NCIA Request for Information (RFI)
To:

Industry Partners

1. The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors and gather input on potential solutions to support the acquisition of a voice and data gateway solution, to be achieved through the acquisition of a Proof of Concept (PoC) where the solution requires further development or adaptation. To that end, we are issuing the attached Request for Information (RFI) [insert RFI Number] to solicit feedback from capable and interested industry partners.
2. This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for bids. It is part of NCIA’s effort to ensure it has a clear understanding of the marketplace, available capabilities, and potential acquisition strategies.
3. We value your insight and invite you to:
a. Share relevant corporate capabilities and experience with voice and data gateway solutions, including how these are architected and deployed in comparable operational environments;
b. Review and comment on our draft requirements (Annexes A and B) with a view in providing recommendations for improving performance outcomes, competition, and efficiency; and identifying any risks or concerns that should be considered during planning.
4. Submission instructions and additional details can be found in the enclosure to this RFI.
5. Only companies from a NATO member country can participate in or respond to this RFI (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/nato_countries.htm). 6. Should you have any questions or need clarification, please contact Estefania Nunez at [email protected].
We thank you in advance for your time and input, and we look forward to engaging with you as we shape this potential acquisition.
