PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) Defense Contract Management Agency DCMA-DSSX Information Processing System (IPS) Security Suite 1. General: The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is requesting a single purchase order to purchase two (2) IPS security containers and associated material in accordance with Section 2.1.1. 1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all equipment, supplies and personnel necessary to perform on-site installation services of the IPS security containers at Fort Lee, Virginia and Arlington Heights, Illinois. The contractor shall deliver all equipment and technical support for initial installation and throughout the warranty period as indicated in this PWS. 1.2. Background: DCMA is the DoD lead on the Defense Industry Base (DIB).

The Industrial Analysis Center (IAC) is the agency lead for the DIB and all analysis conducted. Information produced during the analysis must be protected at the appropriate level. Additionally, the IAC and agency senior leadership will need real time information during the analysis process. The most efficient way to provide this capability is by use of the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet). SIPRNet allows communication up to the Secret classified information level. IT equipment used in SIPRNet operations requires specific safeguards. The use of an appropriate IPS security container will allow real time, expedited communication at the Secret classified information level via SIPRNet between the responsible field offices, the IAC, and agency senior leadership. 2.
