NATO Request for Information: Commercial Local CIS Support

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) seeks to identify qualified vendors and gather input on potential solutions to support the upcoming acquisition for provision of local on-site support for CIS services up to Level 2 support activities across various sites. To that end, NCIA is issuing the attached Request for Information (RFI) to solicit feedback from capable and interested industry partners.

This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for bids. It is part of NCIA’s effort to ensure it has a clear understanding of the marketplace, available capabilities, and potential acquisition strategies.
