NIGP 92050: Shredding Services, Computer Components and Peripherals

NIGP 92050 Shredding Services, Computer Components and Peripherals is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit secure destruction of paper documents, hard drives, optical media, magnetic tapes, and other data storage devices across administrative, judicial, educational, and public safety operations. Recent solicitations emphasize compliance with industry destruction standards (DIN 66399, NIST SP 800-88, DOD 5220.22-M), chain-of-custody documentation, and regulatory adherence (HIPAA, California Disposal Laws, Georgia E-Verify requirements). Issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, municipal courts, and specialized departments; school systems and county purchasing offices appear most frequently in recent postings. Work ranges from recurring monthly on-site bin pickups to bulk asset disposition following technology refreshes, with destruction standards typically mandating cross-cut shredding to quarter-inch fragments or smaller and hard-drive physical destruction where applicable. Vendors commonly must hold NAID AAA or i-SIGMA certification, demonstrate five or more years of public-sector or educational experience, and maintain comprehensive liability insurance ($1–2 million per occurrence).
