The SKL is a ruggedized, hand-held, Personal Digital Assistant Device that is used by the Army, Navy, and Air Force as a key component of the National Security Agency's (NSA's) Electronic Key Management System. The primary function of the SKL is to load a secure electronic key (Top-Secret, Secret, and Confidential) into End-Cryptographic Units to enable secure communications among tactical and strategic service networks. The proposed source for this action is Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC).

SNC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the SKL, has unique expertise and knowledge of repair and testing of the SKL. TYAD needs to acquire this expertise through training, purchasing of identical test equipment and test software, and failure and cost data that can only be provided by the OEM. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If you feel that your firm possesses the ability to provide this service, you must respond within fifteen (15) days of this notice.
