About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Alliance for Energy Innovation on behalf of the National Laboratory of the Rockies to identify a qualified single vendor capable of providing destruction services for paper records containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), with responses due July 24, 2026.
Destruction must comply with DOE and NARA requirements, rendering information unreadable, indecipherable, and irrecoverable. Approved methods include cross-cut shredders producing 1 millimeter by 5 millimeter particles or smaller, or pulverizing equipment using 3/32-inch security screens; destruction equipment must meet CUI standards and include NSA EPL-listed equipment where applicable. Standard confidential shred processes, trash, and recycling are excluded. Vendors must demonstrate capability to escort CUI paper, store received materials securely in locked areas pending destruction, and employ only DOE-compliant single-step or multi-step destruction methods.
Respondents must submit three-page technical responses (plus cover page) addressing company information, relevant government experience, technical solution approach, and rough order of magnitude pricing estimates to ASP.Responses@nlr.gov. The anticipated NAICS code is 561990 (All Other Support Services). This Sources Sought Notice is for market research only and does not constitute a formal bid opportunity or guarantee of future contract award; responses may inform determination of small business set-aside eligibility for subsequent solicitations.
Notice text
This is a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) issued by the Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC (Alliance). The purpose of this SSN is to conduct market research and gather information on the current capabilities of potential sources to provide destruction services for paper records containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
DOE requirements state that destruction of CUI, including paper records, must follow a NARA-approved records schedule and be completed in a way that makes the information unreadable, indecipherable, and irrecoverable. NLR procedure states that paper containing CUI must be accumulated and protected, then destroyed using a shredder approved for CUI destruction or other approved method. Received CUI pending destruction must be protected in a locked area until destruction occurs. This SSN is intended to identify a qualified single vendor capable of meeting these DOE/NLR CUI paper destruction requirements.
