Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 502 CONS CL office at JBSA Lackland, TX, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought announcement for an Enclosed Destruction Cart. This is not a solicitation, but an effort to identify potential sources capable of providing a self-contained, mobile system for the verifiable destruction of sensitive and classified data. Responses are due by 2:00 PM CST on May 5, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The primary objective is to procure a system capable of complete and verifiable destruction of sensitive and classified data on various storage media (hard disk drives, solid-state drives) to the highest security standards (e.g., NSA for Top Secret). The system must ensure irreversible data elimination with an auditable chain-of-custody.
Key requirements include:
- NSA certification for data destruction.
- Capability for both degaussing magnetic media and physically destroying solid-state media.
- An integrated verification system that automatically documents the process and generates an unalterable certificate of destruction, including photographic evidence.
- Isolation with no network connectivity (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) for secure environments.
Key Requirements (Components)
The solution must include:
- A Cart
- TS-1XT Gauss Degausser or equal
- PD-5 NSA Listed Hard Drive Destroyer or equal
- SSD-1 Solid State Destroyer or equal
- IRONCLAD Erasure and Destruction Verification or equal
Response Information
Interested parties must submit their company name, address, phone number, point of contact, CAGE code, MAS, company size status, and whether they are a U.S. or foreign-owned firm. Responses must also include product literature and a written statement confirming compliance with all attached specifications. Submitting a statement certifies the ability to meet all criteria. This is for market research only; the Government will not pay for response costs, and submissions do not guarantee a future solicitation or contract.
