Specs for GSA IPS Container, DOC # 90876851

Item:

- GSA Approved Class 5 IPS Container

Description:

IPS (Information Processing System) containers are GSA approved security containers constructed specifically for the protection of classified communications equipment. IPS containers are modified class 5 containers that are designed for closed-door, unmanned on-line operation of computers, network servers, workstations, and encryption equipment that process classified information. They come in several sizes and are door style design.

IPS containers feature the following provisions; they include rack-mounting assemblies, universal cable exit assemblies, power supplies, and cooling systems. They are built to Federal Specification AA-C-2786, and its Amendment 2, and come equipped with a lock meeting Federal Specification FF-L-2740.

Quantity:

- Twenty (20)

Dimensions:

- Minimum: 13"H x 15"W x 30"D (not to exceed an additional 2" on any given dimension stated); This is to conform to allowable space the unit will be placed.

Weight:

- Approximate: 300 lbs. empty +/- 50 lbs. (Federal Specification AA-C-2786) - The size and weight we are requesting will accommodate the amount of gear we will place in the container and therefore should by nature of size be well over 600-650 lbs. However, to insure we are above a certain weight means the container does not need additional security requirements applied to it (i.e. if it were too light, it would need to be securely fastened to a structure).

Locking Mechanism:

- X10 Lock (Federal Specification FF-L-2740)

Specific features required with equal to or equivalent functionality:

- Forced air cooling system; secure vents/ducts with 115VAC thermostatic fan controller with AC fans

- Power strip (Approximate: 5 to 10 outlet, 10 to 15ft cord, Exact: NEMA 5-15)

- Secured cable portal with a "protective distribution system" (PDS) junction box with a securable access panel/door; Minimum: 6"x6"x6" (not to exceed an additional 2" on any given dimension stated)

Note: This provides the capability to connect PDS conduit directly to the safe, PDS protects classified transmission lines with-in secured conduit and prevents exposure and access to the transmission lines. The securable access door allows easy access to assist feeding the cables in and out of the container as needed, the size of the box, if build to minimum size stated will be able to accept any existing PDS conduit we currently use.

1. SCOPE

1.1 Scope. The purpose of this document is to describe the U.S. Government’s requirements and expectations for a combination lock designed and manufactured specifically to protect unattended national security information (NSI). Combination locks approved under this specification will be used on new and existing General Services Administration (GSA) approved security containers, vault doors and pedestrian door deadbolts. These combination locks should incorporate modern electronic security techniques. The collective power of the Internet has created an increase in the number and sophistication of computer and electronic system hacking techniques. The new generation of electromechanical combination locks uses microprocessors with software codes that can be manipulated during manufacture and transportation.

Security features designed to ensure the code has not been altered during manufacture and transportation are required. The vulnerabilities of the new coding techniques mandates the development of new security requirements on the manufacturers to ensure the electronic components and software are adequately protected and are accessed only by personnel subject to U.S. law.

1.1.1 Limited use. Locks tested and qualified under this specification are to be sold only to the Federal Government, Government contractors specifically authorized to purchase these locks, or other organizations or persons specifically authorized or required by the Government to use these locks.
