On April 15, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) posted a solicitation for Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) space. The deadline for white papers has been extended to April 24.
The Government seeks solutions from responsible sources capable of providing, operating, and maintaining SCIF space to support companies performing work on classified national security missions.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) (henceforth known as the Sponsor) anticipates potentially awarding one or more Prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreement(s) under the authority described in 10 U.S.C § 4022 as modified by 50 U.S.C, § 3024(n)(6). The Sponsor anticipates making multiple awards under this solicitation, subject to the availability of funds. The Sponsor anticipates that the total value of all agreements awarded as a result of this solicitation will not exceed $2M for Prototype OT award(s) under this effort.
The Sponsor seeks prototype projects that demonstrate the establishment or provision of accredited SCIF space, including buildout (if required), accreditation support, and compliance with applicable IC and Department of War standards. Projects should propose an operational concept, described in unclassified terms, covering access controls, secure classified IT/connectivity (as permitted), security management, badging, visitor control, and facility administration.
The Sponsor is receptive to a range of approaches, including commercially sustainable models with tenant-appropriate pricing structures that can be scaled and replicated across multiple sites. Prototype activities may include standing up or modifying a SCIF at an initial location, demonstrating onboarding of at least two simultaneous tenants, and validating governance, security, and operational processes. Prototype scope, milestones, and the number of initial sites pursued will be tailored to available funding.
Review the SCIF space solicitation.
