Request for White Paper - ICD 705 Compliant Trailers

The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) is seeking whitepapers from the AEDC Velocity Alliance Consortium and industry partners to design, procure, install, and accredit temporary secure working areas (TSWAs) using ICD-705 compliant trailers or prefabricated facilities. This effort, managed by AFTC/PZIA at Arnold AFB, Tennessee, is conducted under the Other Transaction Authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022. The project is structured into two phases: Prototype A, which focuses on virtual design, business process validation, and site selection, and Prototype E, which involves the physical manufacture, installation inside Building B876, and formal accreditation. Key technical requirements include achieving STC-55 soundproofing for conference rooms, securing TEMPEST certification, and ensuring strict compliance with NSA guidelines and Risk Management Framework (RMF) cybersecurity standards. The evaluation process is multi-stepped, beginning with a compliance screen for completeness and statutory eligibility under 10 U.S.C. § 4022(d). Technical evaluations will focus on the performer's historical competency in ICD-705 standards, utility integration, and quality control planning. From a pricing perspective, offerors must provide firm-fixed-price proposals for the five base design milestones and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) for optional procurement and execution phases. Additionally, the government favors performers who agree to unlimited data rights. Interested parties must provide evidence of CMMC Level 2 compliance and request requirement documents by emailing their CAGE code to the designated points of contact.
