About this file
This single source justification document outlines the requirement for a solid state media disintegrator to satisfy the National Security Agency's approved introduction into classified processing areas. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center requires a single-piece device with a footprint of under 50" x 50" that can destroy SIM cards, flash drives, circuit boards, solid state drives, cell phones, tablets, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs up to the TS/SCI classification level. Through market research, the Data Security Inc. SSMD-2mm device was identified as the only disintegrator that meets all mandatory requirements, including its integrated form factor, evaluated destruction capability, and manufacturing in the United States. While other products were identified on GSA schedules, they did not satisfy one or more requirements around location of manufacturing, size, or being a single integrated unit. The contracting officer determined on September 8, 2023 that only a single source was reasonably available to fulfill agency's needs based on the unique requirements outlined.
