81 -- GSA Class 5 IPS Security Containers

The Government plans to issue a sole source contract for the procurement of three GSA Class 5 IPS security containers that meet very specific requirements. The containers must include a quietized fan cooling system, weigh no more than 355 pounds empty, and have precise dimensions to accommodate a small equipment rack and three pieces of equipment. Each container will be equipped with a bottom-mounted slide shelf, a PDS conduit junction box, and a black separation cable box. The suggested model is TSM131WFC-1 or an equivalent product. This award will be made without full and open competition due to the unique specifications essential for housing equipment in the upper floors of historical General and Flag Officers’ quarters at USSTRATCOM, a requirement that only Trusted Systems, Inc. fulfills. The 55th Contracting Squadron at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, is the awarding agency, referencing solicitation number F3HSE18058A001BRAINERD under NAICS code 423420. The procurement is classified as a limited sources acquisition in accordance with federal regulations due to there being only one responsible source capable of providing the required product. The notice states explicitly that it is not a request for competitive proposals. For inquiries, interested parties may contact Contract Specialist SSgt Tanis Brainerd via email or fax, with additional contract support available through Roland J. Eder. The procurement focuses on fulfilling a specialized operational need for secure and suitable storage solutions in sensitive military facilities.
