Should you respond?

Usually yes, if you could do this work. The agency is asking who could do it before it writes the solicitation. A short reply (who you are, similar work you've done, how you'd approach it) costs nothing, and enough small businesses replying can get the work set aside for them.

MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND (MSC) Sources Sought N102D-SS27-SHRED 27 October 2026 Subject: SHRED SERVICES IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA DESCRIPTION: This is a market survey for acquisition planning purposes, and no formal solicitation exists at this time. MSC is soliciting input to determine the technical, administrative, management and financial capability of potential offerors to perform this kind of work. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, materials, supervision, and transportation necessary to perform on-site collection and destruction services for MSC facilities located On Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Other locations in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area may be added upon contract modification. All shredding shall be to NSA standards. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) requires the secure and recurring destruction of non-record, classified/unclassified material marked up to and including SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, and CUI / FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO). Classified and other sensitive materials include paper documents, digital media (e.g., CDs and DVDs), hard drives, and cell phones. This requirement does not include Top Secret material. The objective is to ensure all materials are destroyed in a manner that renders them completely unrecoverable in accordance with applicable security requirements. The Contractor shall service all designated collection points listed in the PWS. All Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Certified Woman Owned Small Business Certified HUBZone and Certified 8(a) Small Businesses are encouraged to respond. The NAICS Code is 561990: All Other Support Services, and the Size Standard is $16.5M. There are two potential requirements that could be informed by this sources sought notice. One potential anticipated period of performance is a seven month period, with a total period of performance from 11 February 2027 – 12 August 2027. An additional potential period of performance is a one-year base period, plus four (4), one-year option periods with a total period of performance from 15 August 2027 – 14 August 2032. This information will be used by the Contracting Officer to assist in developing the procurement strategy, including whether a small business set-aside can be established, if the requirement should be sole sourced to large business, or whether small businesses and large businesses should be able to compete for work. If a small business set-aside is established, then FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies. Note that if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small businesses, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR clause 52.219-14. This is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of an award. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice. Respondents will not be notified of the results, and the U.S. Government is not required to answer any questions submitted in regards to this notice. Please note the information within this notice will be updated and/or may change prior to an official synopsis/solicitation, if any. MARKET SURVEY QUESTIONS Please see the below market survey questions and provide any feedback that you can. 1. Are the requirements in the PWS clear and unambiguous? 2. Is there any other feedback that can be provided regarding the draft PWS? GENERAL INFORMATION In addition to the questions above, interested parties shall furnish the following information: 1.
