Description: The SKL replaces the NSA EKMS DTD component (at the Tier 3 level) with a state-of-the-art technology device to support Tier 3 data-loading device. The Services developed the SKL with state-of-the-art technology to replace all DTDs and provide simple loading capabilities. It is backward compatible with existing DTDs (i.e., CT3 UAS) until all DTDs have been replaced. Though backward compatible, both the SKL hardware platform and software components provide capacity for future growth. The SKL consists of a host computer and an NSA-developed cryptographic component on a Personal Computer Memory/ Card International Association (PCM/CIA) Type II card (i.e., the KOV-21). (a.) Physically, the SKL host platform is a ruggedized hand-held Personal Digit al Assistant (PDA) device composed of the following hardware: housing, external connectors, external indicators, external controls, display, host computer board, and KOV-21 PCMCIA type card. The PDA runs the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Windows CE" Op erating System (OS). The COTS software supplied by the host hardware vendor includes the OS image, KOV-21 driver, BootLoader, and Board Support Package (BSP). The CSCIs developed to operate in this environment include the Secure Library CSCI, Core Librar y CSCI, and SKL User Application Software (UAS). (b.) The SKL platform is approximately 7.4 x 3.75 x 1.5 inches in size and weighing 1.75 pounds (including battery). It is composed of the following hardware: housing, external connectors, external indicators, external controls, display, host computer board, and KOV-21 PCMCIA type card. The SKL is powered by a 400MHz XScale processor that runs the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Windows? CE 4.1 Operating System (OS). It has 64MB of storage (backed up by battery) and 64MB of working memory, as well as 64MB Flash memory, with factory upgrade options of 128/128/96 MB, respectively. The COTS software supplied by the host hardware vendor, who must be pre-certified by NSA, includes the OS image, KOV-21 driver, BootLoader, and board support package (BSP). The CSCIs developed to operate in this environment include the Secure Library CSCI, Core Library CSCI, and SKL UAS. Potential sources must have a secret facility clearance with the capability for open storage of classified material. Furthermore the unit proposed by the contractor must be certified by the National Security Agency. This announcement is an expression of interest only and does not commit the government to pay for proposal preparati on cost. Interested parties should be alert for subsequent announcements that may be published in the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website.
