AI Contract Overview

The Department of War is issuing a Request for Information to gather insights on providing information technology services related to the reception of Armed Forces Network (AFN) signals via Transport Streams over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) using the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol on commercial internet networks. This initiative supports AFN’s strategic shift away from satellite delivery toward internet-based distribution for improved operational efficiency, focusing on performance in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The RFI outlines technical requirements, including compatibility with Multi-Program Transport Streams (MPTS) or Single Program Transport Streams (SPTS), licensed Zixi support, and compliance with federal regulations such as Section 889 of the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. Respondents are advised that AFN will not fund required equipment and that facilities should maintain stable internet connectivity with specific bandwidth and static IP address criteria. The agency is evaluating integrated and modular SRT decoder solutions to accommodate different distributor setups, from simple bridging devices to comprehensive modular headend systems. Interested parties are asked to detail their approach to fulfilling the services in alignment with U.S. and German legal frameworks and describe existing relationships with key internet governance and regulatory organizations, such as standards bodies, regional registries, and governmental entities associated with domain management. Submissions must be made electronically by mid-May 2026 in specified formats and limited to five pages. This RFI does not guarantee a future contract or solicitation; rather, it serves as an information-gathering step for planning purposes as ARNF continues to modernize its content delivery infrastructure within the designated European operational area.

Description

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY – This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. Solicitations are not available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the United States Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the United States Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the United States Government. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

The US Army Regional Correctional Facility-Europe is exploring options for Contractor performance regarding the recommended equipment list for reception of Armed Forces Network (AFN) signals via Transport Steams over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) on commercial internet using the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol.

Transition to SRT has been recommended for all last-mile distributors (LMDs) worldwide as AFN’s strategic modernization efforts include the abandonment of satellite delivery for AFN content. All SRT decoders provisioned to acquire and distribute AFN signals must be compatible with Multi-Program Transport Streams (MPTS) or Single Program Transport Streams (SPTS), have native or licensed Zixi support, and comply with Section 889 of the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. MPTS is AFN’s preferred content delivery method to achieve operational efficiency within our licensing constraints. AFN will work with LMDs to verify proposed system topography and architecture and for those distributors using SPTS equipment to determine the best method to support their needs. AFN is not funded for, and cannot provide, the equipment needed for SRT distribution. All LMDs should have a stable internet service with redundant pathways, minimum bandwidth of 25 Mbps, and a static IP address for this service. AFN has identified SRT decoder options that meet the above technical specifications. Two SRT equipment options may meet LMD needs that offer an integrated and a modular solution. Integrated options are often the most straightforward choice for facilities that have existing distribution headend systems with available ASI or IP inputs. It acts as a simple, robust bridge between the incoming SRT streams and the existing infrastructure. Modular options provide versatility and can serve as a complete, self-contained distribution headend. It may be an ideal choice if the LMD needs to build a new headend or desires a single system to handle signal reception, processing, and direct-to-cable modulation. Its modularity allows for future expansion to meet changing requirements.

USARCF-Europe is seeking the following information:

1. Potential Respondents shall describe how they would propose to successfully perform these services, assuming that all services provided by Respondent would be accomplished in accordance with all applicable U.S. and Germany laws, regulations, policies, and procedures.

2. Potential Respondents should describe both their existing relationships with the following entities and the extent to which such relationships would enable to successfully perform each of the three services:

the Internet engineering community
Internet standards development organizations
Regional Internet Registries
Country code top level domain operators
Generic and sponsored top level domain operators
National governments or public authorities associated with specific country code top level domains.

Responses to this RFI shall be submitted via email to 409th_TCC_MSD@army.mil no later than 1600 Central European Summer Time (CEST) on 13 May 2026.

Submissions should be provided in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format and shall not exceed 5 pages in length. Please ensure the subject line of the email reads: "RFI Response - Transport Steams over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) on commercial internet using the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) - [Company Name]".
