IPS Containers

The purpose of this synopsis is to provide notice of Naval Information Warfare Center
(NIWC) Atlantic's intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order on a non-competitive
basis to Trusted Systems, for the acquisition of eight (8) IPS Container information
processing Systems. Manufacturer is Trusted Systems, 2920 Dede Road, Suite A,
Finksburg, MD 21048.

Part number: TSM131V30-SC.
Description: IPS Container information processing System 13in H x 15in W x 30in D.

The Government intends to negotiate solely with Trusted Systems under the authority of
FAR Part 13.106-1(b). There is a lack of competition due to the restrictions in place on
approved security containers under the DOD Lock program. Since the Government must
utilize the standards in place under General Services Administration authorized federal
specification AA-C-2786A, only one approved manufacture will be able to produce the
required IPS Container.

The NAICS Code is (541519) and the Small Business Size Standard is ($30,000,000.00).

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source
believing that it can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal,
or quotation.

Responses to the pre-solicitation notice can be submitted via the NAVWAR E-Commerce
website at NAVWAR E-Commerce Central (navy.mil) by Tuesday, June 06, 2023.
