- Description
- 1.0 OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued by Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) as part of its Market Research to identify available sources, capabilities, and receive industry input in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 and is issued IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 15.201(e). This is not a solicitation for proposal; no order shall be awarded from this announcement. No reimbursement shall be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or for any follow up information requests. Nothing shall be construed herein or through this market research process to commit or obligate the Government to further action as a result of this research. The Department of Defense (DoD) is the lead agency for detection and monitoring of the aerial and maritime transit of illicit drugs into the United States, and provides support to law enforcement agencies' activities to counter drug trafficking, other forms of transnational organized crime, and terrorism. �DoD support helps disrupt and degrade drug trafficking and other illicit threat networks to a level that allows law enforcement agencies, local and regional security forces, or other elements of national power to manage the threat. �Under 10 U.S.C. �284, the Secretary of Defense may provide support for the counterdrug activities or activities to counter transnational organized crime of any other department or agency of the Federal Government or of any State, local, tribal, or foreign law enforcement agency for any of the purposes set forth in 10 U.S.C. �284. �Specifically, 10 U.S.C. �284(b)(9) provides authority for DoD to provide intelligence analysis services to U.S. law enforcement agencies. � The Counternarcotics (CN) analytic community funded by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Stabilization Policy (DASD CNSP) is comprised of intelligence and counter threat finance (CTF) analysts from various execution agencies (further referred to as the CN/CTF Community). �The CN/CTF Community provides tailored analysis (e.g., financial, communications, and network analysis) to law enforcement and interagency partners conducting complex, multi-national, multi-faceted operations and investigations to counter transnational crime with a narcotics trafficking or terrorism nexus. �A foundational requirement of the CN/CTF Community is the ability to access relevant publicly available information (PAI) while safeguarding analytic personnel and DoD networks from adversary observation, identification, collection and exploitation. � 2.0 REQUIREMENT To better support both the analysts and collectors, the CN/CTF Community needs Managed Attribution (MA) and internal systems/cybersecurity for secure remote web browsing. �Such a virtual web browser serves to isolate all internet web browsing traffic by offloading browser functions to a secure cloud environment and enabling users to reroute their browser traffic to global locations. This allows the analysts and other users to obfuscate both their identities and their agency affiliation from adversaries, while being provided a secure browsing platform. Prospective Software must include the following capabilities: Providing cloud-based, rapidly scalable virtual browser that also supports managed attribution collection through the use of foreign exit points and customizable user agent strings for the purpose of obfuscation. A robust collection tool for analysts with built-in functionality to capture video files, collect and mark-up images/website all within the framework of a cloud web browser, Capability of having a secure virtual browser that extends to the Enterprise the ability to directly control the security configurations related to uploading/downloading of files, cut/paste functions into and out of the browser, supports Common Access Card (CaC) authentication for DoD users. Provides a complete enterprise log trace for all user functions and allows agencies to encrypt logs with a private key (restricting visibility of log file information to specific government personnel) and offloading of log information to other systems. Ability to move browser activity to the cloud, eliminating the risk of foreign adversary detection, or attacks from malicious code. 3.0 REQUESTED INFORMATION Please respond to this RFI with responses to the questions outlined below and sufficient detail explaining your company�s capabilities as they relate to this requirement. Provide Company Name, Address, CAGE Code, Socio-Economic Status, and Company Point of Contact. Does your company possess licensable software that can perform all outlined capabilities from Section 2.0? Is the requirement outlined considered commercial? 4.0�� RESPONSES Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI. ONLY prime contractors should submit a response. Please do not include any proprietary information. Please limit your response to no more than 3 pages, using an 11-point or larger font, Word or PDF compatible format.� Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Please submit responses via e-mail to Chase Gordon at chase.gordon@us.af.mil no later than 12 February 2024 at 12:00 PM EST.
