowest price proposal may not necessarily be selected; likewise, the proposal receiving the highest technical rating may not necessarily be selected. Offerors who propose to perform the work for an unrealistically low price will not be considered for award. Where applicable, the techniques and procedures described under FAR 13.106-2 will be the primary means of assessing proposal reasonableness. An offeror's proposal shall represent the offeror's best efforts to respond to the solicitation. By submission of its quote, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offeror's must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: TECHNICAL FACTOR (Factor 1): a.Perform document shredding service in accordance with the standards of VA Directive 6371 dated April 8, 2014. b.Contractor shall be a national Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certified, bonded and insured contractor with established measures to provide sufficient reasonable safeguards to protect the records until final destruction has been completed. c.Contractor shall have mobile destruction equipment for on-site destruction services. Technical (Factor 1) will be evaluated as follows: ADJECTIVALDEFINITION OutstandingProposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. GoodProposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. AcceptableProposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate. MarginalProposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. UnacceptableProposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is not awardable. Definitions of Key Technical Merit Evaluation Terms: Deficiency - A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. Strength - Any aspect of a proposal that, when judged against a stated evaluation criterion enhances the merit of the proposal or increases the probability of successful performance of the contract. Weakness - A flaw in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. PAST PERFORMANCE (Factor 2): 1.Provided Past Performance information on three (no more than 5) recent and relevant contracts demonstrating the Offeror's capability of providing trained and qualified personnel for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance as stated in the SOW. More recent and relevant performance will have a greater impact on the performance confidence assessment than less recent and /or less relevant effort. Past performance information will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 8.405-2(a)(4)(d). In assessing past performance the Government may employ several approaches including: (a) reviewing past performance data submitted (b) seeking additional present and past performance and (c) using data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources (e.g., the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System, (CPARS)). The Government will conduct a performance confidence assessment based on aspects of an offeror's past performance, focusing on and targeting performance that is recent (within the last 3 years), relevant to the requirements of this solicitation, and similar in complexity and magnitude compared to the requirements of the solicitation. Performance that is not recent, relevant, similar in complexity, or similar in magnitude will not be evaluated for purposes of the confidence assessment. The performance confidence assessment process will result in an overall confidence rating. This performance confidence assessment rating represents the Government's judgment of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. Lack of recent and relevant past performance that is similar in complexity and magnitude to this solicitation will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, but on a neutral or unknown basis. If adverse past performance is revealed, the offeror will be afforded an opportunity to address the adverse information (unless the information was obtained through PPIRS, in which case the offeror has already had an opportunity to respond). Past Performance (Factor 2) will be evaluated as follows: ADJECTIVALDEFINITION OutstandingPast performance meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. GoodPast performance meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. AcceptablePast performance meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is moderate. MarginalPast performance does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. UnacceptablePast performance does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is not awardable. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a proposed subcontractor cannot be disclosed to an offeror without the subcontractor's consent. Offeror shall provide with its proposal a letter from each proposed subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of its past performance information to an offeror. PRICE (Factor 3): Price proposals will be evaluated for "reasonableness" using one or more of the techniques identified in FAR 8.404(d). Price will be considered in conjunction with the technical and past performance ratings in determining the best overall value to the Government. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. The Government intends to award only one (1) contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is responsive to the solicitation and determined to be the best overall value to the Government. In order to determine best overall value, this acquisition will utilize a trade-off process. The process permits trade-offs among technical, past performance and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest price proposal. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS AND SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS STATUS (Factor 4): In an effort to achieve socioeconomic small business goals, depending on the evaluation factors included in the solicitations, VA may evaluate offerors based on their veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned status, their proposed use of veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors, and their past performance on adherence to subcontracting plan requirements. Firms qualifying as veteran-owned small businesses will receive partial credit, and firms qualifying as service-disabled veteran -owned small businesses will receive full credit for the Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status evaluation factor. VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS AND SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS STATUS (Factor 4) will be evaluated as follows: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Veteran-Owned Small BusinessSmall Business 1 ½0 Offerors proposing to use VOSB or SDVOSB as subcontractors will receive more favorable consideration under the proposed Use of Veteran-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Subcontractors evaluation vector.
