Description

This Sources Sought/RFI notice is issued by the United States Marine Corps (USMC), Marine

Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Program Manager Combat Support Systems (PM CSS), Product Manager Maintenance and Support Systems (PdM MSS).

PdM MSS is currently exploring the market for a proven, 20-foot Convention for Safe Containers

(CSC) certified, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) format structures capable of

Temporary/Tactical Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (T-SCIF) and

Temporary/Tactical Special Access Program Facility (T-SAPF) accreditation (i.e. has proven instances of receiving temporary accreditation in accordance with Intelligence Community

Directive- ICD-705 v1.5.1 and DONSAPCO 0459-23 compliant shelters in an operational and/or training environment).

The responses provided to this Request for Information (RFI) could aid the Government in determining its acquisition strategy. Offerors are encouraged to share information about potential solutions, even if the solution does not fully meet the below characteristics.

Responses

Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI no later than 9 April 2026, 4:00 PM EST.

Responses shall be written in Times New Roman single spaced 12-point font. Responses shall be submitted via email only to: Mark Denhup at mark.denhup2@usmc.mil and Kimberly Stone at kimberly.a.stone@usmc.mil. The submission should include two separate file attachments: 1) the

White Paper in Microsoft Word or Office compatible format and 2) the completed Questionnaire in its original Microsoft Excel format. Proprietary information, if any, should be minimized and

MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED. To aid the Government, please segregate proprietary information. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.

(1) Section 1 of the white paper shall provide administrative information. Administrative information shall include at a minimum:

• Name, mailing address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address), phone number, fax number, and email of designated point of contact (POC).

• Business website

• Business type and number of employees (large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a)-certified small-disadvantaged business, HUBZone small business, woman-owned small business, very small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business).

• Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number, SAM.gov Unique Entity ID and

Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code (if your company has these).

• The facility security clearance of the offeror.

• Do you have a Federal Supply Schedule that can support this procurement? If so, provide the GSA Schedule information to include the category of products provided.

• What existing contracts do you have with government agencies or Department of War entities for 20ft variants of ICD 705 compliant shelters that have a proven history of

SCIF/SAP accreditation?

*Section 1 of the white paper shall be limited to one page.

(2) Section 2 of the white paper shall provide qualitative information on the products and services each offeror can offer. Offerors shall address the following:

• Compliance and Certifications: Specify relevant certifications, standards, or compliance measures that shelters adhere to, such as DONSAPCO 0459-23, DoDM

5105.21 Volume 2, SAP/CAP, SCI, ICD-705 version 1.5.1, ICD 705-1, DONSAPCO

SAO 0565-23, DONSAPCO 0038-21, IEEE 299-2006, CNSSAM TEMPEST/01-13

MIL-STD, and CSC/ISO standards.

• Describe how materiel solution meets scalability, (i.e., ability to complex/connect structures to increase usable space and preserve integrity of RF and Sound

Transmission Class (STC) attenuation).

• Would your solution be able to integrate the Marine Corps’ family of power and environmental control unit systems?

• Describe your approach to C5ISRT integration. How does your design accommodate power, data (both copper and fiber), grounding, and HVAC for government-furnished equipment? What is the typical power consumption and heat dissipation load your standard environmental control solution can support?

• Describe your solution's transportability. Include all modes (land, sea, rail, and air) for which it has been designed, tested, or certified. Of interest to the Government is proven compatibility with ground tactical vehicles, such as the Medium Tactical Vehicle

Replacement and Logistics Vehicle System Replacement. Specify compatibility with military material handling equipment (e.g., Rough Terrain Container Handler, Extended

Boom Forklift)

• Describe your solution's air transportability. Has it been certified for internal or external lift on a C-130, C-17, or other airframes?

• Ability to provide external power sources and communications sources through penetrations that will preserve Sound Transmission Class and high Radio Frequency

Attenuation levels, e.g., waveguides or non-conductive breaks.

• Operational Suitability: Include user feedback and/or prior use cases of T-SCIF/T-SAPF accredited shelter employment within the DOD; specifically, the ability of tactical military units to transport, operate and maintain in austere environments of varying levels of extreme temperatures and humidity (e.g., Japan, Norway, Panama, Arizona).

• Describe the durability of your solution. What is its expected lifespan with multiple deploy/re-deploy cycles? For what environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind load) has it been designed or tested.

• Describe your solutions methods for corrosion mitigation. Does it use chemical agent resistant coating (CARC)?

• Training required for a tactical military unit to maintain and operate.

• Manufacturing Readiness and Production Capacity: Please address the following:

o Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) with justification; identify maturity shortfalls and associated costs and risks.

o If the system is not currently in full-rate production, is the system design complete and stable to enter low-rate production.

o Supply Chain Management and risks addressing long lead items (defined as greater than 1 year) and critical components. o Adherence to the Buy America Act.

o Production capacity and scalability and schedule to maximum production rate with existing facilities.

o Lead time from contract award to first delivery. o Identify the minimum sustainment rate to ensure continuous production.

• Security protocols supporting structure design/build.

o Locations of primary assembly.

o Materials sourcing.

o Security/access processes for facilities.

o Employee vetting: screening and citizenship of employees directly involved with design/construction.

o Capacity to host and grant 24 hour/7 day a week access to multiple government assigned construction security technicians and security site managers within manufacturing and assembly areas to observe and report on daily operations and compliance with construction security plan.

• Support and Maintenance: Describe the support services and maintenance requirements offered with the shelters, including availability of spare parts, supply chain risks, training for personnel, and warranty provisions.

• Cost and Delivery: Provide rough order of magnitude for the procurement of the shelters, including any associated expenses such as technical data packages and data rights, training, and logistics. Additionally, indicate lead times for delivery upon order placement.

• Describe your technical approach to meeting the physical, acoustic, and RF attenuation requirements. Of interest to the government is: Radio Frequency attenuation rating of 80 dB or greater from 1kHz to 10GHz on all six sides when measured at the inspectable space boundary (inspectable space is anticipated to be less than 20 meters); sound Transmission

Class (STC) of 50 or greater on all six sides and ability to exceed 50 STC; Heat transfer coefficient of 0.3 (Btu/h-ft2-°F) or better. Describe your testing methodology for assessing

RF attenuation, STC, and Heat transfer coefficients. Do you test in house or contract a third party? Who is the third party?

Ability to source and install STC 50 and RF Shielded doors. Additional test data that the offeror would like the government to be aware of to include 3rd party test reports.
