    The Department of the Air Force's 375th Civil Engineer Squadron at Scott Air Force Base is soliciting bids for a Qualified Recycling Program event scheduled for January 20, 2026. The bid, numbered 01-Q126, opened on December 19, 2025, and will close on January 7, 2026, with an award date of January 9, 2026. The event requires services for on-site paper shredding, with options for single or multi-step destruction, and e-waste recycling. The e-waste component specifies the acceptance of a broad range of materials including computers, monitors, various appliances, and batteries, with a section to indicate additional costs for certain items or services like refrigerant recovery. Bidders must provide contact information, SAM number, and authorized agent's signature.
    The document outlines a simple event plan, detailing an
    CUI Notice 2019-03 provides guidance for destroying Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in paper form, superseding CUI Notice 2017-02. This notice clarifies requirements for destroying paper CUI, emphasizing methods that render it unreadable, indecipherable, and irrecoverable, as mandated by 32 CFR 2002.14(f)(2) and NIST SP 800-88, Revision 1. For single-step destruction, agencies must use cross-cut shredders producing 1mm x 5mm particles or pulverizers with a 3/32 inch security screen. A multi-step process is also permitted, involving initial shredding followed by recycling into new paper or further destruction, provided the method is verified and satisfactory to the agency. The notice addresses concerns regarding the cost and recyclability of paper after destruction. Physical security standards for CUI must be maintained until destruction, and agencies may consolidate CUI in controlled environments prior to destruction, with tracking procedures in place.
    The Department of the Air Force's 375th Civil Engineer Squadron (AMC) at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, is inviting bids for paper shredding and/or electronics recycling services for its Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) event. The event is scheduled for January 20, 2026, from 0900 to 1500, with a makeup date of January 30, 2026, at Warrior Park parking lot. Bids are open from December 19, 2025, to January 7, 2026, with the award on January 9, 2026. The bid specifies on-site paper shredding and electronics recycling, with detailed requirements for paper destruction following CUI guidelines.

Payments for commodities are due within 30 days of invoice, or invoices for services are due within 20 days.
