About this opportunity
The Department of War, through the DOD Washington Headquarters Service, issued a Request for Information on commercially available, software-only cryptographic solutions with a response due date of September 27, 2026. The RFI seeks to identify potential sources and interim data protection measures for DoW programs of record that align with and advance the department's migration to post-quantum cryptography. Respondents should provide information on commercially available products and services demonstrating cryptographic capabilities suitable for federal government use, including technical capabilities, pricing models, and readiness to support government implementation timelines. This is a market research and source identification effort rather than a binding solicitation; responses will inform future acquisition strategy for software-defined encryption capabilities prior to full PQC implementation.
Notice text
The Department of War (DoW) is seeking information on commercially available, software-only cryptographic solutions to enhance data protection for its programs of record. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued to identify potential sources and solutions that can meet the Department's requirements for interim data protection measures, which are designed to be consistent with and advance the DoW's migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
