Description of the supplies or services required, the estimated price/cost, and required delivery date.

The Joint Staff Security Office (JSSO) Technical Surveillance Counterintelligence Branch (TCIB) requires six SecurL Systems, an upgrade from its currently owned SecurX Systems. The SecurL upgrades cost $21,140.00 each and six would cost a total of $126,840.00. The required delivery date is as soon as possible. Compromising emanations and unauthorized signals pose a significant threat to the sensitive and classified information processed by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The JSSO TCIB team uses sophisticated tools, such as the InTech Defense LLC Electromagnetics shielded tents and corresponding SecurL systems to detect, analyze, and neutralize these technical security threats.

In conclusion, the requested supplies represent the minimum requirements of the Government.

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. (what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)

The SecurL provides a Tempest tested power and network supply to the RF shielded tents that are currently in the JSSO TCIB nventory. The SecurL system has an air pump that connects to the tents inflatable frame and detects when the frames air pressure drops below a certain value and automatically reinflates the frame. The SecurL system also provides the capability to pass network connectivity into the tent with Ethernet inputs and outputs and eliminates the need for external media converters. This also decreases the amount of weight and equipment needed during travel therefore allowing TCIB the ability to detect newer threats and maintain its current capability in support of the Chairman and Vice Chairman at all times.

The SecurL systems are compatible with the tents currently in our inventory that are not yet being replaced. No other company makes a similar system that is compatible with the tents that we have in our inventory.
