74 -- Shredding/disintegrator equipment and on/off site shredding services

The USPS Office Products and Equipment Category Management Team is organizing two informational sessions on December 19, 2006, to engage potential suppliers regarding shredding equipment and services. The morning session at 9:30 AM will focus on shredding and disintegrator equipment, while the afternoon session at 1:30 PM will cover on-site and off-site shredding services. Both will take place at the USPS Office Products & Utilities CMC in Windsor, CT. This initiative comes as USPS considers moving from multiple sources to national contracts for these products and services, expected to be solicited in early 2007. During the sessions, USPS will share historical purchasing data and outline its expectations for future suppliers. Suppliers interested in attending must reserve their spot by December 15, 2006, via email, limiting attendance to two representatives per company. Reservation details should include attendee names, contact information, company details, and session preference. Additionally, suppliers are encouraged to submit questions or discussion topics in advance. Key contacts for the procurement include Wayne C. Appold, Purchasing Specialist, and Joseph H. Joaquim, Purchasing & Supply Management Specialist, both reachable by email and phone. The contract is identified under solicitation number PR0001 and relates to NAICS code 423420, covering shredding/disintegrator equipment and shredding services.
