NetOps Solution commercial Software Licensing and integration supporting services

The U.S. Army is conducting market research to identify mature commercial software solutions and associated support services (maintenance, enhancements, integration, testing, etc.) for a Network Operations (NetOps) platform that will provide continuous, secure, and resilient network management, cybersecurity, and information‑dissemination/content‑staging (NM/ESM, Cybersecurity, IDM/CS) capabilities across the full spectrum of Army operations. The solution must be a commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) product that can be licensed annually and deployed on‑premise, in the cloud, or at tactical edge environments; it must be hardware‑agnostic, MOSA‑compliant, containerized, and support current, NGC2, and C2NOW architectures. Required functions include unified network planning and PACE support, AI/ML‑driven analytics and risk modeling, low‑code/no‑code customization, automated configuration and patch management, interoperable Net COP visualizations, end‑to‑end encryption (CNSSP‑15 TLS), ICAM (Kerberos, SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM, XACML, ANSI 449), TPKI, comprehensive logging, integration with endpoint security tools, and a common user interface that provides training, automation, and rapid error correction. The software must achieve ≥ 97 % availability, restore operations within 45 minutes, meet DoDI 8510.01 RMF Assess‑Only accreditation, and scale to division‑level assets (≈ 10,000) and brigade‑level assets (≈ 2,500) without exceeding compute or network capacity. Vendors are asked to submit, via the listed point of contact, (1) entity information (name, UEI, address, contact details, ownership type), (2) a tailored capability statement demonstrating compliance with each listed requirement and any prior DoD deployments, and (3) a description of how the solution will be seamlessly provided and installed. The Army intends to procure directly from the original equipment manufacturer; resellers must provide a value‑added justification. This source‑sought announcement is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of funding.
