This is a sources-sought announcement issued by the Department of Defense through the FA3016 502 Cons Cl office at JBSA Lackland, Texas, to identify potential vendors capable of supplying an enclosed destruction cart system that meets strict NSA-certified data destruction requirements. The cart must integrate a TS-1XT Gauss Degausser, a PD-5 NSA-listed hard drive destroyer, an SSD-1 solid-state destroyer, and an IRONCLAD erasure and destruction verification system, all operating in a fully isolated environment without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or any network connectivity. Response submissions by 2:00 PM CST on May 5, 2026, must include company name, address, phone number, point of contact, CAGE code, MAS status, company size classification, ownership details, product literature, and a certified written statement affirming full compliance with all specified technical and security criteria. The government explicitly states this notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation, promise of future procurement, or commitment to award a contract. All responses become government property, respondents bear all associated costs, and no claims may be made against the government based on participation. The required equipment must meet NSA standards for Top Secret data destruction, ensuring irreversible erasure through a minimum 20,000 Gauss degaussing field and 20,000 lbs of physical destruction force, with automatic generation of unalterable certificates and photographic evidence of each destruction event. Place of performance is DWG, Texas, with no specifications provided for packaging, preservation, marking, delivery terms, or invoicing, and no contract value, pricing data, or formal award evaluation factors are outlined. While no formal FAR clauses or MIL-STD requirements are listed, compliance with NSA certification and the mandatory verification system will serve as the sole basis for any future solicitation, which is expected to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach.
