Award 19AQMM26F1639

Background
This justification and approval (J&A) is issued by the agency. The award was granted to AGSI, LLC on September 29, 2026. The purpose of this contract is to enable ESOC West to destroy sensitive and classified hard drives in-house while adhering to NSA guidance.

Work Details
The contract involves the provision of destruction systems that meet NSA/CSS compliance for sanitization standards for both classified SSDs and magnetic HDDs. The required configuration includes an NSA-evaluated SSD disintegrator and an NSA-evaluated HDD degausser integrated into a single package. Specifically, the MDS solution provides the Kobra SSD disintegrator and the TS-1XT degausser in a fully compliant configuration. Additionally, the IRONCLAD dual-stream verification platform, proprietary to MDS, is necessary for complete automated destruction tracking and documentation for SSD and HDD workflows. No equivalent verification system exists that meets NSA auditability requirements or integrates with NSA-approved destruction devices.

Period of Performance
The estimated value for the entire period of performance is implied to be aligned with the award date of September 29, 2026.

Place of Performance
Washington DC UNITED STATES

Bidder Requirements
Only certified resellers of the specified brand-name items are eligible to bid. The justification emphasizes that only components from the manufacturer satisfy minimum needs due to compatibility with existing infrastructure and compliance with NSA standards.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on the closely related prior contract GS35F0622T-19AQMM26F1639, awarded to AGSI Systems with a value of $120,263 for the period 09/30/26–12/30/26. The prior award and the current J&A both focus on providing NSA/CSS-compliant in-house destruction capabilities for sensitive/classified storage media, including integrated SSD disintegration and HDD degaussing with required verification/documentation workflows. The overlap in required destruction systems and compliance-driven configuration suggests the current effort may be a continuation or follow-on within the same destruction program.
