About this opportunity
The Norfolk Naval Shipyard is seeking contractor support for destruction center operations through a sources sought notice issued by Naval Sea Systems Command. The primary services required include collection and bulk destruction/shredding of burn bag contents containing classified and controlled unclassified information at the facility in Portsmouth, Virginia. The contractor must provide five personnel (including a designated Lead) to operate the destruction center Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1530 hours, utilizing industrial disintegrators, conveyor systems, compactors, degaussers, and NSA-approved office shredders. All contractor employees must maintain Secret-level security clearances with Restricted Data access, possess valid driver's licenses, be U.S. Citizens eligible for Red NAVSEA Badges, and be capable of lifting up to 50 pounds repeatedly and traversing 20-foot vertical ladders. The Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed-Price contract under FAR Part 13 procedures. Interested parties must submit responses by April 2, 2026; however, this is sources sought market research only and will not result in immediate contract award or compensation for submitted information.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and involves no identified incumbent contractor information. The contract period of performance is one year with four optional flex years, indicating a potential five-year engagement. While no specific budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the requirement for five full-time equivalent personnel operating specialized industrial equipment suggests a moderate contract value. The Statement of Work specifies that the contractor must provide OSHA-approved fall protection equipment and training, maintain compliance with federal and state OSHA requirements, and adhere to Norfolk Naval Shipyard safety protocols and hazardous energy control procedures. NNSY will furnish all office equipment, supplies, hearing protection, and training on disintegrator systems and classified information handling procedures. Prospective contractors are encouraged to provide information regarding relevant past performance, facility clearance levels, security certifications, and capability to perform the full scope of work as part of the market research response.
