ENTERPRISE REMOTE ACCESSS (ERA)_RFI

This request is for information only regarding Enterprise Remote Access tools which support dynamic and secure means to access domains in a multi-classification Department of Defense (DoD) network architecture following the DoD Zero Trust (ZT) paradigm. The capabilities have been grouped into eight components that support: IT architecture, infrastructure, security, compliance, software tools, storage, usability, and training. Failure to identify a capability in one category will not be identified as a failure in another category. Collaboration may be possible between Industry partners to provide an integrated solution for Enterprise Remote Access which meets DoD governing policies and desired functionality. 

The Government understands that for listed capabilities, there may be no product that can deliver the listed capability. While there are eight components (Tables 1 – 3) to this RFI, a response with answers for the component is also appropriate since this is a development effort and collaboration on different capabilities may be possible, for example, one response identifies viable solutions to maintain existing capabilities, while another response identifies viable solutions to enhance ERA for the IT architecture. The Government is requesting that responders address on-premises, hybrid, or cloud service solutions regardless of respective section being considered. The listed objectives and thresholds serve to validate the ultimate ERA requirements.
