(b) Justification.

(1) Minimum Government requirements.

(a) SCIF Technical Requirements

(i) Modular SCIF panels with height customization.

(ii) Non-mechanical panel locking design which extends the life of the components, as there are no mechanical parts to deteriorate over time.

(iii) Design specifications shall meet or exceed ICD 705 standards, STC 50 rating, and TEMPEST.

(b) SCIF Support Requirements

(i) Contractor shall have knowledge and experience in assembly and disassembly of Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs.

(ii) Contractor shall be able to procure proprietary Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIF components (such as panels) and parts for SCIF scalability or replacement due to damage.

(iii) Contractor shall be able to provide accreditation and warranty on new and existing SCIF components and installed systems, such as HVAC and electrical systems.

(iv) Contractor shall be able to respond to service calls on SCIF components and installed systems, such as IDS, HVAC, and electrical systems.

Only the contractor that has installed these systems will have the required knowledge to service these while not voiding the warranty or accreditation.

(2) Proposed sole source contractor.

(a) Centurion Consulting LLC, 8SLW7, Small Disadvantaged Business

(b) Centurion Consulting LLC has installed five (5) Centurion Secure Vault

Series modular SCIFs in support of DISA, , , and since 2021. Each Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIF cost approximately

. If the Government is unable to redeploy these units, it would face the duplicative cost of replacing those units at approximately .

(c) Only Centurion’s installation team have the experience and knowledge to disassemble and reassemble its Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs.

More importantly, Centurion provides the accreditation and warranty for the modular SCIFs which are critical aspects of this effort. Any other vendor would require installation training from Centurion Consulting LLC and would permanently void the warranty on the existing components and potentially require reaccreditation following support services. Centurion Consulting LLC’s guarantees accreditation and service provided on currently deployed SCIFs by their team would not require reaccreditation.

(d) Based on previous quotations for the redeployment of existing SCIFs, to include disassembly, transportation, and reassembly, the timeline to redeploy existing facilities within the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia

Page 6 of 11 Pages region can be accomplished within days. The timeline for a new SCIF, to include the lead time for the components can be

(e) Centurion Consulting LLC has proprietary rights to their Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIF components, as they worked with its manufacturer to design the physical components utilizing their personal knowledge and ongoing experience. Centurion has the sole capability to procure components

– either for replacement of damaged panels, scaling up of existing SCIFs, or the deployment of new SCIFs.

(f) Procuring additional systems that are not compatible with the five deployed Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs, would result in the Government having to repurchase the entire suite of modular SCIFs when the locations or sizes required change in the future. By utilizing a single source, the Government has the ultimate flexibility to deploy SCIFs as required to maintain critical support to the , , and no-fail missions.

(g) New Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs come with a one-year warranty, and Centurion has an extended warranty on the SCIF components/replacement parts. The use of a different vendor to service these SCIFs would void that warranty.

(h) In March 2022, DISA procured its first Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIF via a competitive procurement. Three quotes were received.

Centurion Consulting LLC was awarded that contract based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology, in response to a small business set-aside solicited via the GPE, after unsuccessful attempts as a small business set-aside via GSA eBuy and unrestricted via GSA eBuy.

(i) In the initial SCIF effort ( ), this was competed and was awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Accepted methodology. Odin Security was thrown out for not meeting the administrative requirements.

Therefore, it was not evaluated. Centurion was the next lowest price and found technically acceptable. In accordance with the solicitation, Eniwetok was not evaluated. For each subsequent procurement, a Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Sources Sought was posted to the GPE and no other contractors have been identified as capable to meet the requirement.

(3) Discussion regarding cause of the sole source situation.

The Government has previously procured five (5) modular SCIFs from Centurion Consulting LLC. The has four (4) SCIFs currently deployed, and one of those reutilized components from a previously deployed SCIF provided by Centurion Consulting LLC. In March 2022, the Government conducted a competitive acquisition for a modular SCIF in the area with similar compatibility requirements. The result of that acquisition was an award to Centurion Consulting LLC using Lowest Price Technical Acceptable evaluation methodology.

An additional component of this requirement is task areas to allow for the disassembly, transportation, storage, and reassembly, as well as reaccreditation of the currently deployed and active Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs. While the Government has reviewed alternative systems and sought out additional sources, Page 7 of 11 Pages

Centurion Consulting LLC is the only vendor able to procure compatible replacement components, and with the expertise to disassemble and reassemble the current SCIFs without damaging the components or systems or voiding the warranty, as they did the initial installation and accreditation.

(4) Impact.

If Centurion Consulting LLC is not used for this requirement, the Government will be unable to redeploy its existing Centurion Secure Vault Series modular SCIFs.

Furthermore, the Government would not be able to acquire compatible components for modifications and/or repairs to existing units with compatible hardware and structures. If another contractor is used for this requirement, additional costs will be incurred as Centurion Consulting LLC will be required to provide training on assembly and disassembly of the existing SCIFs. Furthermore, service on existing SCIFs by another contractor would void the warranty and possibly void the accreditation, which is essential to this requirement, and ultimately disrupt the no-fail missions of , , and .

6. CONTRACT OPPORTUNITIES ANNOUNCEMENT/POTENTIAL SOURCES: The Government posted a Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Sources Sought, in accordance with (IAW) FAR 5.201, on November 4, 2024. This notice yielded one response from BHPE LLC.

However, the contractor did not provide a capabilities statement. After research of the company using their website, the Government identified that BHPE offers a variety of goods and services, primarily operating under NAICS 336413 - Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. BHPE did not provide any information as to its ability to provide Centurion Secure Vault Series SCIF components or the ability to knowledgably assemble or disassemble those types of SCIFs. Furthermore, BHPE did not provide any information on its ability to transport or store SCIFs. The Government determined that BHPE is not capable of meeting the requirements of this effort.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST: IAW FAR 12.209, the Government intends to establish price reasonableness IAW FAR 13.106-3(a)(2), utilizing a comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases and comparison to an independent Government estimate.

8. MARKET RESEARCH: Market research was conducted by the Acquisition Program Manager, , beginning September 2024 through November 2024. This market research included a review of the DISA Market Research Repository, market research reports for similar acquisitions, review of DISA-wide and Government-wide Acquisition contracts, a Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Sources Sought notice, and conversations with knowledgeable persons in Industry.

In October of 2024, the team identified two results in the Market Research Repository that included keyword “Modular SCIF”. The first was signed in August 2022 and the second was signed in March 2023. Both previous MRRs yielded a sole source decision to Centurion Consulting LLC (Centurion). The team also reviewed market research for DISA awarded

Page 10 of 11 Pages part of its market research, the Government discussed with Centurion Consulting LLC who has access to procure the components of the Centurion Secure Vault Series SCIFs. As of November 2024, only Centurion Consulting LLC can acquire these components from its manufacturer, as they were involved in the development of the components. Furthermore, the Government discussed the ability for other contractors to assemble and disassemble Centurion Secure Vault Series SCIFs. Centurion explained that only Centurion personnel have the expertise and knowledge on assembly and disassembly of Centurion Secure Vault Series SCIFs. Centurion compared it to how their personnel would not have the expertise to assemble or disassemble another contractor’s SCIF. After review of the actions taken, it is determined that a sole source environment still exists.

(c) The previous requirement, which resulted in contract , was a stand-alone action, which is why it was competed. Two SCIFs completed in September 2022 via and single SCIF contract awarded in April 2023 added to this support structure. This requirement continues to expand support of the entire suite of modular SCIFs under the purview and management of and DISA.
