About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) document for federal contract opportunity FA442726Q1128 issued by 60 OSS (Operations Support Squadron) concerning the Building 179 Access Control System Replacement and Intrusion Detection System Upgrade, branded as LENEL. The solicitation involves replacing access control systems and upgrading intrusion detection systems at a secure area within the KC-46 aircrew training facility.
The RFI documents contractor questions and Government responses regarding certification requirements. A primary issue addressed concerns UL 2050 certification, which contractors initially questioned as an unnecessary requirement since Building 179 is described as a "secure area" rather than an accredited SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). The Government clarified as of August 26, 2026, that UL 2050 certification is not required for this solicitation. A secondary question addressed whether UL 2050 certification must be held by the prime contractor or could be satisfied through a certified subcontractor; the Government's response indicated that if required, certification must be held by the contractor performing work on SCIF/SCIF-related systems, though this requirement no longer applies. The RFI additionally specifies that CAC (Common Access Card) readers must comply with HSPD-12 and FIPS 201 standards.

Request For Information
60 OSS Building 179 Access Control System Replacement and Intrusion
Detection System Upgrade – BRAND NAME LENEL
Contractor Request (26 August 2026):
1. SOW Section 2.2 requires the contractor to be UL 2050 certified. UL 2050 is a National Industrial Security Systems certification tied to monitoring intrusion detection systems within accredited SCIFs under the NISPOM. Nothing in the SOW identifies the Building 179 secure area as an accredited SCIF, it is described only as a "secure area" within the KC-46 aircrew training facility. The Government's own response in Attachment 7 further ties the UL 2050 requirement specifically to work "on and/or in the SCIF/SCIF-related systems." If the Building 179 secure area is not an accredited SCIF, request the Government remove the UL 2050 certification requirement from SOW Section 2.2, as it does not appear necessary for this scope and unnecessarily narrows competition among qualified small business security integrators. If the space is in fact an accredited SCIF, request confirmation so offerors can size their response accordingly.
60 OSS / SFS: UL 2050 certified is not required.
2. CAC Readers must be in accordance with HSPD-12 and FIPS 201.
Contractor Request (21 August 2026):
1. Must the prime contractor itself hold the UL 2050 certification, or may those requirements be satisfied through a properly certified specialty subcontractor?
o UL 2050 Certification must be held by the contractor performing the work on and or in the SCIF / SCIF-related systems. (not required for this solicitation – as of 8.26.2026)
