About this opportunity
The 99th Contracting Squadron, part of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for 57 FW Destruction Services. This procurement involves the complete destruction and smelting of government system components and associated IT equipment at Nellis Air Force Base. The contracting squadron intends to utilize the sole source authority under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), citing that only one source is capable of providing the required services at the necessary quality level due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the work. The notice is set aside for total small business participation and falls under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services. The requirement specifically addresses the Department of Defense's need to avoid accumulating unused or obsolete Special Access Program (SAP) IT devices through secure destruction services.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to determine whether competitive procurement is feasible or if proceeding with sole source acquisition is appropriate, given the strict security requirements for transporting and destroying classified items. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by July 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, including technical data and cost information that demonstrates their ability to meet the specialized requirements. Submissions must be sent via email as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachments totaling less than 10 MB to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Only businesses capable of meeting Department of the Air Force level requirements for SAP IT security are eligible to participate. The government has indicated that HVF Precious Metals LLC is currently positioned as the intended sole source vendor, being the closest registered small business among only four entities approved to perform these highly sensitive destruction services.
