Unified Communications Software Platform Licensing

The U.S. Army is seeking a mature, commercially available unified communications software platform that meets the performance objectives and capabilities outlined in the Statement of Objectives (SOO). Required solution characteristics include a system‑ and hardware‑agnostic architecture with multicast stream ingestion, VoIP interoperability, dynamic talk‑group management, scalability from small teams to large formations, mobile device integration, offline/disconnected operation, and both server‑based and serverless client options. The software must be delivered as a modular, cloud‑native microservices suite deployable in Kubernetes containers, with built‑in access‑control, auditing, and training/support services. Offerors must demonstrate direct ownership or control of the capability, provide at least one referenceable unified communications/VoIP deployment, and prove the solution is fully mature, commercially available, and operationally ready. Responses are limited to a White Paper (max 10 pages, plus required cover material) submitted by 30 April 2026 1700 EDT via email to the listed Contracting Officer and Specialist. The White Paper must address solution overview, compliance with each SOO requirement, maturity evidence, architecture, integration, deployment timeline, training, GFE/GFI needs, and an OCI mitigation plan. Gate criteria (referenceable program and solution maturity) must be met for full evaluation. The award will be a FAR Part 12 commercial contract (anticipated IDIQ with FFP task orders), with possible multiple awards or no award, and may proceed directly from White Paper to award. Key dates: questions due 24 April 2026, evaluation completed 4 May 2026, demonstrations (if required) by 15 May 2026, award negotiations 25 May 2026, and contract award expected 29 May 2026.
