The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking to negotiate a sole source contract with Centurion Consulting LLC for the acquisition of a new modular Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) to be installed in a residence within the National Capital Region (NCR). The SCIF must comply with stringent standards, including Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705, a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 56, and Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation Standards (TEMPEST), while also incorporating an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 2050 standards. This procurement is critical as it ensures compatibility with existing systems and facilitates rapid redeployments and reconfigurations, given that Centurion Consulting LLC is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary components and services. Interested parties who believe they can meet these requirements must submit a capability statement within 7 days of this notice to Ms. Karoline Schmal at karoline.k.schmal.civ@mail.mil, as no formal solicitation will be posted due to the sole source nature of the contract.

The Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Centurion Consulting LLC. A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated and, upon approval, a copy of it will be posted here on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR 6.305. The proposed contract action is for the acquisition of one new modular SCIF installed in a residence in the NCR. The SCIF must meet or exceed Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 standards, Sound Transmission Class (STC) 56 rating, and Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation Standards (TEMPEST), and utilize fiberglass reinforced panels (FRP). In addition, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for the SCIF must follow Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 2050 standards. Cooling, Electrical, and monitoring service activation and sustainment are also included as part of the statement of work. Furthermore, the requirement includes disassembly, transportation, storage and/or reassembly options for one of the currently deployed SCIFs in the National Capitol Region. Currently there are 4 installed residential SCIFs and one at a military base. At this time, the contractor Centurion Consulting LLC is the only source capable of providing all necessary products and services. The basis of the determination is it is imperative that the new SCIF being acquired have compatible and interchangeable components, physical connections, and monitoring services for quick and dependable redeployments, reconfigurations, and rapid reaccreditations. The Government has reviewed alternative systems and sought out alternative vendors, however, Centurion Consulting LLC is the only vendor to guarantee compatible FRP components and associated interlocking connections, which will be compatible with the existing systems. There are currently five Centurion Consulting LLC modular SCIFs deployed and active in numerous locations throughout the region. Finally, this requirement incorporates optional work for the disassembly, transportation, storage, and reassembly of the five deployed SCIFs. Centurion Consulting LLC, as the initial installation and accreditation provider, is the only company with the expertise to accomplish these tasks without damaging the components, hardware, and physical connections. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 1901 (e) (2), as implemented by FAR 13.501(a).
