- RMD1200151 - SOURCES SOUGHT - DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION OF CLASSIFIED RECORDS - FSC: R699 - NAICS: 562910 Issue Date: 09/25/2012 Closing Date: 10/10/2012 - 2:00 PM EST This solicitation is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov/ MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: The Records Management Division (RMD), of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking information for market research purposes relative to the destruction and restoration of classified records. A Request for Information (RFI) is being sought regarding services for the destruction of approximately 9200 boxes (1.2 cu ft) of records which have been damaged by flood water and mud. The frozen mud from the flood waters coats the inside/outside of the boxes to differing degrees. This mud has been tested and has been found to contain some contaminants. It may be advisable for contractor personnel to consider wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the records. The respective records were placed in freezer pods and trailers within 72 hours of the flooding to prevent/retard mold growth. At this time the records remain frozen. The boxes predominantly include textual material bound by a variety of metal fasteners, but also include non-textual materials, including CDs, VHS tapes, reel to reel tape, film canisters and x-rays, etc. The FBI's normal methods of file destruction have not been successful on these records. The wet and/or frozen records may jam shredders, even when thawed. Incineration attempts were not entirely successful. Some records survived the incineration process. The FBI now requires professional/expert services to destroy and properly dispose of the boxes of records. The records include classified material up to and including the Secret level. The destruction must be complete and preclude recognition and/or reconstruction. In addition to the destruction of files, the RMD also seeks a Request for Information (RFI) for records restoration services. Approximately 700 boxes of the flood damaged files, also require restoration. These boxes are also frozen. The FBI requites a records restoration company to restore the files and return them to the FBI for future use. The FBI is open to having the services provided onsite in Alexandria Virginia. An adjacent parking lot would be used to house mobile equipment. The destruction and restoration of the files at on off-site location is also permissible. The contractor must have employees that are already cleared at the SECRET level, or alternatively have employees that are able to obtain a SECRET clearance. Personnel, facilities, and procedures must meet the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), available at http://www.dss.mil. The FBI would like to gather information from interested and qualified contractors capable of either performing destruction and/or restoration services. All interested parties are requested to provide detailed information to include, but not be limited to: restoration and/or destruction methodology and process, restoration/destruction location, capabilities, business size and existence of security levels for staff and facility. The synopsis/submittal (white paper) shall be no larger than 25 pages, excluding supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues and manuals. Interested sources should submit their respective white paper electronically or in hard copy to the Point of Contact listed below: Renee Braun, 170 Marcel Drive, Winchester, VA 22602 - renee.braun@ic.fbi.gov Responses from Small and Small Disadvantaged Business firms are highly encouraged.
