S -- DESTRUCTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION POC Christine Nagengast tel: (410) 965-9520 CNT NONE The Social Security Administration is seeking sources within a 50 mile radius of SSA capable of providing ongoing destruction services for Social Security cards. Destruction requirements will vary from a minimum of 24,000 pounds to a maximum of 62,500 pounds per year. Incineration, disintegration or shredding not to exceed 1/8 inch strips will be required. (NOTE: Wet pulping is not acceptable as experience has indicated that the paper will not break down sufficiently.) Proof of insurance and an employee dishonesty bond will be required. The facility must have restricted access with an effective perimeter alarm system consisting of alarms on all entrances/exits or other openings. In addition, if same day destruction cannot be accomplished, the facility must have a secure area within the organization with an interior alarm system consisting of motion detectors or other sensing devices. Both exterior and interior alarm systems must be connected to a central monitoring station for prompt response by police. The facility must be prepared to submit to a government security inspection, to submit the organization's security control plan for review by the government, to undergo an employee suitability determination conducted under the procedures of the SSA suitability determination program, and to provide a certificate of destruction. No cost or pricing data is required or requested. It is anticipated that this will be a small purchase. This is not a Request For Proposal and the government does not intend to pay for the information solicited or received. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation of the source data received, but sources deemed qualified will be solicited when requests for quotations are issued. Any interested organization can submit information with regard to their services to the Social Security Administration, ATTN: Christine Nagengast, 1710 Gwynn Oak Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21207.
