The Army’s Program Executive Office Command, Control, and Communications Tactical (PEO C3T) is out with a new draft request for information (RFI) to obtain feedback from industry on the PEO C3T’s Unified Network Operations (UNO) program.
“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,” the June 26 RFI says.
“UNO provides a suite of Department of Defense Information Network Operations (DODINOPS) software (SW) applications that are interoperable, standards-based, and shared between the Integrated Enterprise Network (IEN) and Integrated Tactical Network (ITN),” the document notes.
It continues, “The overarching objective is to standardize DODINOPS tools, enhance simplicity, bridge critical gaps, and ensure affordability and agility in the face of emerging threats.”
The Army is expecting to issue the multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract in mid-fiscal year 2025.
It has an expected ceiling of more than a billion dollars. The Army is using the software pathway acquisition model to develop a software-defined, agile network of the future.
Vendors must email the Army PEO-C3T to request access for the draft documents, and comments on the draft solicitation are due by July 17.
