Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Architecture & Integration

The contract entails the design and implementation of a comprehensive migration from legacy public key infrastructure to CNSA 2.0-compliant post-quantum cryptography standards, requiring the integration of new PQC-certified Certification Authority and Directory Server systems using government-off-the-shelf code. This effort must ensure seamless transition, robust security, and full compliance with National Security Agency guidelines for quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols, with all components deployed and operational at the designated performance location in St. James, Maryland, under federal defense oversight. The work is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541512, placing it within the information technology services sector, and is administered by the Department of Defense’s It Contracting Division - PL83, emphasizing urgency and precision in replacing vulnerable cryptographic systems with quantum-safe alternatives before potential quantum computing threats materialize.
