Area of Interest (AOI) for Next Generation Retransmission Device (NG – RD)

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking a prototype of a Next Generation Retransmission Device (NG‑RD) under OTA DISA‑OTA‑26‑R‑NGRD. The solution must be an all‑in‑one, modular, smartphone‑case‑sized device that eliminates external cables and provides a low visual signature. It must comply with CSfC MACP v2.7 (and future versions), use only COTS components on the CSfC list validated by NIAP, adhere to SCRM and ITAR requirements, and include separate, non‑integrated chips for Wi‑Fi (802.11 a/b/g/ac/ax/be – Wi‑Fi 6E/7) and unlocked global 4G/LTE/5G cellular (supporting eSIM and physical SIM). The device must support emerging transports such as direct‑to‑device satellite, provide signature‑management to mask RF emissions, and contain an independent cryptographic key store. Management must be via a FedRAMP‑High/DISA IL‑6 authorized cloud platform offering as‑a‑service lifecycle control, automated inventory/asset tracking, OTA firmware updates, and remote monitoring/reporting tools. Proposals are evaluated under the Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) with preference for innovative, existing, reference‑verifiable commercial solutions; if unavailable, adaptable recent products requiring minimal non‑recurrent engineering will be considered. Resellers, integrators, and academic research proposals are not desired. The prototype period should be six months or less, and successful prototypes may lead to a larger follow‑on production contract without further competition. Solution briefs are due 9 April 2026, 4:00 p.m. CST, to the DITCO OTA mailbox, with Booz Allen Hamilton identified as a non‑government advisor for evaluation.
