Area of Interest (AOI) for Secure Mobile Device Communications (SMDC) Prototype Other Transaction (OT)

DISA is seeking a prototype for Secure Mobile Device Communications (SMDC) under an Other Transaction (OT) (solicitation DISA‑OTA‑26‑R‑SMDC, CSO HC108425S0001). The solution must be an all‑in‑one, modular device the size of a smartphone case that meets or exceeds CSfC MACP v2.7 (and any later versions) and all NIAP‑validated components on the CSfC Components List. It must support unlocked 4G/LTE (carrier‑agnostic, embedded and physical SIM) with CONUS service for the prototype and be capable of expanding to 5G and OCONUS connectivity in a follow‑on effort. Wi‑Fi 6E/7 (802.11 a/b/g/ac) transport is required, and the connectivity chip must be separate from the main processor. The prototype must integrate secure OTA firmware updates, remote monitoring tools, and be compatible with current and future DoD‑approved mobile form factors (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S25/S26), with scalability to additional devices in later contracts. All components must comply with CSfC, NIAP, Supply‑Chain Risk Management, and Trade Agreements Act requirements, and production must be achievable in an ITAR‑regulated facility. The Government will award the AOI through the Commercial Solutions Opening process and gives preference to vendors that can demonstrate an existing, reference‑verifiable commercial product that meets the listed attributes; otherwise, the least‑effort adaptation of a recent product will be considered. Proposals should target a performance period of six months or less. Solution briefs are due 22 April 2026, 5:00 p.m. CDT, submitted to the DITCO OTA mailbox (disa.scott.ditco.mbx.ps84‑other‑transaction‑authority mail.mil). Late submissions will not be evaluated.
