About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals to develop scalable and privacy-preserving communications capabilities over commercial networks through the Generating Communication Channels to Operate program. DARPA is soliciting innovative proposals in two technical areas: network services to optimize deployment of privacy-preserving techniques as software services, and a network architecture framework to deploy and manage those services. Proposals are due by November 14, 2022 and will be evaluated using criteria detailed in a classified addendum available to cleared offerors upon request by October 31, 2022.
There is no set-aside designation. The anticipated total funding for the initial fifteen-month base period is $25.5 million to be awarded to multiple contractors. Technical area 1 addresses network services while technical area 2 focuses on network architecture. The total period of performance is expected to be three years with this announcement soliciting proposals for the first fifteen-month base period and optional six-month extension. NAICS code 541715 and PSC code C499 both apply. No incumbent is named.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in scalable, privacy-preserving communications over commercial networks to enable military applications.
Generating Communication Channels to Operate (GeCCO) seeks to enable secure communications for military applications in permissive environments by using a flexible communications architecture to deploy virtual network services to preserve privacy by preventing pattern-of-life analysis. Today’s distributed operations across the globe require a small logistical footprint in order to enable collaboration with mission partners while still preserving privacy of communications. GeCCO will overcome this challenge by enabling the secure use of already widespread cellular networks in order to reduce the logistical burden of deploying military systems. Today’s advanced cellular networks enable rapid configuration and reconfiguration through virtualization and software programmability at the edge. GeCCO will use this advanced cellular networking technology to create the virtual network services needed to preserve privacy while improving quality of service compared to today’s tactical radio networks.
