Hardware Content Filtering Diode (HCFD) Solutions for All-purpose Structured EUROCONTROL Surveillance Information Exchange (ASTERIX) Sensor Data Transfer

The United States Marine Corps, through the Marine Corps Systems Command (PEO Land Systems), is seeking to identify vendors capable of providing Hardware Content Filtering Diode (HCFD) solutions to facilitate secure transfer of All-purpose Structured EUROCONTROL Surveillance Information Exchange (ASTERIX) sensor data from unclassified networks to SECRET networks for the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S). This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for market research purposes and does not constitute a binding solicitation or obligation to award a contract. Key requirements include vendors must provide certified and accredited cross-domain solutions with deep content inspection and filtering capabilities that comply with National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) directives, support specific ASTERIX data categories (001, 002, 008, 034, 048, and others), and demonstrate "Raise the Bar" compliance. Responses are limited to ten pages (single-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) and must address company and product information, technical and security compliance status including NCDSMO/UCDSMO Approved Products List verification, deep content inspection methodologies, rough order of magnitude pricing, development and implementation timelines, and warranty and support offerings. The deadline for submitting responses is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 28, 2026, with submissions made via email or Safe Access File Exchange to Contracting Officer Bryan Keys (bryan.keys@usmc.mil) and Contract Specialist Sarah Kilmer (sarah.kilmer@usmc.mil).

This RFI contains no set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors or current contractors are identified in the notice. Pricing information must include rough order of magnitude costs for hardware (both single unit and redundant pair configurations), software licensing fees, maintenance and support costs, non-recurring engineering (NRE) expenses, and installation support fees, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the notice. The RFI does not specify quantity requirements or total contract value, as this is a market research phase intended to gauge vendor capabilities and availability prior to formal solicitation. Vendors should also provide proposed development and implementation timelines and detailed information regarding training, warranty, and ongoing support services. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any information or administrative costs incurred in preparing their RFI responses.
