About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting market research through this Request for Information to identify potential sources for Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD WAN) solutions and integration services. The Project Manager Tactical Network seeks vendors capable of providing SD WAN technologies that can operate effectively in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments with automated network traffic routing and prioritization capabilities across multiple concurrent links. Key technical requirements include link aggregation, multi-site virtualized Ethernet fabric, Quality of Service classification, various transport modes, link-aware traffic steering, and robust operation under challenging network conditions. Responses to this market research effort are limited to 20 pages and must be submitted by 1600 EST on September 16, 2025. The RFI emphasizes this is purely for information gathering purposes and does not constitute a commitment to procurement, with respondents required to provide administrative details including company contact information, CAGE code, and Unique Entity Identifier.
This pre-solicitation notice indicates no set-aside designation is being used, making it a full and open competition opportunity. The documents do not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for similar services, nor do they specify potential award values or budget ranges for future procurement activities. The RFI falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and PSC category R425 for Professional Engineering/Technical Support services. No specific quantities of equipment or defined timelines for service delivery are mentioned in the market research documentation. The Army's focus on transport resilience and tactical network capabilities suggests this effort supports broader military communication infrastructure modernization initiatives, though specific deployment timelines or operational requirements are not detailed in the current RFI materials.
