NATO Request for Information: Cyberspace Warfare Development and Experimentation

Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for industry support in identifying existing and under-development cyberspace operations concepts, products, or capabilities that HQ SACT can consider for experimentation in support of the implementation of the cyberspace domain.

This RFI is seeking innovative, tailored, and actionable experiment proposals in the area of cyberspace operations to inform HQ SACT cyberspace warfare and capability development efforts. Generic proposals to demonstrate, validate, or evaluate commercial products will not be considered. This RFI does not constitute a commitment to issue a future Request for Proposal (RFP).

HQ SACT has not made a commitment to procure any of the items described in the RFI, and release of this RFI shall not be construed as such a commitment, nor as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement will be required or sought. Respondents are advised that HQ SACT will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. The costs for responding to this RFI shall be borne solely by the responding party.

Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any subsequent RFP if issued in the future. All information shared with HQ SACT might be shared with contracted third parties in order to support the capability development process as needed. Provision of data, or lack of, will not prejudice any respondent in the event that there is a competitive bidding process later as part of NATO Common-Funded Capability Development. Do NOT submit your RFI questions/responses to the Department of Commerce.

All requests for clarifications, questions, and responses to this RFI must be sent via email to all Points of Contact provided in the RFI. Contracting and Technical POCs must be included in any correspondence.
