Identify Make/ Model of existing equipment:

II. Describe how the equipment must be compatible with the existing configuration.

d. OTHER:

LENEL software system and existent IDS hardware have been used at MSC since October, 2021 and widely utilized by the U.S. Navy, world-wide, for over a decade. Possessing acceptable software, and maintaining functionality via software upgrades is a vital element to maintaining SCIF NV-I 7-026 Defense Intelligence Agency facility physical accreditation, which includes MSC's secure enclave. MSC received SCIF physical accreditation in Oct 2021 and must maintain accreditation until vacating the facility at Bldg. SP-64; i.e. until SCIF decommissioning. This is projected to occur in 2029. Use of LENEL software compatible with existent generic computer processor installed will maintain system continuity. LENEL software system and devices compatible with LENEL (Bosch Control Panels) are in use throughout the region.

lrntilled &ml control panelsare uniquely designed to intemn:with LENEL oontrol signals. Bosch IDS controls and panels are currently in use throughout the MSC complex. Bosch IDS cabinets installed within the Network Spaces of the SCIF contain components/ circuitry that provide IDS control digital/ analog - analog digital signals, which are additional parts that interface with this Security System making it imperative that the fit, form, and function of the installed equipment be standardized throughout the complex. These brand name features are crucial for the MSC's existing SCIF functionality to meet all physical, TEMPEST, and technical security standards of ICD 705 Ser. for accreditation.

4. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits.

The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

a. Date on which the requirement was identified:

b. Required delivery date/ Period of Performance: _

c. If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.

d. Estimated production lead time: _

e. Explanation of why delivery/ commencement of services by the date required is needed:

(explain the impact to the mission, any special circumstances or conditions, etc.)
