Request for Information -AI Cyber Defense for Commercial Internet

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) under solicitation number H92403KC, aimed at gathering market intelligence on AI-driven cyber defense solutions for its commercial internet environment, which supports approximately 500 users across mixed Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. The RFI seeks technical information on capabilities such as real-time threat detection, behavioral analytics, predictive intelligence for zero-day threats, encrypted traffic analysis, zero trust architecture integration, data loss prevention, and AI governance to prevent sensitive data leakage into generative AI platforms. Responses must be submitted no later than May 28, 2026, via email to Kristen Colyer at kristen.colyer@socom.mil and are limited to either a five-page information paper or a fifteen-slide PowerPoint presentation; no pricing, cost estimates, or contract proposals are permitted. Respondents are required to identify whether their solution is accessible through existing government procurement vehicles such as NASA SEWP, GSA Schedules, or Blanket Purchase Agreements, and may optionally submit a Non-Disclosure Agreement if proprietary information is included. The RFI does not constitute a solicitation for award, and no contract will result directly from this action; it is strictly for market research and planning purposes. There are no formal evaluation criteria, contractual clauses, award mechanisms, inspection standards, delivery terms, or funding identifiers specified, as the document adheres to the non-binding nature of an RFI. All submissions must be formatted as PDF, .docx, or .pptx files, with no physical deliveries, packaging requirements, or special certifications such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status disclosures needed. The place of performance for any future potential contract would be Tampa, Florida, though no such contract is anticipated at this stage.
