The Department of Veterans Affairs' VA Boston Healthcare System is soliciting on-site mobile paper shredding and destruction services for the Bedford VA Medical Center under VISN 1, with offers due December 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST and questions due November 16, 2026. No set-aside is used, so the requirement is open to all qualified offerors under NAICS 561990 and PSC R614.

Service covers Bedford VAMC and four associated Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, with Haverhill, Gloucester, and Lynn, Massachusetts named as locations. The contractor must perform shredding on-site with mobile equipment, reducing material to no larger than 1 x 5 millimeters or pulverizing it through a disintegrator with a 3/32-inch security screen, in accordance with NIST Special Publication 800-88, VA Directive 6371, and VHA Handbook 1907.01. Personnel must be bonded and HIPAA-compliant, the contractor must execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and background investigations apply to contractor personnel. Certificates of destruction are due within 48 hours of each pickup, and containers and totes are furnished at no charge.

Quantities are bi-weekly pickups of 12 sixty-five-gallon rollout containers and 115 thirty-two-gallon front-feed lockable consoles at Bedford, plus monthly pickups of one console at each named CBOC. The base period runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with four one-year options extending through December 31, 2031. The action is a firm fixed-price purchase order for commercial services under SF 1449. Invoices are submitted monthly in arrears and paid by electronic funds transfer under VA Directive 852.232-72. Applicable wage determinations apply. Contracting officer Jeffrey S. Fleming, located in Brockton, Massachusetts, is the point of contact.
