About the company
Security Engineered Machinery Co., Inc., doing business as SEM, manufactures NSA-listed paper shredders, hard drive shredders, optical media shredders, magnetic erasers, and disintegrator systems for secure destruction of classified materials and sensitive government documents, operating as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and holding single-award blanket purchase agreements with the Department of the Army and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. SEM is a Westborough, Massachusetts-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and Veteran Owned Business that competes full-and-open across its federal footprint without socioeconomic set-aside designations on its primary vehicle.
SEM's federal footprint is dominated by GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) activity. The company has received 7,154 total awards—6,113 task orders under the GSA MAS parent vehicle alone, which accounts for $536.7 million in combined potential value. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service is by far the largest customer, with 935 awards and $149.8 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (363 awards, $10.7 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (334 awards, $4.5 million), and the Department of the Army (565 awards, $3.8 million). The top five customers by award count account for 35% of all awards. SEM's work on the GSA MAS comprises individual blanket purchase agreement calls and delivery orders for shredders and related equipment, with order values typically ranging from $2,700 to $481,200, though recent larger orders show demand for complete disintegrator systems and facility maintenance packages.
Beyond the GSA schedule vehicle, SEM holds a $24 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service for NSA/CSS EPL equipment (effective through September 6, 2028); a $231,625.91 single-award BPA with the Department of the Army Southeast Region for maintenance, repairs, and replacement parts for SEM Model 2238 and Model SSD2-H2 disintegrator/shredder equipment at Fort Bragg (through June 30, 2030); and a small-business-set-aside $105,618.80 BPA with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division for high-security shredding machines and maintenance services (through May 8, 2028). Representative named work includes a $481,185 delivery order from the Federal Acquisition Service for a shredding machine in July 2026, a $153,119.51 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in May 2026 for a 12-month preventative maintenance plan covering SEM Model 23/5 and Model 22 equipment (base year plus three option years through May 31, 2031), a $251,238.47 Army Training and Doctrine Command contract for maintenance of destruction equipment at Fort Rucker, Alabama (through March 31, 2033), and a $26,287.30 FBI total-small-business-set-aside BPA call for disintegrators and maintenance in May 2026 (through May 8, 2027).
Award activity has remained steady, ranging from 181 awards in 2022 to a high of 229 in 2024, with 208 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff shows only 72 awards with ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $2 million—a modest exposure relative to SEM's overall footprint, though the Fort Bragg maintenance contract (valued at $231.6 thousand and extending through June 2030) and the Army Training and Doctrine Command contract represent longer-term commitments worth monitoring for renewal activity.
SCI-reported service contract activity is minimal: the dataset shows 1 SCI record (as a named subcontractor, not as a prime), corresponding to 0.1 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting SEM's primary business model as an equipment manufacturer and goods supplier rather than as a labor-hour service provider. SEM operates as a 100% prime contractor on its federal awards (7,149 of 7,154 awards); the five sub-awards on record are for shredder components supplied to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC under its management of the National Security Campus. The $681.2 million in combined potential value and $125.1 million in combined obligated dollars across all awards underscore SEM's established market position in federal destruction equipment procurement, concentrated in manufacturing and sales of specialized security equipment rather than service delivery.
