Potential TE solutions sought may be either hardware-based, software-based, or a combination thereof. Information gained from this RFI may also be used to aid in determination of the most appropriate contract type or Other Transaction Authority instrument best suited to procure a TE capability.

This RFI is for Market Research purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. The Government may revise its draft requirements at any time, issue other RFI's, or may elect not to proceed with a procurement.

Vendor questions will not be addressed, and the Government will not provide answers to questions related to this announcement.
