- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI). The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in support of the Department of Defense (DoD) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is seeking commercial vendors whose products, tools and/or toolkits are designed, configured and fully ready to support the DoD PKI (including specifically, X.509 digital certificates). DISA desires to interact with vendors, obtain evaluation copies of applicable products, and conduct independent tests to determine if products should be incorporated in future DoD PKI infrastructure and applications directions. This is a request for information (RFI) and no contract will be awarded pursuant to this announcement. This RFI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement will be issued. The government invites comments and interested parties to submit their indication of interest, along with: documentation addressing the technical specifications of their products, tools or toolkits; the costs to the government for the product; a point of contact for technical question about the product; any proprietary/non-disclosure data requirements and availability for testing in a proof of concept lab. The government does not intend to otherwise pay for information received in response to the RFI. The products, tools and toolkits submitted will be evaluated to determine if they are compatible with open standards and can be integrated with the DoD PKI. DISA expects to invite selected vendors to its proof of concept lab to demonstrate the capabilities of their products, or to demonstrate the ability of their tools and / or toolkits to Public Key-Enable (PKE) a selected DoD application. There is no implied promise that all products, tools or toolkits submitted in response to this RFI will be invited to demonstrate capabilities. DISA will determine which products are selected according to the needs of the Department. The results of the testing will be made available to all vendors chosen to demonstrate their products. Vendors should include FIPS compliance and NIAP certification results as applicable. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with applicable Government regulations. If there is a GSA or other contract vehicle already available for the technology being proposed, please include this information in the response. Firms who wish to respond to this should send responses via email NLT 21 Feb 02.
