Data Security, Inc.

Data Security, Inc., a for-profit small business manufacturer headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, supplies NSA-approved data destruction equipment—solid state media disintegrators, degaussers, media crackers, and shredders—to federal agencies and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and competes predominantly in full-and-open settings without SBA set-aside designations, though approximately 40% of recent prime awards carry Total Small Business or competitive 8(a)-equivalent set-asides.

The company's federal footprint spans 257 distinct customer agencies with 1,930 total prime and sub awards since 1988, though activity has moderated in recent years (81 awards in 2022 declining to 7 awarded through mid-2026). Over 99% of awards are primes rather than subs. Customer concentration is diffuse: the top five agencies by award count—the Air Force, Naval Sea Systems Command, Army, Air Combat Command, and Marine Corps—collectively represent only 23% of awards, while GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 55% of combined potential value at $65 million across 19 awards. By potential value, Air National Guard, Air Combat Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command follow GSA, each carrying $2.7 million to $5.2 million in current exposure. The company's core product lines map to two dominant NAICS categories: Carbon Paper and Inked Ribbon Manufacturing (845 awards, likely a taxonomy misclassification) and Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance (357 awards), with meaningful secondary exposure in miscellaneous electrical equipment and computer storage device manufacturing (38 awards under NAICS 334112).

Data Security operates almost exclusively through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule—1,158 of 1,890 traceable parent vehicle task orders flow through MAS—at firm fixed prices ranging from $695 to $762,740 per award. Recent representative prime work includes a $762,740 Defense Logistics Agency delivery order for degaussers and destruction equipment (September 2024); a $264,716 Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management order for degausser drive destruction devices (September 2023); and a $129,018 Internal Revenue Service delivery order for SSMD-2MM solid state media disintegrators (September 2023). The vendor also holds smaller single-award and BPA relationships: an Air Education and Training Command definitive contract for extended warranties on destruction systems runs through March 2029 at $36,465; a Defense Threat Reduction Agency five-year preventative maintenance contract for SSMD-2MM, LM-1, and DX-8 devices extends to September 2030 at $91,825.

Subcontract footprint is minimal (19 sub awards, 1% of portfolio). Named prime contractors include HII Mission Technologies Corp (Air National Guard operational training support, April 2025 and October 2025); Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC (Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support, June 2025); Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations LLC (Strategic Petroleum Reserve facilities management, May 2025); CACI Inc. Federal (enterprise IT expertise, November 2024); and Serco Inc. (Integrated Undersea Surveillance System logistics support, October 2024). These relationships position Data Security as a specialized supplier of data destruction components and equipment to larger defense prime contractors executing enterprise IT and national security missions.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: only 10 awards totaling $540 thousand face completion, suggesting limited near-term cliff risk. The vendor's award concentration by PSC reflects mission-critical posture: Miscellaneous Office Machines (414 awards), Information Technology Support Equipment (302 awards), and Degaussing and Mine Sweeping Equipment (79 awards) dominate, underscoring deep penetration into DoD and civilian agency information security workflows. Data Security competes in full-and-open markets and does not pursue or hold agency-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or set-aside-exclusive vehicles beyond the baseline MAS platform. The company's federal revenue base appears stable but maturing, with obligated dollars at $87.3 million (61% of $144.1 million combined potential value), suggesting consistent invoicing against standing delivery orders rather than new aggressive expansion.
