About this file
This is a Questions and Answers matrix document addressing inquiries about a Department of Defense (DoD) Publicly Available Information (PAI) Alerting Service requirement. The document contains four questions and government responses focusing on user demographics, filtering capabilities, and guidance requirements.
The responses clarify that the service should be available to approximately 3.2 million users across all DoD components, including military service members and civilians. The government provides detailed examples of required filtering capabilities, including topical filters (force protection, global crisis, cybersecurity), regional filters (aligned with Combatant Command AORs, country-specific, maritime regions), and event-based filters (such as current global conflicts). The document also addresses guidance requirements, indicating that DoD will provide instructions on authorized uses of the capability, including handling of U.S. Persons Information (USPI) and compliance with licensing restrictions.

Sheet1
| # | Document (i.e. PWS) | Paragraph (if applicable) | Comment/Question | Government Response | |
| 1 | RFI | Section 4, Subsection 2, Question 7. | Would the DoD clarify what portion of the 3.2 million users are administrators versus end users receiving messaging alerting service. | The final breakdown of user versus administrator will depend on actual capability details, but respondents should base responses around a total userbase of all DoD employees from every DoD component. | |
| 2 | SOO | Section 5/Peformance Objectives, Question 4. | Would you provide clarification on the nature of the users - are they every single member of DoD, or a what-definition subset? | The intent is for this capability to be available across DoD, including military service members and civilians, within every DoD mission area. The final breakdown of authorized users will depend on actual capability details, but respondents should base responses around a total userbase of all DoD employees from every DoD component | |
| 3 | SOO | Section 5/Peformance Objectives, Question 12. | Would you please provide further insight into this requirement – does this mean pre-defined filters based on roles? Please provide an example. | This requirement would include pre-defined filters based on topic areas of interest or geographic areas of relevance and include the ability to set and customize filters to control alerts received. This filtering is not strictly based on roles; it would be more appropriately understood based on the totality of DoD mission areas. Examples may include (respondents should not interpret these examples as minimum requirements but solely as a potential model for filters): | |
| • | Topical areas of interest | ||||
| o | Force Protection Alerts: Direct threats against U.S. military personnel, installations, or interests | ||||
| o | Global Crisis and Conflict: Military events, terrorist activities, or events promoting or signaling regional instability. | ||||
| o | Disasters and Humanitarian Crises: Natural or manmade disasters, emergency response efforts | ||||
| o | Cybersecurity Treats: Emerging cyber attacks, malware distribution events, data breaches or attempts, newly identified vulnerabilities. | ||||
| o | Emerging Technology and Adversary Capabilities: Claims or demonstrations of major technical advancements, particularly foreign military developments. | ||||
| o | Supply Chain and Infrastructure Disruptions: Global supply chain issues, logistic disruptions, major weather events affecting travel and supply, critical infrastructure failures. | ||||
| o | Space Domain Awareness: Launches, satellite activities, counter-satellite threats, space debris alerts (could be considered regional as well) | ||||
| o | Etc. | ||||
| • | Regional | ||||
| o | Filters aligned to Geographic Combatant Command AORs: USCENTCOM, USINDOPACOM, USNORTHCOM, USEUCOM, USSOUTHCOM, USAFRICOM. | ||||
| o | Country specific filters: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, Syria, etc. | ||||
| o | Filters aligned to forward deployed locations: Germany, South Korea, Japan, Middle East, Colombia, etc. | ||||
| o | Maritime and Litoral regions: South China Sea, Persian Gulf, Black and Baltic Seas, Horn of Africa, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, etc. | ||||
| o | Major global regions: Levant, East Asia, Eastern Europe, South and Central America, etc. | ||||
| o | Ability to create geofences a plus | ||||
| • | Event based | ||||
| o | Flexible filtering based on major, semi-persistent global events of interest: Gaza-Israel Conflict (2023-present), Russian-Ukraine War (2022-present), Bab al-Mandeb Shipping Crisis (2023-present), Haiti Security Crisis (2024-present), etc. | ||||
| 4 | SOO | Section 5/Peformance Objectives, Question 16. | Please provide clarity on what this guidance is. | This guidance will be provided by DoD and will cover authorized uses of the capability, but depends on the capability's data availability and licensing restrictions. For example, this guidance may instruct users on handling of U.S. Persons Information (USPI) encountered in the capability. As another example, if the vendor's license limits particular uses of the capability, such as creating derivative works, DoD guidance on what users can and cannot do will be required |
