About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity (FA487726QA043) issued by the Air Force South (AFSOUTH) for deployable SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) tents, dated March 12, 2026.
The government is seeking one set of a deployable SCIF tent with RF shielding capabilities that meets ICD-705 standards for compliance. The preferred product is the FT Series FT10-PUF-1020 tent; however, equivalent solutions are acceptable if they meet salient characteristics and demonstrate ICD-705 compliance. The required RF shielding must provide a minimum attenuation level of 38dB across a frequency range of 38dB to 90dB. The tent is intended for primarily outdoor use with potential indoor applications. Specific TEMPEST/RF attenuation standards will be evaluated by the CTTA at DIA, and each SCIF-specific requirement is subject to their assessment. The tent will operate as a deployable SCIF with mitigation options to comply with ICD-705 standards during deployment. Performance of this requirement does not involve handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Quotes should be prepared for delivery to AFSOUTH SSO, 5340 Gafford Way Building 70 Room 110, Davis Monthan AFB, AZ 85707, with shipping cost estimates included in proposal preparation.
