P -- NICKEL RECYCLING POC Tina B. McGuire, Contracting Officer, 202-874-3143 1. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), an element of the United States Department of the Treasury, located at 14th and C Streets SW, Washington, D.C. desires to recover and recycle the nickel from which United States Currency Printing Plates are made. Destruction of Currency Printing Plates is a two-fold process: First each currency plate is shredded at the BEP. Second the engraved images on each shred are destroyed, and the Nickel is recovered so that it can be recycled. This effort addresses the second part of the destruction process (i.e. Secure and Conclusive (absolute) Destruction of all engraved images that are on the currency plate shreds, recovery, and recycling of the nickel ). The BEP anticipates receiving the fair market value of the nickel, less reasonable recycling costs. The service sought herein shall be accomplished in full compliance with BEP and Department of the Treasury Security regulations. All interested parties may submit capabilities statements to Tina B. McGuire at the address above no later than December 31, 1998.***** Posted 11/23/98 (W-SN274091). (0327)
