CAPABILITY DESCRIPTION

Unified Network Operations (UNO) is a critical component of the Army’s network modernization plan, unifying its tactical and enterprise networks into a single unified network. UNO provides a suite of DODINOPS software (SW) applications that are interoperable, standards-based, and shared between the Integrated Enterprise Network (IEN) and Integrated Tactical Network (ITN). The overarching objective is to standardize DODINOPS tools, enhance simplicity, bridge critical gaps, and ensure affordability and agility in the face of emerging threats.

INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

The Government will make every effort to answer questions and provide responses but cannot guarantee that all questions will be answered before the RFI response submission deadline. Participation (or non-participation) in response to this RFI will not preclude any vendor from responding to future acquisitions, either individually or as part of a team.
