FY17-HEPRA-Shredding Services

The District of Columbia is seeking procurement for shredding services under the fiscal year 2017 HEPRA (Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Administration) contract, designated with the opportunity ID 66c85a14829eb5d8690723c0. This contract appears to focus on document destruction services, likely for secure and compliant handling of sensitive governmental records. The procurement was initially posted on February 13, 2017, with an extremely tight turnaround time, as the response was due just one day later on February 14, 2017. While specific details about the exact scope of shredding services are limited in the provided information, typical municipal shredding contracts usually involve on-site or off-site document destruction, secure chain of custody, recycling compliance, and detailed documentation of destroyed materials. The brevity of the posting period suggests this may have been an urgent or expedited procurement process requiring immediate vendor response.

No specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the provided contract details. The extremely short window between posting and response deadline (only 24 hours) might have implications for potential bidder participation, potentially limiting competition or favoring vendors already prepared and familiar with District of Columbia procurement processes. Without additional context, it is not possible to definitively state the exact budget range or potential contract value for these shredding services. The contract is associated with the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Administration, which suggests the shredding services may be related to sensitive healthcare or emergency management documentation. Interested vendors would typically need to demonstrate capabilities in secure document destruction, compliance with relevant privacy regulations, and the ability to respond quickly to governmental procurement timelines.
