This document appears to be a pre-solicitation for the sale of reusable sodium nitrate and steel drums from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal.

The key details are:

• The items for sale are M814 and M605 Document Destroyers, which are emergency incendiary drums used for rapid destruction of materials. Each drum contains approximately 190 lbs. of sodium nitrate as the primary oxidizer.
• The current inventory is 2,133 M814 Document Destroyers and 735 M605 Document Destroyers, for a total of approximately 544,920 lbs. of sodium nitrate.
• Before sale, the drums will be partially disassembled by ANMC personnel to remove the igniter and fuse. The sodium nitrate and fiberboard inner drum will remain.
• Interested parties must coordinate a site visit at the Anniston Munitions Center during the date range of 07/2024 - 12/2024, with a minimum of two weeks' advance notice.
• ANMC is seeking buyers who would purchase these items for reuse/recycling, as they do not have the resources to reclaim or recycle the sodium nitrate and steel drums.
