About this file
This is a Standard Form 30 Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract for a Firm Fixed Price requirement for "Assessment and Accreditation Support for DOD (SCIF)" issued by the U.S. Army at Fort Cavazos, Texas. The solicitation is set aside for total small business and seeks a contractor to provide support for a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) that has already been constructed. Key requirements include personnel with Top Secret security clearance and SCI eligibility, expertise in ICD 705 compliance, SCIF construction assessment, TEMPEST standards, and SCIF accreditation.
The solicitation requires submission of complete proposals (Technical, Past Performance, and Price) by 1:00 PM on 26 August 2025, to be emailed to Reonel Delacruz and Dr. Leonard Traci. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for 14 August 2025 at 9:00 AM at White Sands Missile Range. The government intends to award to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. Evaluation will focus on the contractor's business registration, prior experience, past performance, and pricing, with an emphasis on personnel qualifications and previous SCIF-related work. The facility is located on the second floor of a DOD military installation and has already undergone construction and initial documentation.
