Secure Data Management & Cybersecurity Integration

The contract calls for the implementation of secure data storage, ingestion, and processing systems designed to operate in disconnected expeditionary environments while adhering to FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 cryptographic standards and the Department of Defense Risk Management Framework. The solution must ensure robust cybersecurity protections in austere, low-connectivity operational conditions where traditional infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. Emphasis is placed on end-to-end data integrity, access control, encryption at rest and in transit, and continuous monitoring capabilities without reliance on external networks or cloud-based services. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, indicating it pertains to custom computer programming services tailored to meet specialized military requirements. Performance is expected to occur at Edwards, with submission deadlines set for August 28, 2026. The project is sponsored by the Department of Defense under the FA8684 Aflcmc Rodk office, targeting advanced cyber resilience for tactical operations where data security must be maintained under extreme conditions. All systems must be certified, validated, and field-deployable with minimal logistical footprint while satisfying stringent DoD compliance mandates.
