    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the sale of e-recycling demilitarization/mutilation scrap electronics residue. This IFB, numbered 33-4012, calls for sealed bids for processing electronic scrap from controlled and non-controlled military grade, as well as commercial grade equipment.

Additional terms cover the necessity for compliance with national security requirements, environmental regulations, and the provision of suitable facilities for operations.

Key sections define terminology and outline the procurement prohibitions, including exceptions for specific services that do not involve routing user data. Additionally, offerors are required to disclose detailed information about provided covered equipment and services, if applicable. This provision aims to mitigate risks associated with national security and integrity of telecommunications services in federal contracts, ensuring compliance with federal guidelines during the solicitation and contracting processes.
