Secure Media Gateway (MGW) Hardware Development and Supply

The contract requires the design, manufacture, and supply of hardened secure Media Gateway hardware engineered to convert analog voice and data signals into IP-based packets while fully complying with ITU-T V.150.1 and SCIP-215/216 standards. The system must interface seamlessly with Department of Defense cryptographic devices and Session Initiation Protocol architectures to ensure secure, encrypted communication across legacy and modern networks. Hardware must be robustly engineered for operational resilience in high-threat environments, with strict adherence to cryptographic integrity, anti-tamper mechanisms, and secure key management protocols mandated by DoD directives. The effort is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334511, positioned within the Department of Defense's It Contracting Division - PL84, with a submission deadline of August 14, 2026. The performance location and point of contact details are not specified, but the technical scope implies requirements for classified infrastructure support and secure supply chain practices. Only vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade communications hardware, cryptographic integration, and compliance with U.S. government security standards are expected to respond. The timeline suggests a rapid procurement cycle, with proposals due approximately three weeks after posting, indicating urgency in fielding this capability.
