E-MAIL: Steven Sills, steven.sills@scott.af.mil. OFFADD: AFCA/GCOR, 203 W. Losey St, Rm. 3065, Scott AFB IL 62225-5234 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION DESC: This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) synopsis and market research. Information obtained as a result of this synopsis is for planning purposes only. It does not constitute an invitation for sealed bid or request for proposal (RFP), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. The government is currently conducting a market survey and analysis of government off-the-shelf and commercial off-the-shelf products that can meet the requirements for the Air Force to integrate digital signatures into the Forms Management Program. The software must meet all mandatory requirements to be Joint Technical Architecture-Air Force (JTA-AF), Defense Information Infrastructure-Common Operating Environment (DII-COE), DoD Public Key Infrastructure X.509 Certificate Policy and Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. The software must operate in a Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT environment. The software must support the Air Force Forms Management Program allowing current forms to be digitally signed and routed with integrity of form ensured. It is highly desirable that the software provide the capability to digitally sign other applications/documents in the JTA-AF such as Microsoft Office. The software must also be able to recognize and evaluate digitally signed applications/documents. The digital signature evaluation should include checks on certificate revocation, certification expiration, certificate chain of trust, and data integrity of the application/document contents. The software must allow specification for a set of trusted public key infrastructure certificate authorities in the evaluation process. Additionally, the software will be evaluated on other aspects such as the ability to display an electronic version of a handwritten signature. Vendors responding to this market research who currently can make products available to the Air Force are requested to provide descriptions and specifications of the products available within 30 days after the posting date of this notice. Potential vendors may express interest, make comments and ask questions via electronic mail or fax comments or questions to the Air Force Communications Agency, Records Services Branch at AFCA-GCOR@scott.af.mil, FAX (618) 256-8682. Vendors that meet Air Force requirements will be asked to demonstrate, at no cost to the government, capabilities and provide software for Air Force testing. All comments and questions must be in writing and must identify the company source, contact person and telephone number.
