E-Waste Disposal & Certified Data Destruction

The Jersey City Public School District is issuing a solicitation for a single, certified electronics recycler to handle the end‑of‑life disposition of its surplus technology assets. The vendor must provide a full‑service solution that includes on‑site pickup, secure data sanitization or physical destruction in accordance with NIST 800‑88, chain‑of‑custody tracking, recycling of hardware per R2/e‑Stewards standards, and issuance of certificates of data destruction and recycling. The contractor will also be required to assess any salvageable components for resale or refurbishment and provide a net financial settlement that combines any asset credit with service fees.
