Description
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather input on potential solutions to support the upcoming acquisition for the technology pillar of the NATO Integrated Cyber Defense Centre (NICC).

This RFI covers four out of the five independent Work Packages (WPs) that support the NICC mission. Interested parties are invited to submit their response to one or several WPs. This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for bids.

Feedback can be provided in writing in accordance with submission instructions and/or by attending a dedicated Business Workshop: “Uplifts for Cyber Capabilities” taking place at NATO Edge on 17-19 November in Izmir (Türkiye), where NCIA will respond to clarifying questions and invite comments from participants.
