Amendment 2

The contract is a firm-fixed-price solicitation issued by the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants under solicitation number 28321326Q00000270, set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 561990, with a size standard of $21.5 million in annual receipts. The scope entails providing secure, onsite destruction of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) documents and recycling services for non-sensitive materials, including single-stream and cardboard recycling, at SSA’s Main Complex and Perimeter East Building in Baltimore, Maryland. Services occur biweekly for PII destruction and on Tuesdays and Fridays for recycling, with contractors responsible for delivering, maintaining, repairing, and replacing specialized lockable containers meeting strict specifications—minimum 0.125-inch polyethylene construction, polyurethane casters, and distinct color coding to separate PII from recycling units. All containers must remain locked except during authorized service, and keys must be provided to SSA personnel, with replacements and repairs conducted at no additional cost to the government. The contract includes a base performance period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with four optional one-year periods and a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, though no pricing details are available in the submitted documentation, rendering the contract value undetermined. All contractor personnel must comply with security and suitability requirements as outlined in FAR clause 2352.204-1 and undergo personal identity verification per FAR 52.204-9, while the contractor must maintain a current point of contact list and respond to unscheduled requests within one business day. Services are not performed on federal holidays unless authorized. The contractor must submit monthly documentation, including Certificates of Destruction, and ensure all materials are screened for contaminants prior to destruction. Evaluation will be based on the most advantageous offer, considering both price and non-price factors, without a defined trade-off methodology or minimum technical acceptability threshold. The solicitation requires compliance with multiple FAR clauses related to labor standards, whistleblower rights, equal opportunity, employment eligibility, trafficking in persons, and system for award management maintenance, along with adherence to specific container and operational requirements detailed in attachments covering pricing, pickup locations, collection schedules, and estimated volumes. Proposals must be submitted via FedConnect or email to Katherine Medeiros by August 7, 2026,
