· Construction Material Composition: Detail the construction materials available for the walls, floor, and ceiling in the context of permanence and its resistance to (and evidence of) unauthorized entry.

· Attachment to Permanent Structures: Explain the methodology and construction materials for attaching the modular room to the existing depot infrastructure to ensure full extension from true floor to true ceiling.

· Construction Material Strength: Specify the strength of the ceiling and wall materials and how their equivalency in strength will be ensured.

· Doors: Detail the locks for access doors and how they comply with Federal Specification FF-L-2740. Provide information on how the access doors connect with the modular structure and are non-removable.
