Fit reasons
- NAICS alignment with historical contract wins in similar service areas.
- Scope strongly matches core technical capabilities and delivery model.
Risks
- Past performance thresholds may require one additional teaming partner.
- Potential clarification needed on staffing minimums before bid/no-bid.
Next steps
Validate eligibility requirements, assign capture owner, and schedule partner outreach to confirm teaming strategy before submission planning.
Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, through ACC-APG, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify commercially available user-interface solutions (hardware and front-end software) for Corps-level commanders. This RFI aims to support commanders in visualizing, understanding, and interacting with complex, multi-domain battlespaces. Responses are due by June 23, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI is for market research and planning purposes only, seeking information on mature commercial solutions. The focus is on commander-facing interfaces, including hardware and front-end software. It explicitly excludes backend capabilities such as data management platforms, networking infrastructure, or modeling/simulation engines, as these will be provided by existing or planned Army programs.
Desired Capability
The Army seeks an intuitive interface for rapid comprehension and decision-making. Key features include:
- Intuitive visualization of large-scale, multi-domain operational environments.
- Natural interaction modalities (touch, gesture, voice, pen).
- Hardware form factors suitable for command posts and mobile platforms.
- Seamless integration with Army-provided backend data, networks, and services.
- Configurability for battle rhythms, staff workflows, and commander preferences.
Technical Considerations
Respondents should detail how their solutions operate within various Army network enclaves (NIPRNet, SIPRNet, SBU-E, tactical networks, cloud-hosted, simulation/training). Solutions must consume and visualize data from Army-provided backend systems (e.g., Mission Systems Server, synthetic training environments, operational data fabrics). The technical approach for data access, integration (middleware, gateways), handling, and security must be outlined. No new backend development will be funded.
Submission Requirements
Responses are limited to ten (10) pages in Microsoft Word format and are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on June 23, 2026. Submissions should include:
- Company Profile: Business details, CAGE, UEID, NAICS, size.
- Corporate Experience: Relevant DoD/Federal Government experience.
- Commercial Products: Description of relevant commercial offerings.
- Technical Description: Hardware, software, integration architecture, data formats.
- Network & Security Compatibility: Supported enclaves, cybersecurity posture, certifications.
- Prototype Test & Evaluation (T&E) Concept.
- Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Cost: Hardware, software licensing, integration, prototyping, total.
- Schedule: Estimated timeline for delivery, integration, and prototype maturation.
