THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY
This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) only. The Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) Joint Program Office (JPO) is conducting a market assessment to identify potential costs and cost drivers associated with a National Security Agency (NSA) approved non-Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI), which utilizes Government-owned Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capabilities to support the Isolated Personnel (IP) in austere combat environments.
This announcement is not a request for proposal, or an invitation to bid. This RFI should not be construed as the Government's commitment to issue a solicitation or contract award, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. The Government will not reimburse or pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI or any follow-up information requests. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party's expense. Additionally, submissions to this RFI become Government property and will not be returned.
