MSS Deployable Shelter

The United States Marine Corps (USMC), specifically the Product Manager Maintenance & Support Systems (PdM MSS), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to explore market solutions for 20-foot Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) certified, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) format structures. These structures must be capable of Temporary/Tactical Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (T-SCIF) and Temporary/Tactical Special Access Program Facility (T-SAPF) accreditation, with proven instances of temporary accreditation according to ICD-705 v1.5.1 and DONSAPCO 0459-23 compliant shelters. The RFI aims to gather information to inform the Government's acquisition strategy. Responses, due by April 9, 2026, must include a white paper and a completed questionnaire, addressing administrative information, product/service qualitative information (e.g., certifications, scalability, transportability, durability, security protocols, support, cost, technical approach to physical, acoustic, and RF attenuation requirements), and a security specification questionnaire. A Draft Performance Specification (PSPEC) is available upon request after submitting a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to contract.

The United States Marine Corps (USMC), through its Program Manager Combat Support Systems (PM CSS) and Product Manager Maintenance and Support Systems (PdM MSS), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) M67854-26-I-5108. The RFI seeks market information on proven, 20-foot Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) certified, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) format structures capable of Temporary/Tactical Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (T-SCIF) and Temporary/Tactical Special Access Program Facility (T-SAPF) accreditation. Responses will help determine the government's acquisition strategy. Interested parties must submit a white paper and a completed questionnaire by April 9, 2026. The white paper should include administrative and qualitative information on products and services, addressing compliance, scalability, integration, transportability, durability, training, manufacturing readiness, security protocols, support, maintenance, cost, delivery, and technical approaches to physical, acoustic, and RF attenuation requirements. A draft Performance Specification (PSPEC) is available upon request after signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Questions must be submitted by March 20, 2026.

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a binding document for individuals granted access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This agreement outlines the responsibilities of federal officials, employees, consultants, and subcontractors to protect CUI, which is government-created or possessed information requiring safeguarding under law, regulation, or government-wide policy. The NDA differentiates between CUI Basic and CUI Specified, based on the level of prescribed controls. Signatories agree to non-disclosure, proper handling, training compliance, security, and timely reporting of breaches. Violations can lead to access cancellation, civil, and criminal sanctions. This document is crucial for ensuring the secure handling of sensitive unclassified government information within the scope of federal contracts and engagements.

Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a secure, dual-accreditable, deployable workspace solution to support sensitive operations in diverse and austere environments. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks solutions that offer a high degree of physical security, acoustic and electronic signal protection (to SCIF and SAP standards), and logistical flexibility. Interested parties must complete a 'Security' checklist (Tab B) to evaluate their compliance with listed requirements. The RFI emphasizes strict adherence to various reference documents, including ICD-705 SCIFs, DoDM 5205.07, and CNSSAM TEMPEST 1-13, ensuring compliance with construction, management, and security protocols for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and Special Access Programs (SAPs). Key requirements include the handling of construction plans, monitoring of shelters in transit by U.S. SECRET cleared individuals, and the use of U.S. companies and citizens for SCIF construction to mitigate risk. Vendors must also conform to TEMPEST countermeasures, with safeguards pre-engineered into platforms where possible. The information gathered will be used for planning purposes.
