Request for Information (RFI) - Joint Targeting Integrated Command and Coordination Suite (JTIC2S) Commercially Available Capability

The Department of Defense has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Joint Targeting Integrated Command and Coordination Suite (JTIC2S) Commercially Available Capability" aimed at gathering industry insights to support the development of JTIC2S, a next-generation, cloud-native joint targeting and fires planning system intended to replace the current JADOCS platform. Managed by the U.S. Army C5ISR Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, this initiative emphasizes agile development with iterative 13-week release cycles targeting full deployment by Fiscal Year 2026. Respondents are invited to provide information on automation, AI/ML integration, data fusion, user interface improvements, cybersecurity practices compliant with DoD STIGs and SIPR eMASS, and system interoperability adhering to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) standards. The government seeks non-binding Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates and potential approaches for data rights, intellectual property, and cybersecurity, all critical factors that will inform future acquisition strategies. As a market research activity, this RFI does not constitute a solicitation, nor does it provide contract values, evaluation criteria, or commitments for award. Proposals, limited to ten pages and submitted electronically by June 19, 2026, must be unclassified and may include proprietary data clearly marked, with all submissions becoming government property. Respondents requesting access to source code must comply with nondisclosure requirements. The government has designated points of contact within the contracting office at Aberdeen Proving Ground for inquiries and submission guidance. Inspection, acceptance, and contract administration details remain to be defined, reflecting this stage’s focus on information gathering rather than formal contracting. Overall, the RFI represents a foundational step toward shaping requirements and contracting approaches for a sophisticated command and control software suite supporting multi-domain joint operations.
