About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Emerging Technology Directorate and Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) PS61, issued a Request for Information (RFI) on August 5, 2026 to gather industry input on updates to the Department of Defense Unified Capabilities Requirements 2013 (UCR 2013), Change 2, with responses due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on August 12, 2026. The RFI is market research only; no solicitation or contract award is anticipated.
DISA seeks vendor-neutral, capability-focused commentary on proposed interoperability requirements for four foundational Unified Capabilities technologies: Voice, Video, Chat, and Data/SDN. Submissions must exclude proprietary solutions, cybersecurity requirements, and Quality of Service criteria. Respondents address current and emerging technology alignment, Joint and Coalition interoperability, and operational relevance.
Eligible respondents must complete the Government-provided Excel response template, identifying organization name, UEI, CAGE code, and DFARS size classification. Tab 3 (required) solicits draft requirement review and suggested additional interoperability requirements using predefined categories. Tab 4 (optional) invites commentary on capability gaps, risks, observations, and cross-functional considerations. Submissions are limited to 5 MB and must be emailed to disa.meade.em-unified-capabilities@mail.mil with subject line "UC Requirements Review RFI Response." DISA has published supporting technical specifications for Voice (21 requirements), Video (22 requirements), Chat (7 requirements), and Data/SDN (20 requirements), establishing mandatory interoperability standards including SIPconnect 2.0, ITU-T F.703 Total Conversation, SIP-SIMPLE–to–Microsoft Teams gateway architecture with DoD cloud routing, and IETF RFC standards for topology exchange, configuration management, and telemetry. The Government will not reimburse response costs or guarantee clarification discussions.
