May 20, 2025 – The Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded CenCore a $19 million contract to build mobile Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) for the U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Lab under Project 7/11 .
This forward-operating initiative is designed to bring secure, deployable infrastructure directly to the battlefield, a critical step in enhancing operational agility and secure communications in austere environments.
100% American-Made, TS/SCI-Capable Mobile SCIFs
CenCore’s containerized secure units (CSUs) are the only patented, American-made SCIFs certified at both TS/SCI and SAP levels. Manufactured in Aurora, Colorado , these mobile units will support edge computing, mission command, and resilient communications for deployed U.S. forces.
CenCore’s CSUs are specifically designed to support the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) initiative by extending secure command-and-control capabilities across all military domains including air, land, sea, space, and cyber.
“This milestone marks a significant achievement for CenCore as a recognized program of record for the U.S. DoD and the USMC,” said Adam Fife , CEO of CenCore. “We are honored to support the warfighter with infrastructure that can be deployed in hours, not months, while bringing skilled jobs back to America.”
Supporting Defense Modernization and U.S. Employment
Headquartered in Springville, Utah , CenCore is known for delivering open-source, tech-agnostic security solutions tailored for rapidly evolving threat environments. With this latest contract, CenCore is not only delivering cutting-edge capability but also contributing to U.S. defense employment and American manufacturing.
The contract reflects the Marine Corps’ push for low-signature, rapidly fieldable infrastructure to support near-peer competition and modern operational needs.
