B. General Requirements

This Sources Sought outlines the minimum requirement for the Innovation and Experimentation Lab:

• Approximately 13,350 SF Modular Kit: This space will be home to 46 different rooms (conference rooms, office spaces, lab space, communication rooms, and common areas).

• Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 Spaces: Approximately 8,650 SF of the modular space will consist of ICD-705 spaces that must adhere to security requirements set forth within the ICD-705. The spaces modular panels will be true floor to true ceiling and have an RF shielding decibel (db) rating of -80 and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 50. We understand that lab rating and finished in-place product ratings are different, in this case the finished product rating is required to be -80 for RF and 50 for STC. RF & sound testing (ASTM) will be required to show proof that the desired rating was reached for the entirety of the space. HVAC vents/ducting & utilities will be installed in a way that complies with TEMPEST requirements (power filters, dielectric breaks, etc.) The ICD-705 space will have a fully operational Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The IDS system will be required to be installed to meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 2050 and provide a certification stating such. The IDS will have High Security Sensor (HSS) sensors on all perimeter doors within this facility, it will also be required to have 360-degree motion sensors within 3 feet of any entrance to the space. The IDS Premise Control Unit (PCU) will be housed within ICD-705 space (in comm room). Primary (main entry) doors to the space must meet the -80 db RF rating and be STC 50. Primary doors must be equipped with a deadbolt meeting FF-L-2890, have a combination lock meeting FF-L-2740 & be equipped with a by-pass keyway. Emergency egress doors must meet the -80 db RF rating and be STC 50. They will also be equipped emergency egress device with a deadbolt configuration meeting the most current version of Federal Specification FFL-2890 for exit only door use. Emergency exit doors must also have a 24/7 locally annunciated alarm. No exterior hardware is authorized for emergency exit doors. All perimeter doors (primary & emergency) must be equipped with automatic non-hold door closers installed on the inside of the door. Hinge pins that are accessible form outside must be equipped in a way that prevents removal of door. All internal non-perimeter doors will meet a STC rating of 50. A set of rolling (colored) lights will be installed throughout this space and be controlled from the front of the space.

• Open Secret Storage Spaces (OSS): Approximately 2,750 SF of the modular space will consist of OSS spaces and must adhere to the security requirements of the SECNAV M-5510.36. This space is not required to have an RF rating, but it is required to be true floor to true ceiling and be built to meet an STC rating of 50. This space will be equipped with its own IDS system. The IDS system will be installed in accordance with the above stated manual. Primary & emergency doors will have level II HSS installed on them. There will be a motion sensor installed within 3 feet of the primary entry & emergency exit doors. The PCU will be located within the OSS space (in comm room). A set of rolling (colored) lights will be installed throughout this space and be controlled from the front of the space. The HVAC and power system will be built to the SECNAV M-5510.36 specs for classified space.

• Unclassified Common Spaces: Approximately 1,950 SF of the modular space will consist of Unclassified Common Spaces including a common area, restroom facilities, kitchenette/breakroom, electrical and mechanical rooms, & a Counterfeit material Prevention Program (CMPP) laboratory. These spaces do not need to meet any STC rating.

• Entire Space: The entire space will have an ICD-705 compliant Access Control System (ACS) that services all spaces within the facility (unclassified space minus the front door do not require card readers), the brain of this system must sit within the ICD-705 space. The access control transmission lines must be protected by 128-bit encryption/FIPS 140. All card readers that are not within a secure area (ICD-705 & OSS) must be protected using an anti-tamper device. This automated system must incorporate two verification methods (biometric, badge, personal pin). The facility will also employ the use of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system with a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that has the ability to record and store data for 30 days. The systems brain will be protected and housed within the ICD-705 space. All transmission lines external to the ICD-705 space shall be installed to prevent tampering. Cameras should be placed on the exterior of the facility pointing at all emergency exits, the main entry to the modular facility, the entry door to the OSS space and the entry door to the ICD-705 space. The DVR & CCTV system needs to be able to allow for the customer to customize what feeds are being shown on individual on monitors. Monitors that display the camera feeds will be placed within four areas in the ICD-705 space and one area within the OSS space.

The modular lab will be designed to be installed inside a warehouse facility at Naval Base Ventura County located at Port Hueneme, California. The modular lab installation must adhere to Federal, State and local laws regarding modular spaces.
