Diagnostics and Monitoring Firmware Development

The contract is for the development of secure, in-band diagnostics and monitoring firmware designed to operate without any external connectivity or telemetry capabilities, ensuring complete isolation from network-based communication. The firmware must support manual update procedures only, eliminating automated or remote update mechanisms to maintain heightened security and compliance with strict operational constraints. This project is intended for use in environments where data integrity and physical isolation are paramount, and all diagnostic functions must be conducted internally within the device or system without reliance on external infrastructure. The work is being procured as a subcontract under the Naval Air Warfare Center, part of the Department of Defense, with the NAICS code 541512 indicating it falls under Custom Computer Programming Services. The solicitation was posted on July 29, 2026, and responses are due by August 13, 2026. No specific location for performance is designated, and there is no set-aside classification or point of contact provided. The project emphasizes secure, self-contained firmware functionality with no external dependencies, aligning with defense-grade security standards for sensitive platforms.
