Obsolescence and End-of-Life Management

The contract titled Obsolescence and End-of-Life Management requires the secure handling, data sanitization in accordance with NIST SP 800-88 standards, and environmentally compliant disposal or recycling of legacy or decommissioned network equipment. All activities must ensure the complete eradication of sensitive data to prevent unauthorized access and must adhere to federal and state environmental regulations governing the destruction and recycling of electronic waste. The contractor is responsible for implementing verified procedures that guarantee both data security and ecological responsibility throughout the entire lifecycle of the equipment. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Texas Department of Transportation with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, and a posted date of July 31, 2026. The NAICS code 562920 classifies the work under Other Remediation Services, indicating a focus on specialized end-of-life management rather than general waste collection. Performance is expected to be carried out in Texas, though specific locations are not designated. Interested parties must prepare proposals that demonstrate compliance with data sanitization protocols and environmental standards, and submit them before the deadline through the designated platform.
