USAO SPR RFI’s

Q1. Please advise on the required document, “Proof of construction of a Tempest certified SCIF”. This document was discussed at the pre bid, but not included in the RFP.

Answer: Proof of construction of a SCIF will no longer be required.

Q2. We understand the reasoning behind the stated 8 bullet points of this requirement, for similar completed past projects, as shown in the attached (yellow high-lighted) Factor I supplement.

However, we would very much appreciate your re-consideration in Factor I & II, (see attached), and allow that one (1), and not three (3) show completion of the SPR wall construction as one of the pre-requisites for considered relevancy.

This RFI is being “respectfully requested,” as this type of wall construction is relatively new to past GSA projects, and we feel that requiring three (3), of this particular item would be difficult in achieving for any of the small business concerns pursuing this project.

Further we feel that having “Tempest Certified” as another “pre-requisite for relevancy,” is also over-burdening, and perhaps having this be replaced with “demonstrating achievement in completion of SPR or SCIF stringent standards as performed to other GSA, FBI, or DHS as the reference,” would be equitable to all of the participating small businesses.

Answer: No longer required.

Q3. Is this facility a SCIF or being used for processing secure data? If it is a SCIF, I don’t see the ICD-705 Version 1.4 referenced, and has the Accrediting Official already approved the project?

Answer: This is a SCIF.
