Case Study: Long-Term ITAD Partnership with a Government Entity

By Max Selley | May 6, 2025

Overview
For nearly two decades, Re-Source Partners has maintained a trusted relationship with a major government organization. Through multiple competitive RFP cycles, our consistent performance, transparency, and strict compliance with regulatory standards have earned continued renewal of our contract.

Challenge
The agency needed a partner capable of securely and responsibly handling end-of-life IT assets, while also maximizing financial return. As a government entity, they required rigorous adherence to data security and environmental standards, as well as detailed documentation for every asset processed.

Our Solution
Re-Source Partners provides a seamless IT asset disposition (ITAD) solution that not only meets the agency’s data and environmental compliance requirements but also delivers consistent financial return based on equipment value and volume.

  • Financial Model: Rather than charging fees, our model pays the agency based on the secondary market value of their retired IT equipment. This performance-based structure ensures alignment of interests and delivers a steady return.
  • Compliance-Driven: All data-bearing devices are processed according to NIST 800-88 standards, and our recycling partner maintains R2/RIOS certification—ensuring environmentally responsible disposal.
  • Auditable Transparency: In addition to our own internal controls and third-party audits, the agency sends its own auditors quarterly. We welcome this level of oversight and consistently meet or exceed expectations.

Results

  • Sustained contract through multiple RFPs over nearly 20 years
  • Full compliance with government-level data security and environmental regulations
  • Regularly audited processes with zero non-conformities reported
  • Ongoing financial return to the agency without cost to them

Conclusion
This long-term partnership highlights our ability to serve high-compliance, high-oversight clients while delivering both financial and environmental value. Re-Source Partners continues to set the standard for responsible, secure, and profitable IT asset disposition in the public sector.
