Description

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.
