AI-Driven Real-Time Threat Detection Engine

The contract is for the development and integration of an AI-powered system designed to detect cyber threats in real time within encrypted commercial internet traffic without the need to decrypt the data. The solution will rely on behavioral baselining and anomaly detection techniques to identify malicious activity by analyzing patterns and deviations in network behavior, ensuring both security and privacy compliance. The system must operate at scale with minimal latency, supporting high-volume traffic flows typical in enterprise and defense-related environments, and must be deployable across heterogeneous network architectures without disrupting existing infrastructure. This subcontract is issued by the Department of Defense under the agency name HQ USSOCOM, with performance required in Tampa, Florida, 33621. The North American Industry Classification System code 511210 applies, indicating the work falls under software publishing and custom development. The opportunity was posted on May 4, 2026, and responses are due by May 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside classification or point of contact, and the technical scope focuses exclusively on non-decryptive, AI-driven threat detection, making it distinct from traditional intrusion detection systems that depend on packet inspection.
