- Description
- Questions and Answers 1-8-2024 Reviewing the mod that was posted to SAM for the shredding solicitation. The question was asked about non-paper media. The answer was that there would not be any. The revised SOW that was posted still reflects the need to shred non-paper media. Can this be removed from the solicitation as it does not pertain to the requirement? The SOW will remain as is in the solicitation but regarding our response to the questions and Amendment 0001 that non-paper media (for example paperclips, staples, CD etc ) that was answered, we do not have a lot of those items however if we do they need to be destroyed appropriately and in accordance with the regulations. Additionally, if the guiding directive for this contract is VA Directive 6371 dated April 8, 2014, Destruction of Temporary Paper Records, The Prime nor the subcontractor is required to be NAID certified to perform work. They are to adhere to the standards and ensure the minimum standards for Interim and Final destruction processes are met. That directive eliminated the requirement for NAID Certification. Can the SOW be updated in that section (highlighted yellow) to reflect the verbiage of the directive? (see below) Please refer to VA Directive 6371 Appendix A page A-2 If interim destruction is reasonably practicable and is not carried out by VA employees, it must be carried out by either: a. A National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certified, bonded, and insured contractor (and its subcontractors or third parties) for paper/printed media destruction who has contracted to provide sufficient reasonable safeguards to protect the temporary paper records until final destruction has been completed; or b. A non-NAID-certified contractor (and its subcontractors or third parties) who can satisfy the standards outlined in this Appendix.
